Daxter

Daxter is a platform game developed by Ready At Dawn and published By Sony Computer Entertainment exclusively for the PlayStation Portable.

It is a spin-off to the Jak and Daxter series and instead focuses on Daxter, where the game is set in the final 2 months of the 2 years gap of the opening of Jak II.

Why It Rocks

 * 1) Amazing graphics especially for a PSP game.
 * 2) The game focuses more on the gameplay of Daxter levels that appeared in Jak II and Jak 3, and it's well handled despite being made by a studio other than Naughty Dog.
 * 3) Haven City is still almost the same as it was in Jak II, which is amazing for a handheld at the time.
 * 4) * On top of that, some levels are huge as well, which shows how the game went beyond the limitations sometimes.
 * 5) Daxter uses an electronic blue eco powered bug-swatter, which is great for combat and making good moves.
 * 6) After a few missions, you'll unlock an extermination tank which sprays green eco-based bug spray to stun enemies.
 * 7) You can upgrade your extermination tank spray to unlock new abilities such as hovering or turning your bug spray into a flame thrower.
 * 8) Despite the story being more light-hearted compared to Jak II, it still has intense moments such as chasing Jak's car.
 * 9) Lots of collectibles such as Golden Bug-Gems which are currencies you get from killing bugs, and Precursor Orbs which can be used to unlock many stuff.
 * 10) Collecting enough Precursor orbs unlocks Dream sequences, which are 6 minigames of Daxter dreaming and each of the 6 dreams are parody of famous movies such as The Matrix, defeating them unlocks rewards as well.
 * 11) Despite Daxter's size, you can ride vehicles when you find them.
 * 12) Lots of likable characters, such as Osmo.
 * 13) Even though the game's plot is set during Jak II, newcomers can still enjoy this game without feeling they're missing out on something.
 * 14) * The game's plot also has lots of fan services for the old fans as well.
 * 15) If you connect the game to a save file from Jak X, you can alter Daxter's goggles, and if that save file is 100% completed, you get a modified scooter.

Bad Qualities

 * 1) Haven City in this game is an empty open world, this is probably due to the limitations of the PSP.
 * 2) The combat bugs multiplayer is basically rock paper scissors.
 * 3) While not bad, the soundtrack can be forgettable.
 * 4) Other than the final bosses, most of them are the same. They're not bad however.

Reception
The game received critical acclaim from critics and fans, with praise for the achievements the game did with the PSP.

Many websites claim Daxter as a must own game for PSP owners.
