GamesFirst
"From one end of the world you might be able to see a mountain top, and after five hours of play you might be on that mountain top looking back to your original position. Never before has a world been so complete, so connected, and so full. Jak and Daxter: The Precursor Legacy is sure to be a game that makes you glad to own a PS2 or makes you go get one, because this game finally makes the PS2 worth owning." Preview by Sarah Wichlacz with screen shots.

TechTV
"The camera is sometimes unwieldy, and for some bizarre reason can only be rotated around Jak, not moved vertically, though there is a first-person view that lets you look around. Beyond that, however, Jak and Daxter is an excellent example of a 3D platformer." Review by Jason D'Aprile with screen shots. <small>(January 9, 2002)</small>

PlanetPS2
"The nonexistent load times, unlimited draw distance, and non-linear level design go far to establish Jak and Daxter as a classic, but there could have been more innovation to cement its position." Review by Barak Tutterrow with screen shots. <small>(December 10, 2001)</small>
