Daxter

Background

Jak's loveable sidekick, Daxter, is taking center stage in this new platformer for the PSP. It is a prequel to Jak II where we learn the story of how he saves Jak at the beginning of Jak II and how the metal-head invasion really started in Haven City. Jak is in prison, being tortured by the Baron, and Daxter is left alone to try and figure out a plan to save him - if he's not too distracted by big city fun, that is.

Features

• Daxter allows gamers to play from his animal perspective, chronicling his back-story during the two years spent alone in Haven City and answering the questions of how he managed to free Jak.
  
• A special "Animal" mode allows Daxter to climb walls and creep up on enemies. As Daxter is an ottsel and not a human, players will have a unique move set with agile abilities, as Daxter can crawl on all fours, fit in small places and maneuver vehicles.
  
• One of the first games to offer PSP and PlayStation 2 interoperability, game via USB connection. Gamers can use their PSP to unlock drivers, vehicles and graphics for Jak X: Combat Racing or connect to their PS2 to open up secret features in Daxter.
  
• Daxter's swatter and bug spray gun offers unique action mechanics across numerous seamless environments. Utilize the spray gun to hover around in the levels and add another dimension to classic platforming gameplay.
  
• The graphical style stays true to the Jak and Daxter universe, as players will get to explore locations unseen in Jak II and Jak 3.
  
• Players can join Daxter inside his most secret dreams where he finally gets to act out his fantasies of becoming the hero he always has pretended to be. When he falls asleep on the job, players can enter his dreams in special bonus levels and see him act out his ego-driven fantasies showing off his unique attack mechanics.
