J&D has to be up there for one of the best games ever. It's all be said before buit no load times, no pop up, no slow down and just gorgeous visuals. Excellent controls, simply to learn and great use of the dual shock 2.
It's a little bit at the younger gamers end of the market but the puzzles are great and they really suck you in. You really lose track of time with this one.
Pity other game developers don't have the attention to detail that Naughty Dog does. You can get up high and look at places you've already been to and see things happening. Just amazing!
I can't say enough good things about this game. It makes a great departure from the usual shoot em up, purely linear adventure games.
Loses points for originality ie crash bandicoot but that is more than made up by the gameplay etc etc.
