Friends in Hamlet who like to get into mischief, Jak and Daxter sneak out to Misty Island despite the warning given by Samos, a wise but grumpy older man. There, Daxter has an unfortunate accident in which he falls into a pool of Dark Eco, which causes him to transform into a creature resembling a weasel. It is already tricky enough to return Daxter to his natural human shape. Now the Lurkers are using this Dark Eco for their nefarious purposes, which adds to the situation’s complexity. The story progresses in tandem with the gameplay of the game.
To accomplish their missions, our protagonist(s) can leap, double-leap, spin-kick, uppercut, hold onto items, ride various vehicles, and even the occasional beast along the way. You can converse with several and participate in the minigames and side quests they provide.
