==Jak and Daxter: The Misty Island==
I hadn’t made it to the water in time… I had forgotten about the flamethrower guy in this round-about corridor.
Line 46:
The Boat soon came to a stop and I jumped off onto the Dock. Misty Island seemed slightly different from what I remembered. I don’t know exactly what it was, whether it was the colors looking different or an object that wasn’t there before. Though, it seemed as if there was less ‘Mist’ to it. Or… maybe it’s just me thinking too much into it. Though, I am surprised at myself that, despite what’s been happening. I hadn’t turn the game off or even gave the disc a clean yet! That’s curiosity for you. Coaxing you to continue…
As I began to navigate further into the island, that same whimpering noise rung out once more. This time followed by a voice
I decided to head in the left direction, spotting the Sculptor’s Muse. The Muse was the Sculptor’s pet, a golden furry creature, bearing black stripes and spotted patterns upon its body. It had big ears, a big bushy tail and glowed brightly. Should you approach it, it would run away. When I approached it however, it did not run. It stayed in the crouching position; making its little chirpy noises, whilst wagging its tail.
Line 52:
No matter what I did. Jump, kick or punch the Muse. Nothing triggered the cut scene to show the Muse being caught by Jak and Daxter. I sighed softly; this is just starting to seem like constant glitches. Maybe giving the disc a clean would help? I got up out of my chair and walked towards the PS2. Before my finger could even touch the reset button…
…You can guess which side won me over.
Line 58:
I backtracked, returning to were I had come from previously, only now noticing that there were not many Lurkers around. I continued on, jumping across the floating platforms. A whimper escaped from Daxter once more. Only this time he spoke in a nervous tone.
I began to jump across two platforms…
I jumped to another platform which began to crumble, quickly jumping once more to the final platform that sported a big round door.
‘Olde green stuff’ was one of Daxter’s nickname’s for Samos the Green Sage. I paused for a moment to think. Do I dare disobey once more and carry on ahead?
Line 76:
I made Jak head towards a diagonal bridge, which led up to the Dark Eco pool. This was the pool that Daxter, as a human, had fallen into and was turned into a creature known as an ‘Ottsel’. A half Otter, Half Weasel creature. Jak was now getting closer to the pool. The whimpering from Daxter got louder and started to become distorted… just like the Fisherman’s laugh. This distorted whimpering, soon transformed into a low chuckle, still distorted.
There’s that crackling again… I made my way up to the little bridge above the dark eco pool. The screen suddenly went black. What the? Any button I pressed, didn’t work. There was only one option now. Restart the console. Better idea, I ejected the disc, checking for any marks. Apart from a few surface scratches it was fine. I grabbed a cloth and gave it a quick clean anyway, then placed it back into the PS2.
Line 84:
I used the Analog stick to zoom in on Jak. Daxter wasn’t upon his shoulder, yet Jak had a sad, painful expression upon his face… Was this my fault? I moved the camera away from him and took a few more steps forward, triggering the ambush. Even though Daxter was not there, you could still hear him say...
I began kicking and punching the Lurkers, gathering the Red eco to boost my strength. That’s when I noticed something else… the Lurkers kept coming! There was meant to be a limit to this ambush. But, it felt as if it was going on for ages. The Lurkers soon surrounded me and knocked down my health bar in an instant.
I heard Daxter say as the screen went blank. Normally, a cut-scene is triggered when you lose all your health for Daxter to say that. However, my screen was pure black once more. I sighed in slight frustration. What in the hell is going on with my game?! I’ve had it for years and never has it done anything like this before… I got out of my chair to hit the reset button on the PS2.
For Daxter was baring this smug, creepy smile. No show of his teeth, just a closed mouth smile. As for his eyes, you know that white part of your eye called the ‘Sclerotic’? Daxters was covered in veins, as if blood shot. The blood wasn’t red… it was yellow. As if the blood itself was infected. It took me some time to turn the camera away from them. But, those eyes remained in my mind. I tried to shake the thought off.
Line 100:
I then gripped the controller tightly within my hands. I should’ve listened. I need to get the boys off Misty Island… Now. I began making my way to the other door, which was on the other side of the arena. There were no lurkers around. But, the mist on the island looked much thicker than before. I kept going, arriving at the Lurker boat. Breaking a few crates to get green eco and regain some health.
Daxter was speaking to Jak once more it seemed, only… his tone of voice sounded smug or perhaps even in a mocking sort of tone. As I paced onwards, I heard Daxter chuckle. Why was the game triggering him to talk so much? When he spoke, he was taking quite small pauses.
I flinched in my chair when Daxter shouted. I need to find the boat… Now!
Line 118:
On the screen, Jaks face was pale white. It seemed as if he had some faint purple veins around the edge of his face and neck. Either it was my eyes playing tricks on me or those veins were pulsating… His mouth bared a wide grin from ear to ear and his eyes… black; yet, they also bared purple bloodshot veins. More noticeable than the one’s upon his face. His hair hadn’t changed at all, yet…
Daxter, he bared a sinister grin. This time with teeth showing and his eyes were back with those yellow veins, looking more infected then before. Looking at his fur, it had a grimy, ruffled look to it. They did not move a muscle, not even to do one of their ’idle’ animations if you left them alone long enough. They just… stared… It was hard for me to take my eyes off them.
Was he… No. Don’t be silly. He can’t be talking to me… right?
Line 130:
One part of the dialogue being spoken by Samos as the boys traveled, mostly towards the end, sent a chill right through my spine…
''
If that wasn’t enough. After the dialogue had finished… Daxter spoke. Sending one last chill through me…
