Daxter

From Sony Computer Entertainment


Daxter gives the co-star of the popular Jak & Daxter games his own adventure! Play from his animal perspective, chronicling his back-story during the two years spent alone in Haven City. As Daxter is an ottsel and not a human, players will have a unique moveset with agile abilities, as Daxter can crawl on all fours, fit in small places and maneuver vehicles. You'll need all those abilities to get through this unique platformer!

This game is the platformer by which other PSP platformers should be judged. I believe that handheld games should be easy to pick up for a few minutes and then put down. It seems like so many PSP games are simply PS2 games for the small screen, but I generally don't play my PSP for hours at a time. Anyway, the game is generally fun and intuitive but some portions seem based more on memorization than they should be.

Daxter is a great game to keep the kids occupied, but offers little in the way of adult entertainment.
