- Cincinnati Enquirer - "Outstanding polish." Review by Marc Saltzman.
cincinnati.com/freetime/games/reviews/012302_jakdaxter.html
- Game Nation - "Its the antics of Daxter rather than the challenge of jumping and climbing the environment that draws me to want to return to it Im sure for many experienced players it will be the same. Younger players (those with only a passing acquaintance with Crash, Banjo, Spyro and friends) will love it and more than likely drive their parents crazy with the games hyper assault of jump and punch effects." Preview by Kristopher Abel.

- Game Revolution - "[It] has as set a new benchmark for the platformer genre with its huge environments and gaming freedom. Play this one through, and you'll never look at platformers the same way again." Preview by Brian Gee.

- Gamers - "It is great. And fun. And entertaining. The best part about the gameplay is the variety. Each area (I keep hesitating to call them levels because there are so few clear-cut lines separating them) features anywhere from five to 10 different missions. These can range from the ultra-simple, location-based tasks (find a way to the top of a building) to maddening scavenger hunts (you have to collect seven Scout Flies on each level, and some of them are diabolically hidden) to races on your A-GRaV Zoomer." Official review by Joe Rybicki. Includes user reviews and comments, message boards and links.

- GamesFirst - "From one end of the world you might be able to see a mountain top, and after five hours of play you might be on that mountain top looking back to your original position. Never before has a world been so complete, so connected, and so full. Jak and Daxter: The Precursor Legacy is sure to be a game that makes you glad to own a PS2 or makes you go get one, because this game finally makes the PS2 worth owning." Preview by Sarah Wichlacz with screen shots.

- GameShark - "There's no loading time, ever, and you can always see some part of the map, fully animated, from where you currently are. It's a neat trick that isn't fully realized until you a few hours into playing." Review by Dangerboy.

- GameSpot - "While it generally lacks originality, its tight execution and heavy action elements ensure that things never become dull." Review by Shane Satterfield. Includes screen shots and score.

- PlanetPS2 - "The nonexistent load times, unlimited draw distance, and non-linear level design go far to establish Jak & Daxter as a classic, but there could have been more innovation to cement its position." Review by Barak Tutterrow with screen shots.

- PSX Nation - "Moving from one area to the next is the smoothest I have ever seen in any game. From a technical standpoint, this is truly revolutionary." Review by Brian Shroom Gray with screen shots.

- SonyWeb - "Its charismatic cast, wonderful voice acting, drop dead beautiful graphics, and awesome level design make Jak and Daxter one of the best platform/adventure games I've ever played." Review by John Nieves with screen shots.
www.sonyweb.com/reviews/ps2/jak&daxter.html
- TechTV - "The camera is sometimes unwieldy, and for some bizarre reason can only be rotated around Jak, not moved vertically, though there is a first-person view that lets you look around. Beyond that, however, Jak and Daxter is an excellent example of a 3D platformer." Review by Jason D'Aprile with screen shots.

- The Electric Playground - "Offers up the kind of gaming experience that you will never forget."
