Welcome to the PS2 Review page. I'll be writing reviews of all the games I have played, owned, currently own, or plan to own in the future. These are all in the order I have them in on my game case rack, so, don't expect alphabetness.

 

"Jak & Daxter: The Precursor Legacy"

The story behind Jak & Daxter: Two boys, I'm assuming teenage, live in a countryside village on the shore. They sail off on a "borrowed" boat, to an island near them that's supposedly haunted. Misty Island. As the boys explore, they find lots of monsters, and some kind of guy and chick barking orders at them. They decide to leave, and explore the island a bit more. Daxter ends up falling into some purple ectoplasmic goo, and turns into an Ottsel. Which is like an otter and a weasel. The sage of their village tells them they need to embark on a quest to stop the monsters they saw, as well as find a man named Gol, to help Daxter return to normal, but ends up being their most hated foe.  Jak & Daxter is a very fun, lighthearted game, and even if you're amazingly stupid or superbly intelligent, it's guaranteed to have it's challenges throughout the game. Psycho's gives it a 9 out of 10.

"Jak 2"

The Story behind Jak 2: Our previous heroes have enjoyed about a year or two of quiet peacefulness in Sandover Village. While Samos and his daughter, Kira, work on some precursor artifacts, Jak and Daxter offer to help in any way they can. When they get a huge portal working, a big ol' monster pops out and yells, "You cannot hide from me, boy." and the four are scared, and somehow or another, flung into the future. Jak is captured on sight, and tortured, getting pumped full of Dark Eco. Later, the ever faithful Ottsel, Daxter, comes to his rescue. As Daxter tries to find a way to free Jak, Jak turns into some badnasty strong dark eco beast, and rips himself out of the prison, with Daxter in tow. And thus, Jak 2 begins.  Jak 2 is alot darker in storyline than the previous game, and in this one, you get guns! As well as can hijack flying cars. It's GTA all over again! Except the Krimzon Guard doesn't care, as long as you don't steal one of their own vehicles. But let's see here...Guns, awesome storyline, VERY much a challenge, for it took me a week to beat it, and old loveable characters, with humor from the Daxter front. Jak even TALKS! Psycho's gives it a 10 out of 10. Jak 2, is fabulous.

"Jak 3"

The Story behind Jak 3: Our heroes once again go on an epically......epic......adventure. Of epic proportions. Jak is banished into the wastelands, which is nothing but a huge, endless desert, while Haven City is being attacked by both ex-Krimzon Guard, despising the fall of the Baron, and metal head survivors, despite the fact that their leader, Kor, was destroyed in all his entirety. And in this one you get dune buggies with spikes and guns and drive through the desert! Wee! Regardless, Jak and Daxter must prove themselves worthy to stay in Spargus, find out a way to get home, stop the attack, and save the day once again. Jak 3 is much like Jak 2, the story is ALOT darker than the first Jak game, and perhaps even darker than the second. Though it has it's pros and cons against the others, Psycho's would rate this probably the best Jak game out of the series. Jak's a ladies man in this one, he has to beat them off with a stick. Who knows who is heart belongs to? The precursors ask a favor of Jak, so who knows? There might be another one. Psycho's gives Jak 3, a 10 out of 10.

"Eternal Ring"

This is the crappiest game. Ever. It's an FPS. Not First Person Shooter...First Person Stabber. Unique, to say the least. The story: You are a boy named Cain. You are ordered by the king to set off into a haunted island to help the villagers there. But get this, the minute you land on shore, your father is eaten by a dragon. Aw, how sad. You set into the cave, and find a door. "Use magic to open the door!" The menu says. This is where I got pissed. I opened the instruction booklet to find out HOW to use magic, and it says you need a ring. Some mystical way, I found a ring. I tried to use magic. Nothing. I once again, consult the instruction booklet. NOWHERE IN THERE DOES IT TELL YOU WHAT BUTTON TO PRESS TO USE MAGIC AFTER OBTAINING A RING. I pressed every button on the controller. EVERY BUTTON. Nothing. The game is over the minute it starts. Psycho's gives this load of crap a -1 out of 10.

"Evergrace"

This is quite the confusing game. The Story: A guy named Darius, and a girl (I forget her name) are flung into an alternate dimension from their own. Illusions keep being thrown into their path, and they must find a way to stop the demons in their path in order to get home.    Evergrace is both fun and confusing, even a little creepy. The fighting of demons is fun, and they keep coming back, so they give you gold, which in my opinion is worth the annoyance. But because of it's confusing nature, I haven't gotten very far at all I don't think. Psycho's gives it a 5 out of 10.

"Fur Fighters"

The story: The fur fighters are animals who live happily in their village. They are the most deadly of fighters and assassins, and will stop at nothing to see the world at peace. Though, when attacked by General Viggo, and their families kidnapped, the 8 remaining fur fighters must set on an adventure to save their families, stop Viggo, and blow the ever living crap out of other stuffed animals. Fur Fighters control system is f*ed up. Too confusing, in the beginning. And when you kill enemies, stuffing flies out, as if they were actually stuffed animals. And they are! Fun for a few hours, and it's certainly good to pass the time, but it's not something I would like to spend my time playing. Psycho's gives it a 7 out of 10.

"Yanya Caballista: City Skater"

There's one thing about this game. You either love it, or you hate it. The fact is, it's so incredibly lame that it's awesome. Sort of an oxymoron there. Let me elaborate. The story: Aliens attack. They look like marshmallows. But they're actually ghosts. The only way to defeat them is by doing massively cool skateboard tricks! Thus our heroes, Jet and Max take off on an adventure to skate their way around the place, and defeat the aliens. Finding friends along the way. Again, it's so lame, yet so awesome. 8 out of 10.
