The Good: "This is quite possibly the best looking game on the PSP!" is what I said after booting up Daxter. The graphics and animations a simply amazing! Each character looks extremly smooth, the backgrounds along with the lighting are breathtaking. Once again I could not believe I was playing a handheld! The sound is not to shabby either, I mean this is how to keep a gamer entertained. The voice acting is funny, brilliant and flawless. The music is subtle yet it gave enough to feel the action. Many people were worried about the camera due to the fact that the PSP has not had a game that did it right. Fret no more, Daxter has set the standard. The controls are smoothly responsive and there are a ton of collectibles that open up very cool mini games (which are a blast!). Buy this game now!

The Bad: There are some disadvantages to having great graphics: slow down and glitches. It didn't happen a lot but my game did freeze after a boss fight, which was very frustrating. I also experianced some slow down during platforming which caused me to fall into pits (luckily you sometimes respawn in good spots; sometimes). I found the in game mini games a little frustrating because if you make a slight mistake you'll have to start over. Keep in mind that all these gripes are minor and don't hamper the gameplay that much.

The Ugly: The bugs you go after get a bit redundant and the story could have been better.

Final: It's been a great month for the PSP and Daxter is definitly one of it's top ten (er, maybe top five). Anyone who enjoys platformers should no doubt pick this one up!
