Game Description:

An all-new adventure platformer made exclusively for the PlayStation Portable entertainment system, Daxter is centered around the world of the lovable orange ottsel made popular in the multi-million-selling Jak and Daxter franchise.

The story unfolds as Daxter searches for Jak, who was imprisoned during the events that led to the start of Jak II. Daxter, now on his own in an unfamiliar place, quickly realizes that being small and furry won’t help his chances of survival.

To help stamp out a mysterious metalbug infestation, Daxter takes on a job as a pest exterminator, enabling him to explore parts of Haven City in an effort to collect the clues that will lead him to Jak.

Daxter Reviews:

“The pint-sized Daxter is every bit as good as its console counterparts, bringing all the best elements of the action-platformer Jak games fluidly to the PSP…Daxter is every bit as entertaining as its PS2 counterparts, looks absolutely stunning, and manages to pack the full console experience into a handheld without being dumbed down in the slightest.“ Gamespot

“Daxter is simply an outstanding PSP game that brings back the old-school platform gaming the industry has been shying more and more away from. Sure, its story is kind of ridiculous and even a little boring, but the events that said story lead into are fantastic. From the great level design to the ultra-refined controls to the excellent production values, Daxter is a game every PSP gamer should check out.” IGN

“Daxter is platforming at its best; it’s a game that stays true to the genre’s roots and doesn’t muck about with vehicular combat, gritty urban environments, baddies called Tyrone Cokedealer or any of that nonsense. If you’re a fan of the other J&D games, or even just platformers in general, you won’t be disappointed.” Eurogamer

“…if you’ve been thinking about getting a PSP this is the game that should push you over the edge. It truly delivers on the rich console experience on a portable device that we’ve all been dreaming about ever since the PSP was first announced.” GamingTrend
