#17: Jak and Daxter: The Precursor Legacy


Year: 2001
Why It's Great: Jak II was arguably more fun (cue guns and vehicles), but the foundation of the excellent Jak and Daxter series was built on the Precursor Legacy. Naughty Dog — the studio behind Crash Bandicoot — launched its first free-roaming 3D action game with Jak and Daxter, and the game's stellar graphics and fun platforming gameplay set the stage for an excellent trilogy. Alongside Ratchet & Clank, Jak and Daxter is one of the best original series for the PS2.
