* PlatformActivatedAbility:
** Eco Construct power can be used at will to attack enemies once it is acquired (for which purpose it can improved by auto-tracking and damage upgrade), but its main purpose is to create paths forwards, which is done by using it over a small spot on ground covered by yellowish-green crystals.
** Eco Rocket Jump power can be used anywhere and upgraded into offensive ability, but using it on spots with yellow flame makes the performed jump much more potent.

Badass Baritone has been disambiguated


* BadassBaritone: Dark Daxter has this.
Is there an issue? Send a MessageReason:
This statement is inaccurate. Dark Daxter is referenced in one of the crossovers. Even then lack of acknowledgement does not make the game non-canon, Daxter (PSP) is also not acknowledged in Battle Royale.


* CanonDiscontinuity: The game appears to be generally ignored during crossovers, with Jak's appearance usually taking after his ''Wastelander'' look. About the only thing that got carried over is Creator/JoshKeaton returning to voice Jak in ''VideoGame/PlayStationAllStarsBattleRoyale'', and even then, it might have simply been easier to hire him.

per How To Create A Work Page, "Things not to include: value judgments (don't say how much they sucked/how awesome it was), critical reception (that's just a specific variant of value judgments), recommendations (don't tell us whether or not we should check it out), and plot spoilers."


However, the majority of the Last Frontier's gameplay departs heavily from previous installments with the introduction of airship gameplay, which has a heavy emphasis on customization and vehicular activities. You have an airship in the form of the Hellcat you start the game with and other ships you gain as the story progresses which you will use to traverse the Brink, access the various hub worlds to upgrade your ship and Jak, complete side quests, and battle Sky Pirates. Each ship is unique in how it can be customized and will require special unlocks to be used to their full potential. Like previous games in the series it received mostly positive reviews, but was a huge Base Breaker with [[TheyChangedItNowItSucks fans]] of the original trilogy and didn't sell as well as previous titles.

The sixth installment in the ''VideoGame/JakAndDaxter'' series developed by High Impact Games and co-developed by Creator/NaughtyDog and the second game in the series to be released to a console outside the UsefulNotes/Playstation2, the UsefulNotes/PlayStationPortable. The first game being ''VideoGame/{{Daxter}}''.

The game is set a short time after the events of ''Jak X'', with Jak and Daxter helping Keira on her quest to finally become an eco sage, like her father Samos. On top of this, the trio are also on a mission to solve the eco [[ApocalypseHow crisis]] that has caused the planet to slowly kill itself due to a sudden shortage in eco making remaining eco unstable. With their sturdy, customizable Hellcat they travel to the [[TheWallAroundTheWorld Brink]] in search of more eco, where they're suddenly attacked by eco pirates led by Captain Phoenix. The confrontation causes the Hellcat to leak fuel forcing them to make a crash landing on a nearby island.

While mostly made by a different developer, the mechanics of the earlier games are still present within some of Lost Frontier's gameplay. Jak's sections are still focused on a mix of linear platforming segments and fast paced gunplay with new unlockable eco powers that add variability to the platforming and combat. Jak's [[SuperpoweredEvilside Dark Form]] from the previous games is no longer present with his abilities instead focused on the four other types of eco introduced in the ''[[VideoGame/JakAndDaxterThePrecursorLegacy The Precursor Legacy]]''. Daxter's sections have changed with the introduction of his own Dark Form, aptly named [[SuperpoweredEvilside Dark Daxter]] where he can fire dark eco energy balls, gains super strength and a vicious cyclone attack.
