Short clip of when I earned the Platinum Trophy in Jak II on Playstation Vita. Read More...

I saved a predictable trophy (The Collectationator!; where you must "Collect 286 Precursor Orbs.") for last so I could record it on my Galaxy S4.

Let me start off by saying I purchased the collection. In order to get the most value for my money, I intend to platinum all 3 games. Okay, now that that is out of the way...

I didn't find the 1st Jak game all that fantastic. I struggled with the terrible controls and just wasn't impressed overall. I said to myself "self, surely Jak II will be an improvement, right?". WRONG! This game was horrible. It was way harder than the 1st game and they didn't correct any of the camera issues or the control scheme. The fact that :l2: and :r2: were a huge part of the game (Vita does not have these buttons) and the implementation/substitution of the back touch panel was pure shit. I constantly went into first-person view and/or activated my hover board ( :r2:) and activated Dark Jak ( :l2:)... always seemed to be the worst possible time too :mad:

If you liked the Ring races of Jak I then you are in luck... the whole Jak II game has vehicles and a ton of missions revolved around them as well. I, personally, hated them. The world map design of this game was just plain annoying. There are twists and turns everywhere (making the map hard to memorize) and just felt like the developers were saying "F*!k you!" every time I had to drive/fly from one end of the map to the other. Gah!!!!

I found this game very very challenging. I'm not sure if that is because I hated almost every minute of playing it or if it was just a terrible game OR if it was the god awful way they ported it over to the Vita. It seemed like every tiny step I made to further my progress took me 10+ attempts. Just terrible.

Platinum Difficulty: 7/10
Overall Enjoyment: 2/10
