 **Jak & Daxter the Precursor Legacy** is one of my favorite games of all time, and one of the first games I probably ever played. For years I believed there weren't any additional Jak games, so imagine my ecstasy when I discovered there were more...and then imagine my disappointment once I realized they were nothing like Precursor Legacy.

 ==== Potential Future ====
-If a continuation of the Jak series were to be done, the ideal would be to split the series into two parallel game ‘lines’. The first would continue on from the Precursor Legacy - building off of the fantastic foundation built there; the second would continue from the Jak sequels. I believe this would be the ideal way of going about it. Obviously, two separate teams should handle this.\\  In fact, the first game is already perfectly primed for this: Call the one continuing from the Precursor Legacy the ‘Precursor Legacy’ series and the ones continuing in the vein of the second game the ‘Jak’ line.

       * An overall look at the Jak series by someone who isn't a very big fan. Although I don't completely agree with him on every point((:fn:>I particularly dislike what he says about the Precursor Legacy.)), I find this video to be one of the better evaluations of the series as a whole, and he lays out it's most serious flaw the best.

-      * A more positive outlook on the Jak series, and far better argued. Like with the above, I don't entirely agree, but find myself agreeing more on the Precursor Legacy front. He does brush aside the series' biggest flaw, while arguing the first game suffered from it.((:fn:>The flaw being the Identity crisis of course. The first game is very clear about what it is, and what it wants to be, and could have been a fantastic foundation for future sequels - which could have perfected the formula. It's the second game onward that suffers from an identity crisis.)) However, it's the only video I've seen that has been able to convincingly claim that Jak 2 is a good follow-up to the Precursor Legacy, despite the serious shift.
