Holy crap, I just finished playing a few more hours of the game, and I've seen some AMAZING levels, hot damn. And the city just keeps getting bigger, it is by far the biggest, most detailed city I've ever seen in a video game, its just so damn huge!

I am soo tired, and I have to work at 6:30 am tomorrow.. But I think I am going to play an hour or two of this game tonight, lol... It's just too good!

And holy... I had a crazy hovercraft jacking experience... I was like hopping from craft to craft... and then I was speeding, and i hopped onto a craft that was going the opposite direction!!! It was spectacular.

Jesus Christ, this game gets extremely hard. I went to the port on whim to check out some item there, and after I pick it up, the entire military comes after me, now I have to escape the port without dying, which is so unbelievably impossible, its pissing me the hell off.

I'm 2 and a half hours in, and I think the game is GREAT! Driving around the city (which was one of the few complaints amongst most reviewers) is a lot of fun IMO...swirving left and right, but more importantly (and more fun) hovering up and down. But the game really shines when you're controlling Jak. Control is spot on...fluid, responsive. The level design has been great so far...I love the variety of moves you need to use...and I only have one weapon upgrade, one Dark Jak upgrade and no hoverboard. Timing and positioning in jumps is crucial...which has always been the key in platform games...so this game, although straying into completely new genres from a typical platform game, remains one in structure.

Difficulty has been ok so far...but I hear it really really really gets tough. As long as I'm eventually able to beat the game, it's fine by me. Much more rewarding that way.

Looking forward to the rest of the game...looking forward to Ratchet and Clank 2. PS2 is the place for platformers/action games...

My impressions of this game so far are very good. I'm starting to figure my way around the entire city (which is unbelievably massive) and I just can't get over how detailed it is. If you jump into the food stands in the market square with your hoverboard, fruit flies out all over the ground, and if guards are chasing you, they sometimes slip on the fruit. Naughty Dog has outdone themselves, I really can see no flaws in this game, it does everything its suppose to do, and it does it marvelously.

You make a good point. It's really quite amazing how deep this game is...how detailed. And with all of these details, there are very little flaws...

Quite amazing. Good job ND...

UPDATED IMPRESSIONS

I just stopped after the fat guy gave me the GREEN security pass for the stadium area.

OH MY GOD.

The city keeps getting bigger and bigger. It's insane...and the quest for the 3 artifacts for that parrot (he's hilarious btw..."My name...is Pecker"

) was a lot of fun...the falling rocks part was genious.

The game keeps impressing me, even though I have a couple other AAA games on the go (SSX3, Tiger Woods)...simply stunning.

If I had to give the game an early score, it would be in the 9.2-9.5 range...and I don't hand out great scores like that very often.
