Jak and his obnoxious talking animal.
I ended up flipping a coin to decide between Final Fantasy XII and Jak 3.
So wait, I spent all of last game trying to save these idiots, and now they're banishing me. Who is this guy, anyway? Why does he hate me? Life's mysteries...
Does the monkey-bird have to come? I mean, no offense Pecker. Aren't you supposed to be interpreting for Onin, though?
Yay, I get a beacon-thing.
FLASHBACK OF EXPOSITION, WHEE~
And now we all die. And it's not my fault. Ha!
. . . city go boom. That's annoying.
People have found me! And now I can actually start the game! Hello, title screen. I hope you appreciate all the files I had to delete to make room for you, Jak. What I really need is a new memory card.
Damas and Spargus?
Dude, guys, we're alive. I'm not gonna argue with that too much right now. We'll probably fix that soon enough, anyway, though. Arenas are fun. For other people.
Oh, God, I don't like the look of the area. Is that lava? Why is it always lava? I hate lava!
(ha! "Jak and his obnoxious talking animal"? I laugh!)
THEY ARE RIGHT! I WILL MOST LIKELY DIE! :D Hooray.
(It's not pessimism if it's true, okay?)
Collecting things. I can collect things! I am even rather good at that. My inventory in most every game ever will attest to this. On with the crazy lava-filled arena, then.
That wasn't a challenge. That was a review. Anyone can make a few jumps! Even I land my jumps 75% of the time!
Dax, we spent all of last game running from and fighting actual people with actual weapons who actually wanted to hurt us. Not new. DUDE, YOU CANNOT SWITCH SHOULDERS.
Oh hey the floor fills with lava.
Man, I hate this gun.
Why did I just change? I didn't tell him to change, did I? Wait, which trigger was it? gah.
... oh. Well, apparently it's automatic, then? AUGH! That or my controller is flaking out.
STAY NORMAL, JAK. GRAH! Maybe it's just some weird plot-thing right now. After all, gotta show these people I'm Crazy Dark-Eco Person.
Where did that person I just saw a moment ago get off to? ooh, foreshadowing. Or something.
Okay, yellow gun again.
How do I get out of this Arena of Death?
Ah. Exit.
Kleiver?
...aw, Leaper Lizard! How cute!
HAHAHA! I REALLY, REALLY DO NOT LOVE HOW HE SAYS HE'LL LET US DRIVE ONE OF HIS RACING VEHICLES LIKE IT'S SOME SORT OF REWARD.
OH, GOD, KEEP THEM AWAY.
Well, back to running civilians down in my frantic chasings. At least the lizard isn't going to blow up under me!
...er, right? They don't, right?!
Ah. It's the person from before?
Machine thing. IT LIKES MY DARK ECO-NESS. ...Dude, what is this? Button... pushy...? thingy. Blearg?
Haa, Orange Lightning?
Darn. These people are way less fun to somersault over than the Guards back in Haven. How boring.
Jak, you don't want one of these. You don't want any of these. No, not even the "Tough Puppy" he is offering you. And I am going to call it a buggy from now on.
WHAT. NO. NO RACES.
... Jak, you're betting Daxter - DAXTER - against a vehicle.
WITH ME DRIVING.
YOU IDIOT!
By, "If there's one thing I can do, it's race," I'm assuming you mean LOSE RACES. Or possibly blow up spectacularly while racing.
This is the worst idea ever and I hate it.
I just got stuck on a rock wall.
I do not know how.
I never, ever thought I would say this. I want my Zoomer back.
I keep getting lost after the cave. How am I getting lost on a racetrack?
Haa, the other drivers can't steer, either. We all just had a traffic pile-up maybe eight feet out of the starting line. Brilliant.
...whoo! I didn't lose once! I did get lost 6 times and fail because of that, but, well, let's not get technical. And, hey. Mine may not be very big or tough, but it is definitely the fastest, and that counts for something!
Also, all the speeding around last game apparently did me some good, as my evasive maneuvers are half-decent, and I was able to take first place shortly out of the starting gate each time because of them.
And now Damas is pitting me against storms. You just don't like me, do you?
Hey! No one mentioned other people out here trying to murder me! Dude! Don't you guys have other things to worry about than trying to blow me up?!
Hey, Mar's coming up again. Who is this guy, and why should I know him? Because I obviously should.
Seem's grumpy.
Bwaha! The Leaper is trying to eat Daxter. XD
More racing. More racing? Why does this keep happening? Why am I even doing this?
Oh. Light Eco Crystal. And yadda, yadda, approaching death. Yes.
And back to Kleiver. I would say, oh, yay, finally something that isn't racing, but his crack about Metal Heads worries me. What if they are big and huge like the ... big and huge ones from the end of the previous game?
And I have to use a buggy, anyway. Grah. New one, though. Sand Shark.
Woooah. Wasteland Metal Heads hit you, you fly.
So I took the first two head on - quite literally - and took plenty of health off my buggy. I played sniper with the third, and it took about the same amount of time but cost me no health.
And I keep accidentally going backwards.
Why can I not have their shiny-glowy head plates? *sorrow*
Woah. Metal Heads are being controlled. Uh. We knew him, didn't we?
And now we go back to the Arena? To die? Yep. Good guess, self.not really Yay, gun upgrade.
Looks like Damas has one of those Precursor-things from the first game behind his throne? I can't seem to get a good look at it, but it sure seems to be. hrm. Maybe not. They're similar, though.
(Okay, nothing against Damas, but... "purity of the arena"? That's kind of creepy.)
Daxter is glad he is not my stunt double. And I must've just said something loudly because the cat woke up rather startled and stared at me.
I just bounced across lava. Lava doesn't work like that.
Dude, Damas, what the heck is up with you? "Hey, you're, uh. Awesome and stuff. Um. Proud. Y-yeah, that's it. *awwkwaarrd*"
Kleiver still hates me for whatever reason. No, you still cannot eat Daxter.
Blah, blah, blah father.
Jak: *angst-fit*
Damas: *angst-fit*? It was a weird reaction on his part, is all. Something weird's up with him. Or maybe he just doesn't hate me and I no longer remember how people who do not hate me act. Because everyone hates Jak. 'Cause he's a freak.
Augh, Leapers too fast. Also too feeble. Zoom. o_O;
STOP GIVING ME VEHICLES.
Aha! But this one jumps! Awesome! Unfortunately, this probably means I'm going to need a jumping buggy.
... Sometimes I really hate it when I am right.
I am really sick of being shot at. Guys, hey, I am going to kill you all now.
Heh. I just tricked two of the Enemy Buggies into blowing each other up.
Okay! So! Where the heck am I? The map says, rather unhelpfully, "Temple." And I like to think it says something - mostly that I am not nearly as terrible at playing these as I was in the first game - that I was able to make it to the top on my first try. Oh, yes, I am not Hopelessly Awful anymore!
Jak is overconfident.
AUGH FLIGHT.
Oh. I need to shoot the closed ones. Good to know.
Made it! Ha ha! Gonna call it a night here.
And what would this be without a death count.
Death List:
Lava: 2
Arena Fighters: 2
Buggy in Water: 5
Falling... forever:

MISSION FAILED:
Buggy Race: 6
