The gunplay is great and while Haven City is mostly void of distractions, driving around does have a certain charm to it. But GOD the checkpoint system blows.

The first third is great, but the other two thirds add so much shit that just isn’t fun. Even aggravatingly so. And almost every level has very limited numbers of checkpoints, so dying means doing the same shit over and over until you want to strangle a baby. The animations are the highlight. Ever since PS1, Naughty Dog has been the kings of game animation.

Jak 2 was a big part of my childhood and now that I’ve finally conquered it, I can put it to rest.
