The first game of a Legacy...

This is the first game in the Jak and Daxter series by NaughtyDog, the creators of Crash Bandicoot. The charachters are Jak, the yellow-and-green haired mute that is the main charachter, Daxter, the ottsel-turned elf/human/whatever-they-are that accompanies Jak,Samos Hagai, the green sage that is highly annoyed by the two, ( Daxter more than Jak,) Keira, Samos's daughter who can build anything and likes Jak more than Daxter, And, of corse, Gol and Maia, the two Dark Eco sages bent on world destruction. There are also many, many more NPC's that can give you the things you need to finish the game.

In the beginning, Daxter (human/elf/whatever-they-are. I'm going with Elf.) and Jak are on a calming boat trip to Misty Island while Samos goes "Blah-blah-blah" in the background. (He's actually a prety nice guy in the next games...) Jak and Dax spy on the Lurkers, and Dax keeps telling Jak 'Oh, why are we here?' and all that. Jak picks up something Dax trips over, and activates it. (His face sez '???????')

Did I mention that they were right on the rim of a huge thing of Dark Eco?

A Lurker who put 2 and 2 together comes to meet the elven duo. Dax panics, and Jak tosses (throws with force) the precursor artifact, and the Lurker goes up in smoke. Jak is hit by the kickback, and hits Dax, who falls into the dark eco. Jak looks over the edge, and is sure that his freind is finished.

He almost gets nailed by a speedng ottsel.

"Ouch!" That stung," it sez. "I told you we shouldn'ta come here, and if you'd listened..." The ottsel looks strangely at Jak, who is staring at him. "Whaaat?" Jak continues to stare, the ottsel looks at his hand, and then starts having a little ottsely painc attack, 'cos he's really Daxter!
-------------------------------
OBJECTIVES
The first main point of the game is to find the person who can turn Dax back, Gol. (Yes, the guy who's trying to kill them!) The second main point is to defeat Gol and Maia, the dark eco sages who want to either:

A: Rule the world, or
B: destroy it.

Either way, Jak's gotta stop them 'cos Daxter sure won't, and they wanna live to see Jak II.

ITEMS

Power Cells are a must-have to get to the 100% checkpoint (101 in all) and get from place to place in the game, like you have to get 20 to get past Fire Canyon, 46 to move the boulder from in front of Klaww's lair, and 75 to get past the Lava Tube.
There are three ways to get Power Cells.

#1: Buy it from an NPC for 90 Precursor orbs
#2: Buy it from an Oracle (Who will give predictions about games 2 and 3) for 120 Precursor Orbs
#3: Complete any mission for a NPC

Precursor Orbs are a type of currency in Jak's world. They are found everywhere, and can get you Power Cells if the price is right.

POWERS

Green Eco can replnish your health if you are hit.

Blue Eco can let you run faster and activate special Precursor artifacts.

Yellow Eco lets you shoot at far-ranged enemies from far away.

Red Eco increases the power of your attacks.

VEHICLES

Keira's a-graV Zoomer can get you places that you couldn't traverse on foot.

The Flut-flut can be a useful mode of transportation in swamps and ice.
