Jak and Daxter on the PS2- A Review from a Nobody With a Look back at 55 Other PS2 Games from 2001

This is my review for Jak and Daxter for the PS2 with a look back at fifty-five PS2 games released that year. NOTE: I used the GameFaqs release dates for this video, so if some of the release dates are a little off in this video, that's why. Generally, GameFaqs is a solid source for information, and I trust their information more than even Wikipedia.
