KeenGamer: ''I recently replayed a game from my childhood called Jak 2: Renegade. Many years have passed since its initial 2002 release and I wanted to see if I remembered it as fondly as I did as a child. Here are some of my thoughts on one what I believe to be one of the best games of the PS2 era.''

Stan at GameSpew: We’ve set out on a journey that is uncharted: to rank the 5 best Naughty Dog games. From The Last of Us to Crash Bandicoot, here's the best of the studio.
A leading Naughty Dog developer has revealed the frustration he felt at some of the gameplay mechanics introduced by the studio's popular PS2 platformer, Jak II: Renegade.
Both me and my sister were turned off by Jak 2. It just felt too different from the first, which remains one of my favorite platformers ever. Never finished it.
There's a reason for the change:

You can't make changes without alienating some of your fanbase. As someone who loved 2 and 3, you are missing out bro. I definitely adored most of the changes and additions introduced. They made he series darker and with more serious storytelling.
Being a big fan of open world 3D platformers, Jak 2 disappointed me, too. 1 and 2 are worlds apart in their design.
and personally, I thought Ratchet and Clank did the action/platformer hybrid thing waaaaaay better than Jak 2.
Jak 2 was one of my most anticipated games ever. I loved the first Jak and Ratchet was my favorite series. Ugh, hated Jak 2 though. My son played it for the first time the other day and he couldn't believe it.
