The game follows the protagonist, Jak, as he tries to help his friend, Daxter, after Daxter transforms into an ottsel (a fictional hybrid of otter and weasel). With the help of Samos the Sage, the pair learn that they must save their world from the antagonists Gol and Maia, who plan to flood it with Dark Eco. The game offers a large range of missions and minigames as well as puzzles and platform elements that the player must complete to proceed. | The game follows the protagonist, Jak, as he tries to help his friend, Daxter, after Daxter transforms into an ottsel (a fictional hybrid of otter and weasel).

|Comments=Blocky water when viewed at a distance (only visible early in the game). Looks blurry when upscaled without HW hacks or a deinterlacing patch (I used the patch at https://forums.pcsx2.net/Thread-No-interlacing-codes). Very occasional lag at the title screen and in some cutscenes e.g. the bombs exploding at the Mountain Pass, but gameplay ran at full speed at all times. Sound gets a bit choppy when there are loud sound effects (e.g. explosions), and there are crackling sounds when saving savestates, even if there is no sound when saving. Fully playable (I completed the game 100%). | |||

|Comments=Completed about 3/4 of the game. Excellent emulation with a few tweaks. Run in OpenGL mode and make sure Blending Accuracy is set to at least Basic. This solves shadow issues. Set Mipmapping to Basic too, this will counteract some distant texture issues. A bug remains where distant water doesn't render correctly in hardware mode, it will have blocky textures, but this is barely noticeable and only an issue in the first area of the game. I used a no-interlacing patch for a clearer and sharper image (just google this). Even with interlacing disabled, the game is very blurry due to the way it renders. However this can be counteracted very well by enabling HW hacks and setting the texture offsets Y value to 300. The image won't be perfectly clear and sharp, but looks lovely. | |Comments=Completed about 3/4 of the game. Excellent emulation with a few tweaks.

|Comments=I finished the game with 98% - all Power Cells. The game is pure joy to play, and apart from the known minor graphical glitches, no real problems. However, I experienced some major crashes in on particular level (Precursor Basin, only there), but they for some reasons faded away and did not hinder me to collect all Power Cells. Responsiveness and controls are just perfect. Upscaled graphics are eye candy. | |||

|Workaround=Issue has been fixed on 1.5 dev builds. Use OpenGL renderer and make sure Blending Accuracy is set to at least Basic level.
