** The music in the first three games bears a very surprising resemblance to VideoGame/CrashBandicoot. That's because Josh Mancell composed all of the first three games in the series.

** To a lesser degree, the [=PS3=] ports have some issues of their own, like some minor sound and graphics issues, though for the most part, they're still perfectly playable and nowhere near as bad as the Vita versions. Unlike the Vita versions, fans generally like the [=PS3=] ports enough to recommend them to someone who never played the games.[[note]]Although the UsefulNotes/PlayStation4 ports have put that into contention, as while they are ports of the [=PS2=] versions, they only feature minor visual issues and are even more accessible than the [=PS3=] ports simply through age[[/note]]

* SoOkayItsAverage: Seems to be the case with ''Daxter'' on the [[UsefulNotes/PlayStationPortable PSP]] (mostly story-wise, the core platforming and level design are quite solid); it's neither as well-loved as the original trilogy, nor as hated as ''[[VideoGame/JakAndDaxterTheLostFrontier The Lost Frontier]]''. It does fill some {{Plot Hole}}s in the original trilogy, but it's nothing special beyond that.

* GoodBadBugs: The barriers in ''Jak II'' give you an interesting one: until ''you'' get a Security Pass, ''no one'' can get through... including the Krimzon Guard.

to:

* GoodBadBugs: As mentioned in the series' trivia page for TroubledProduction, Naughty Dog got ''very lucky'' with releasing the first game in a stable state, which trickled down across the second and third's developments. As a result, many people have discovered enough glitches and exploits to show that despite their beloved status and tight design, ''Jak and Daxter'' is a game series held together with paper clips and rubber bands.
** ''The Precursor Legacy'' had a super jump glitch called The Rocket Uppercut, where by squeezing Jak under a ledge and performing an uppercut, he can launch himself high above the air, allowing him to skip barriers and level sections.

Evil Is Sexy has been dewicked.


* EvilIsSexy: Razer is all over this. [[spoiler:Rayn seems to be going for BeautyEqualsGoodness, especially in comparison to her father, but turns out to be this.]]
** And in the first game, say what you will about Maia, but unlike her brother, the Dark Eco didn't seem to do anything negative to her body...

* FanonDiscontinuity: Fans tend to ignore the characters' canon ages, largely becuse everyone looks way older than what they've meant to be, and this also avoids some gross implications such as Keira's sexualization (She's ''14'' in the first game, and only turns 18 in Jak X) and the ShipTease that 22-year old Ashelin had with 17-year old Jak in ''Renegade''. Jak is usually considered to be 18 in ''TPL'', and 24 in ''Jak X'' and Keira, like in canon, is 1 year younger than him.

Added DiffLines:

* FriendlyFandoms: Most especially with ''Franchise/RatchetAndClank'', often regarded as Creator/InsomniacGames' counterpart to the series and both known to promote each other. It is not uncommon for ''Ratchet'' fans to join ''Jak'' fans in wanting a revival of the series. To a lesser extent with ''Franchise/SlyCooper'' (another Sony-published platformer that debuted around the same time ''Jak'' and ''Ratchet'' did), ''VideoGame/CrashBandicoot'' (which was created by most of the same people) and ''Franchise/SpyroTheDragon'' (from the same time as ''Crash'', but sharing more gameplay with it than ''Crash'' does).

Never heard of this trope, so I will comment it out for now


* WhatDoYouMeanItsNotPolitical: Jak II was [[EpilepticTrees claimed]] by some to be a thinly veiled protest against the 2003 invasion of Iraq and the Bush administration ([[FauxSymbolism as supposedly represented by the MetalHead War and Baron Praxis respectively]]), particularly accusations that that they are wars that were fought solely for political and/or economic gain by governments that had illegitimately gained power.[[note]]With Baron Praxis's usurpation of power supposedly paralleling the Presidential election of 2000[[/note]] There is no proof of that Creator/NaughtyDog had any sort of political agenda when they made the game and for that matter had been in development well before the controversies regarding the Iraq War began.
