Jak n Daxter/ Ratchet and Clank are just fun platformers with good cinematic stories. In the case of Ratchet and Clank the cutscenes are freaking hilarious. But Ratchet is also a bad ass as he has tons of weapons and armor. Jak and Daxter also have some funny cutscenes but they mix in alot of vehicular action and they make you roam all over to get from place to play where as Ratchet and Clank pretty much just go from place to place and if you do have to walk around its not very far. Its fun, it makes you laugh, its relatively easy to get through the game. That makes for a good experience for alot of people.

Ok, both games are two of the biggest platformer adventures on the PS2. Lets not forget the legacy of the platforming 3D games- Crash Bandicoot anyone? If you remember Bandicoot, Spryo, and games alike were the GoldenEye to videogames, basically it opened up alot in terms of the future of videogames. That being said, alot of people today are influenced by the gmaers of Spyro and Crash, which in turn makes gamers who don't know about Spyro/Crash interested in the hype around Jak and Ratchet games.

Another point, what if I ask you, what's the big deal with Grand Theft Auto? If your a fan, you'll say, "Are you crazy?" And the truth is, no, I would justtell you that Ihaven't played the game. This is what your doing now with your question, and the answer is simple- its a big deal for a reason- both games are cinematic, entertaining masterpieces.

Bottom Line? Check out Ratchet UYA/Deadlocked/Going Commando or Jak 2/3, I guarantee you won't be dissapointed by the cinematic, dramatic storyline, and the amazing gameplay.

I would also like to add that both games are amazingly great by their own merits. They are good in the field of their genre.

I disagree with GamefreakJason. They didnt create/expand/ or revolutionize platformer games. There were many and far better platformers before it even when they were 2d.

I never said they created or revolutionized platformers. They (Spyro, Crash, etc.) did however expand on it, or as I said, open up the 3Dera of platformers. THe result is Jak and Ratchet games on Ps2. Of course this is just an idea/opinion of mine.

They're just popular platformers. Nothing else.

The Ratchet and Clank series was one of the best series on the PS2. They are fun platformers with lots of shooting. Some puzzle elements also. Pick one or a couple of them up. They are all $20 or less.

both series are some of the best on the ps2, both have a great story, style and both look and sound nice. jak series is one of the best adventure game series ever and R&C is just plain fun. RC 2/3 and jak 2 are the best IMHO.
