Daxter
By Sony | Out  March 21, 2006

Daxter without Jak? A sidekick with no main man? It's either madness or genius, and we're sliding our casino chips on to the second one. As an animal Daxter has greater speed and agility, plus a slew of new moves, while the game itself returns to the purist platforming of the first Jak & Daxter. Bizzaro dream sequences, a spraygun-based hover move and even crop-dusting levels all whisper further of potentially mad genius.

WHY'S IT ESSENTIAL?
J&D revitalized platforming before veering away; Daxter returns to pure leapery.
