As you can see from the user score, a lot of people don't seem to like this game. Mostly due to the bad PC port (which they have since fixed) and the graphics (they wanted to create a game that could run on 2gb cards so everyone could play). I'm here to tell you that the game isn't that bad. It's not a game I'd call "legendary" by any means, but it's not another Ride to Hell: Retribution like everyone is calling it. -Graphics and port job- I will admit, at release, this game ran like a slideshow on high end pc's. Now after NUMEROUS patches, the game runs flawlessly. I always ran above 60+ fps maxed out 1080p on a lower end pc (AMD FX-6300 and Radeon 7970). They clearly took the time to fix their mistakes and create a good running game now. -Story- The story is... ok at best. It's another one of those "robots kill humans" and "terrorist" plots that you see every other game. It's not really worth the play if you want to play campaign. It's clear that the focus was on the other gamemodes and NOT the story. One thing that I do like is the fact that it is multiplayer. If you want, you can go through the whole campaign with your friends. It'll get a few laughs out of you and your friends playing, even if it is cheesy. -Zombies- One. Map. ONE. MAP. Seriously, GimmieMoneyArch? Yup. There's only one map. Unless you buy the $50 season pass to fuel their Lamborghinis as they swim in money, you only get one map. The season pass isn't even that good right now, it just comes with The Giant from World at War with some updated graphics. Lazy. They did make a lot of changes to the gamemode though. It's a lot for someone who just touched zombies previously to have all of this information shoved in their face at once. It's quite a bit to absorb. Nonetheless, it's fun and got a few hours out of me, but it's nothing to throw $60 at for. -Nightmare mode- This was a lazy attempt for people to play the campaign again, but with zombies thrown in. They don't even change the cutscenes! They just mute the audio from them and slap a narration bit up! It's so lazy to see that they did this. When the game said "zombie campaign", I expected a whole campaign about zombies taking over the world and complex character development (like The Walking Dead or other zombie stories), but I got WAY to ahead of myself. It's also boring and repetitive to just kill nothing but the same zombie over levels you already played. -Multiplayer- This was where the game shines. The shining crown. I put over 200+ hours into this game after about a month of playing. It's a TON of fun and probably the only reason I bought this game. There are now classes or "specialists" as the game calls them, that now diversify play a bit. Each specialist can choose 2 abilities to use that can give them either a weapon or a small advantage for a short period. The classes don't have any personality though. All of them are serious and not funny. Nothing like Team Fortress 2, where each class had a different fun personality. It would've been nice to give the characters some kind of personality besides "Nomad, KIA" and "Ruin, KIA". They had so much potential to put tons of funny character quotes or quips that would've made me remember the characters apart from what they occasionally do every 2 minutes. As for balance of weapons, they need to fix them. Some of the weapons are straight up overpowered. The P-06, Sheiva, pretty much all smgs, Haymaker, and the Brecci, just to name a few. There are only 12 maps (not including the Nuketown for pre-orders only). Most of them are good and have a lot of ramps and walls for jetpacks. Also, I noticed a lot less camping by allowing almost every part of the map to have 2 entrances to eliminate camping. Sure there were still campers, but rarely any. Speaking of the jetpack, it's a really nice feature I'm glad they carried over from Advanced Warfare. I didn't play AW, but from what I've seen and heard from others, it was nice to have a lot more mobility so combat is a lot more diverse. -Final verdict- I kept playing. I don't know why, but despite all of these flaws, I kept playing. I put over 200+ hours in alone and that for me is enough to justify a $60 purchase.

I love Jak and Daxter. It's probably my favorite game series of all time. I'm going to review the port itself, NOT the games. The games are fantastic. I'm sure most of you reading this know that, but this review is solely on the port. This port is horrendous. I seriously had a better framerate drawing the frames on paper than playing this. From the title screen, THE TITLE SCREEN, I got frame drops. It dropped to less than 10 fps on the title. That's bad news. From the starting mission of the first game, I got about 15 frames average. That is unplayable. For anyone that wants to play these games, get them on the amazing PS3 collection or even the classic PS2 games. Just don't bother giving them money for this port.

This game WAS good. The keyword being WAS. Back then, it was a really amazing game with stellar graphics, but today they look like polygonal versions of puke. Back then, it had revolutionary controls, now it's about as controllable as a wolverine with rabies. Back then, it had amazing multiplayer that was very competitive, but now you have to use a PC mod for HL2 to make sure your buddies don't screen-cheat on a 20 inch TV. Back then, it was difficult and challenging to beat some of the levels, at least THAT hasn't changed. Back then, I would have given this game a better score, but now it just can't hold up. Basically, I'm saying that this game WAS good. It has a lot of things wrong with it. Fortunately though, it's still a good game. It has a lot of good things for the time. I give this game a 7 for the sakes of nostalgia.

I have always been a fan of the Grand Theft Auto series and this is a good addition. Unfortunately, it lacks in some parts. For instance, Grand Theft Auto IV had amazing and realistic car physics. GTA V on the other hand downgrades them. That's right, one of the biggest things in a Grand Theft Auto game, was ruined in this game. My second point is that the single player is a bit lacking. The characters are not relatable or interesting, the loading times on switching characters takes WAY too long, the story is short, the single player gets boring after you complete the short story, and the story isn't even that great! The final reason this gets an 8 instead of a 10 is the online portion. In the past, it was just free roam, but with other people. Now, it's an unbalanced online RPG. I join a game with 5 people in it 100 levels a head of me. This makes the online portion unfair. New players are greeted with a singular semi-auto pistol and a crappy sports car; and they have to go up against a guy wearing nothing but underwear and a pig mask who also happen to have 3 miniguns shoved up their arse, an infinite supply of the most expensive sports cars in the game, a money supply that could buy the country of Germany, and the worst of all, sticky bombs. The online portion is just completely unbalanced, especially the newer players. Those reasons and probably more to come are why this game gets an 8 out of 10.

This game is bad. It has graphics that belong on the N64, the levels are bad (except for the swamp level, that one is kind of good with it's atmosphere), it's characters are just horrendous, the enemies are copy paste, the game usually has no idea what the f*** is going on, *cough*cow in the mushroom level*cough*, the camera is bad, and the music... is actually pretty good. It's a shame that such a good soundtrack got wasted on this garbage. The only reason you should EVER consider buying this game from the local truck stop bargain bin from 2002, is for the soundtrack.
