why does everyone rate Daxter so much?
The game was as generic as they come.
It even had bosses with weak spots for massive damage.

I liked daxter. I didn't think it was revoutionary or anything but it was good fun. I don't really see the problem with bosses like that... I hate boss battles, so something I can defeat in a few goes after spotting a pattern is fine by me.

contrary to popular belief not all bosses have weak spots to hit for massive damage. My boss gave me the sack when i hit him.

Sometimes they have fake weak spots - maybe you got fooled? The belly is usually one of those.

In my experience the boss' weakspot invariably turns out to be the much younger secretary...

Wasn't the purpose of Daxter, the reason of it being a Jak and Daxter game specifically designed with the PSP from day one?

I have no qualms for a fun PSP platformer without all the usual PS2 ported problems of Camera Angles and and framerate problems.

The world needs more Daxter and GTA:LCS.

Ah, so that's why my wife calls my cock 'Daxter'.

Hey, if it's by a company that related to Naughty Dog, then a new crash game would be great, just like the good old PS1 days...

Well, Monsieur BadBoy is certainly a good self-promoter, that slagging off he gave to... pretty much every PSP Dev has got them running to buy his engine. VROOM VROOM!

Because it was a fun game.

"The game was as generic as they come."

So are a lot of great games, doesn't make them less fun.

I agree... also the closest you'll get to a "classic" 3D platform game these days, which is rare to find.

Daxter was ace even though it was at a times a try-and-die-try-and-die affair. The reason? You die, you restart. Right away. Bingo! A Game.

Alternatively - Tomb Raider try-die -waitforfortysecondswhileweloadthelevelagain-try-die... Um Bongo! An exercise in mustnotbiteoffownfingersagain self control.

Ready At Dawn are doing the PSP owners a massive service by licencing this tech.

Love them ...go on!

Daxter was a brilliant, fun game. I can't wait to see what Ready At Dawn release next. It's great news they're letting other devs use this engine.

Daxter,one of the platformer games atm on psp..and could quite possibly be one of the best on psp in general.Shooting games i find dont quite work out so efficiently on psp as they do on the ps2.
