Jak and Daxter: The Lost Frontier is an action-platformer developed by High Impact Games and published by Sony Computer Entertainment for the PlayStation Portable. Released in 2009, this entry takes the beloved Jak and Daxter series in a fresh direction by moving the story away from familiar Haven City and into uncharted territory. Jak, Daxter, and Keira embark on a journey to find the source of a Dark Eco shortage that threatens to tear the world apart. The game gives players control over Jak in fast-paced ground combat combined with aerial dogfight sequences that add a layer of variety that portable platformers rarely offer. Jak can tap into both Light and Dark Eco powers to fight enemies and solve challenges, keeping the series' signature dual-nature combat intact. The transition to handheld hardware does not strip the game of ambition, as it delivers a cinematic feel and a story-driven adventure that fans of the series can pick up and enjoy on the go.

Overview
Jak and Daxter: The Lost Frontier is an action-platformer developed by High Impact Games and published by Sony Computer Entertainment for the PlayStation Portable. Released in 2009, this entry takes the beloved Jak and Daxter series in a fresh direction by moving the story away from familiar Haven City and into uncharted territory. Jak, Daxter, and Keira embark on a journey to find the source of a Dark Eco shortage that threatens to tear the world apart. The game gives players control over Jak in fast-paced ground combat combined with aerial dogfight sequences that add a layer of variety that portable platformers rarely offer. Jak can tap into both Light and Dark Eco powers to fight enemies and solve challenges, keeping the series' signature dual-nature combat intact. The transition to handheld hardware does not strip the game of ambition, as it delivers a cinematic feel and a story-driven adventure that fans of the series can pick up and enjoy on the go.
The game splits its action across two distinct styles of play. On the ground, players work through levels that pack enemies, platforming sections, and boss encounters that test both combat and movement skills. In the air, players pilot a ship through combat zones where they shoot down enemy aircraft and collect Dark Eco to upgrade weapons and fuel the ship's systems. Jak earns new abilities and gear throughout the adventure, giving players a steady sense of progression as they push deeper into the frontier. The world map opens up different regions to explore, including alien landscapes and crumbling skies, each bringing a unique visual tone and a new set of obstacles. The game does not include a multiplayer mode, keeping the focus entirely on the single-player story campaign. High Impact Games built a tight, well-paced experience that feels complete rather than cut short. For fans who grew up with the Jak and Daxter franchise, The Lost Frontier delivers a worthy handheld chapter that stands as one of the stronger action-platformers on the PSP.
