Line 6:
I hadn't made it to the water in time… I had forgotten about the flamethrower guy in this round-about corridor.
On second thought, where did I last save? Reloading the
Running up, I checked to see where they would lead me. Only to discover I was in an area, that was further away from the round-about corridor. This is what I get for not saving constantly in ''Tomb Raider 2''. Oh well…
Line 14:
''Jak and Daxter: The Precursor Legacy.'' I've not played that game in a long time! Taking it from the shelf, I popped it into the PS2. Leaving the Tomb Raider 2 game on my bed for now. Just in case I felt like taking another shot at it again later.
As the game booted up, I smiled as Daxter appeared on the screen doing his silly dance. It always made me smile, Then laugh when Jak hit him with the ''Naughty Dog Logo''. The title screen soon appeared and I selected
But, I was still in ''
So far, it seemed I'd completed the level ''
I took control of the main Character, Jak and head off towards ''
That was the Fisherman laughing. Did I complete the fisherman's task? Normally, he didn't laugh, unless you helped him with his fishing. Pressing start and going into the menu screen. I checked The Forbidden Jungle progress. The task had not been completed, which I found slightly odd... I exited the menu, returning back to the game. I took a few steps ahead and proceeded to drop down the hole in the second bridge, which would put me near the Fisherman himself.
Line 30:
They should come towards me the minute they see me… That's when I noticed the bridge to get into the Temple had already been activated. I'm pretty certain I needed Blue Eco to trigger that bridge. It couldn't of been activated if I didn't come across blue eco. Saves me the trouble of activating it myself, I guess? Moving on, I crossed the bridge and entered the temple. I began gathering the Blue Eco to activate the floating platforms that would take me to the top of the Temple. Upon reaching the Top, I slammed the switch to activate the Elevator, which would then take me downwards. Deep into the Temple itself.
Once the Elevator came to a stop, I took one pathway which led me to the Blue Eco Machine. I hit the button to activate the Blue Eco vents. These eco vents could be found over at
But, I put that down to another glitch. I took the other pathway, arriving at the First Boss Battle. The Boss was a plant. Apparently a plant that I had, somehow… already defeated. This was starting to get strange, How was the boss defeated already? I entered the start menu and checked through my progress on Forbidden jungle. Nothing was complete. I hadn't gained any Power Cell's and somehow, I'd already done some of the tasks.
Line 36:
My curiosity was starting to get the better of me. This was a new game I started, yet somehow, it was as if someone had already played it and did some of the tasks. But, How? Checking through the progress once more on other levels, it showed that Geyser rock had been the only fully completed level so far. They say curiosity killed the cat, well… curiosity is winning me over.
As I made my way out of the Temple and backtracked to get out of the Jungle. I decided to check back on the Fisherman again… He wasn't there, nor could his laughter be heard this time. It was just complete silence.I decided to continue on, jumping onto the platforms at the side of the cliff. …The Fisherman's laughter returned. This time however, his laugh sounded... Distorted. As if there was crackling in his voice. Do I dare turn the camera around to see if
I wish I hadn't. Whilst his laughter still continued his character model had returned, yet his eyes bared no pupils. Just pure white…Not only that but, his model was facing towards me when it should have been facing his basket of fish. It's as if he's laughing… at me. I turned and fled, his laughter soon becoming fainter the further I got away.
Line 42:
Entering back into Sandover village, I spoke to the sleeping Farmer and helped him get his Yacow's back into the pen. A Power Cell was the reward for the Task. I smiled as Jak and Daxter did their little Victory dance upon gaining a Power Cell.
As I started to head back to the village, I could of sworn I heard the Farmer mumble something different in his sleep… I decided to go for ''
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
As I began to navigate further into the island, that same whimpering noise rung out once more. This time followed by a voice "Jak, let's go back." That was Daxter speaking. You see, Daxter speaks to you throughout the game at triggered times. Though, I don't recall Daxter saying something like this within the game. My curiosity still wanted to continue the game.
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 62:
I began to jump across two platforms…
"Jak,
I jumped to another platform which began to crumble, quickly jumping once more to the final platform that sported a big round door.
Line 68:
"Being Ignorant leads to trouble, Remember what Olde Green Stuff said?!"
I took a deep breath.
If I am to find out
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
"Jaa, a, aa, aak."
Line 96:
"What?!" I exclaimed, as I quickly grabbed my controller, Starting to make Jak punch and kick but, there was no ambush and Daxter was now back on Jaks shoulder. Using the analog stick once more, I zoomed in on the two boys. Jaks eyes were half open, as if he looked tired. His skin looked a lot paler compared to his normal color. He looked ill. Daxter however… My eyes went wide at the sight.
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
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.
Line 114:
I looked closely at Jak, then zoomed the camera in on him. No Daxter. As for Jak; his eyes now bared a blank stare as if he was in some form of trance. I only have one choice and that's to swim back to Sandover Village. I dived into the water; I swam as far as I could go until I heard that familiar sound. A heartbeat… The Lurker shark was coming; I stood no chance in swimming away as the beast swallowed me whole.
Jak spawned back on the Dock. He was standing yet, whatever button I pressed he did not move. He was frozen to the spot. Daxter had returned to his shoulder. I took a breath and bit down on my lip, zooming the camera around and onto the boys. The Controller slowly slid out of my hands at the sight before me. As it hit the floor with a loud
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…
Line 126:
I ejected the disc and checked over it one more time. Nothing but, surface scratches. Confused, creeped out, intrigued and determined. I dared to place the disc back in the PS2 and rebooted it. The title screen soon appeared, Load game… No files?
I raised a brow, mouthing
One part of the dialogue being spoken by Samos as the boys traveled, mostly towards the end, sent a chill right through my spine…
