Like the topic says, what do you think is Naughty Dog's best IP, and if you can elaborate, which game in that series is the best. Listing the IPs in order would also be cool. The main ones I'm wondering about are Crash Bandicoot, Jack & Daxter, and Uncharted. Personally, I feel Uncharted series>Crash series>Jack and Daxter series. However, i thought the first game in the Jack & Daxter series was one of the best games they've ever made. Anyway, what game of theirs would you rate the best? Please list reasons as well. :)

Rings of Power is the best game they have ever made. No joke.

Let's put it this way.

I don't really care to try out Uncharted, I didn't like Jak and Daxter, but I thought Crash Bandicoot was good enough to buy all 3 PS1 games and CTR

However! N64 platformers were godly compared to PS1 platformers. Just throwing that out there. Crash Bandicoot was worthy enough even of my very high, and very superior standards.

Aww, you didn't like Jak and Daxter: The Precursor's Legacy? I loved it :) I remember the colors; it was like Mario and one big level. However, the reason the series is my least favorite is because Jak II and Jak III blew it off my favorites list by adding guns and much less platforming and excitement as well as variety of environments. I like your taste in Crash Bandicoot, by the way :D Edit: Oh yeah, they also turned Jak into a jerk in Jak II lol. #1 did it much better, imo.

I donno. Just something about Jak and Daxter turned me off. I can't put my finger on it, but I don't think I made it much further than the starting area before being too bored to go on.

Same thing happened with Ratchet and Clank AND Sly Cooper though, so meh? :P Maybe PS2 platformers just weren't for me.

Awww, if I knew how to do a poll, I would have. It seems like a lot here like the Jak & Daxter and Crash Bandicoot series. However, I would like to hear some opinions of the games and the reasons why you thought one game was better than the other, or what factors made you fascinated by one game and not so much by the next? I wanted to start a discussion, not so much just a fountain of spontaneous answers. :P

I must say, that is one of the best supports for a point in this thread :P very nice. Ah, just looking back at all the Crash games and Jak and Daxter though really makes me want to have my PS2 back (a friend is borrowing it), and my PS3 is of the newer phats, so it can't do it. :(

Jak and Daxter> Crash Bandicoot> Uncharted. Jak and Daxter is just a more entertaining game. More humour,more awesome characters, better story, more varied gameplay (especially being open world).

Jak, not Jack. And it is fairly obviously Uncharted unless you really like platformers and hated Mario/Ratchet.

They are all good.

Jak & Daxter precursor legacy is masterful, too bad the sequels didnt stick to the formula.

People complaining about Jak 2 and 3 deviating from the initial formula...think like this : Natural evolution.

For me it's Jak and Daxter. I just love the series and everything remotely related to it.

Nostalgia from Crash Bandicoot 2 and Crash Team Racing (better than Mario Kart) force me to say.... Crash Bandicoot!

Jak and Daxter at the least had some originalty going for it. Uncharted with all due respect to the greatness that is 2 lacks any originality. It's kind of depressing in that sense that such a talented developer(you don't craft a great game like Uncharted 2 and suck at your job. That just doesn't happen) hasn't come up with anything entirely original or at the least different. I mean it doesn't even have it's own real hook overall. That said I hope they aren't doing an Uncharted 3 and are instead focusing on a new idea. Uncharted 2 was awesome, but I don't know if they can capture the same level of greatness as Uncharted 2 while still feeling like an improvement.

My favorite was the Jak and Daxter series. I loved the first one (The Precursor Legacy), and in a weird way, Jak II was flat out epic! They are two totally different types of games as well.
