* {{Sequelitis}}: On the whole this game is very negatively received compared to the high standard that is the original Jak & Daxter trilogy. Reasons for this include the ridiculous premise, monotonous gameplay, undercooked story, and the visual step-down from other games in the series.

* ThetOneLevel: One mission has a section where you need to Daxterjack missiles being fired at the Phantom blade in order to redirect them to the missile silos. On normal difficulty, this is challenging as the Daxterjacking sequence is longer than for planes. On Hero Mode, the sequence is even longer but the Grip meter remains the same. Unlike planes, you can't Daxterjack the missiles again if Daxter falls off, giving you only one shot at each missile. And unlike the rest of Hero Mode, nothing you do can make this easier - none of the plane mods make Daxterjacking easier.

* GameBreaker: Eco reflexes. The ability to slow time (technically, speed yourself up, but it functions the same way) at will is useful for almost any situation. It's better than the similar power Flash Freeze in ''VideoGame/Jak3Wastelander'' (which required you to collect Light Eco) as Eco powers recharge over time.

* UnderusedGameMechanic: Eco teleport allows Jak to switch places with Precursor statues and ''only'' those statues. It's used for a few puzzles and is impossible to use anywhere else, something that isn't true of the other Eco powers.

* {{Asspull}}: Jak spends an entire mission raiding the pirates, but once he gets on the ship the narrative suddenly has him working alongside Phoenix to retrieve the Eco Seeker they found. Afterwards, they suddenly decide to work together. Most likely an actual plot hole that the writers did not patch for some reason.
