Daxter is an early PSP tech demo disguised as a mediocre platformer.
I first played this game in 2006 and dropped it shortly after. It wasn't until recently that I made the commitment to finish this game, because for some reason it always bothered me that I had left it unfinished.
Everything in this game feels like it takes too long. This includes traversing large empty levels and various mini-games that you have to complete in order to progress.
Platforming sections are no fun either, due to clunky and unpredictable controls. Combat wears thin early on, as you'll be fighting the same looking bugs over and over again. Once you get the flamethrower attachment, you'll be using it for the rest of the game.
I think they've pushed the PSP a little too hard, as it struggles to maintain a consistent framerate at its default clocks. Be sure to overclock your PSP to 333 Mhz for a more consistent experience.
