Emulated in 4:3, 360p to feel like original hardware on my PC, as I am now doing with all games from this era.

My wife handed the controller to me. This game is not very fun.

It feels like a vex tier budget platformer. The jump is atrocious, half the time it is inconsistent and wont let you double jump, Jak runs slowly and you can charge to make things quicker - but he gets no iframes or anything so he just fucking dies if you accidentally go near anything making it too risky to bother spamming it. The camera is shit too.

This game is really average. Its definitely a 5 but could drop or gain a point if I ever feel like completing it. It feels like the game doesnt want you to have fun playing it. Like its actively fighting against you.

The art style is pretty and Jak is fun to control, its the actions that arent fun to execute. Not to mention the blue eco is shit, he runs fast but its actually worse because hes not invincible so enemies are even more of a risk, it feels like rather than boosting through youre hurriedly carrying a piece of china through a gauntlet.

And green eco? Wtf is that? It makes no sense. The health is shit too, constantly dying because he can only take three hits but that also includes fall damage when the camera decides to make you fall or get hit by something you cant see.

Won't be in a rush to pick this one up.
