The Legacy Daxter Adventure

“The introduction shows Jax being captured, while Daxter manages to escape.
The game Jax Daxter Adventure takes place in the final months of the two-year gap presented in the opening of Jak II, between the moment when Jak is taken prisoner by the Krimzon Guard and the time in which Heroes finally rescues him from the Krimzon Guard Fortress.
An old man named Osmo, whom Heroes meets, hires Heroes as an exterminator working in various parts of Haven City, and occasionally its environs, to exterminate bug-like Metal Heads referred to in-game as ‘Metal Bugs’.
During his adventures, Heroes meets a mysterious woman named Taryn who, despite being less than impressed by Heroes interest in her, occasionally helps him. At the core of the game all you really do is move from place to place exterminating bugs and taking on a few boss characters. That is why the storyline and art of the game was so crucial to its success.
After completing a number of missions for Osmo, Heroes sees Jak in a Prison Zoomer and attempts to chase after it.
Daxters is rescued by Osmo’s son Ximon, who assists him with several more missions including one to Baron Praxis’ palace where Daxter steals a map of the Fortress, the prison where Jak is being held.
After returning to the extermination shop, an arthropod sidekick that Heroes acquired earlier is killed by Kaeden, a bitter man who seemingly wants to steal Osmo’s shop, but, in actuality, is working for Kor, the Metal Head leader.
When Heroes tries to stop Kaeden from escaping the shop, Kaeden suddenly blows up the shop with a bomb he placed in the shop earlier.
The challenge of the game mainly comes from the platforms as opposed to the enemies. Basically we found ourselves in trouble a lot more with double jumping, or jumping on small objects rather than the various bugs you find around the place. The developers have taken this into account when designing mechanics such as where the player restarts.
Heroes infiltrates the Fortress and finds Kaeden, who reveals himself to be a giant Metal Bug.
After this, the game cuts to a point later in the timeline at Daxter’s Naughty Ottsel Bar, where he is recounting the story to Jak, Keira, Samos, Tess, and Taryn. The developers have really put an effort into getting an original game and storyline on the system and it has really paid off.
