I can't give it more than 5. It's fun while you're playing it but it left me wanting on so many levels. It's short. It's easy. It doesn't make full use of the Dual sense like its free predecessor.
It's biggest sin, however, is that it doesn't have any of its own identity. Like Playroom before it, it's an ode to the past. It's an expensive reference to days gone by. Nothing short of nostalgia-bait. When Jak popped up as a special bot, I couldn't help but think "man, I'd much rather play a new Jak & Daxter game". There were a lot of thoughts along those lines as I was playing.
I think all the tens in these comments are ridiculous. How can it be a ten when it's just a stream of references to bigger, better games that actually have their own identity.
