Our goal was to introduce a seamlessly integrated style of play that gave players a choice in how they wanted to interact with the game," said Jason Rubin, co-founder of Naughty Dog. "We are extremely proud of the outcome and believe Jak II truly brings modern gameplay and universe ideas together with classic playability - a magical combination."

"Changing the face of character action gaming as we know it, Jak II delivers a deep, compelling storyline full of twists and turns, more than 90 minutes of cinematic movies, perilous exploration and challenging gameplay. Jak II is the perfect choice for any gamer looking for a fun and immersive adventure."
