8. Jak 2
Jak and Daxter was one of my favourite games in my youth, but sweet lady time doesn't care about your beloved childhood memories. She smashes them into a million insignificant little pieces and sweeps them into the bin; and in this simile, the bin is adulthood. Anywho, what Jak 2 decided to do was throw away the colourful effervescent island of the first, in favour of a brown city with driving controls straight out of Satan's arse. Plus Jak can now speak! And he sounds like a bloody angsty teenager acting brooding and deep. Besides, he's completely lost the silence hero motif that allowed Daxter to take the piss throughout the game. Anyway, the game is nothing but fetch quests, climbing some arbitrary structure in some rancid puke green swamp, then returning to the city for some truly horrible dialogue. Jak also has the power to turn into Dark Link, but who cares? This game reeks of poor level design, stupid set pieces, uninteresting characters talking in ridiculous fashion about events that I couldn't possibly care any less about.
