The Official Platinum Difficulty Discussion Thread

[vettes_4-ever]

I took my time playing through all of the levels. Most of them I enjoyed.....except that [insert profanities here] Spider Cave! Right when I got inside the place, I knew I wouldn't like it. The bland environment of it and many cheap death spots made me hate it to no end. That dark cave part made me want to pull my hair out after dying in so many places. After making it through the whole place, I only had a few Precursor Orbs left to obtain. I managed to get all but 1 from killing the gnawing lurkers, and then the hunt began for the final Precursor Orb of the Spider Cave. Oh what a hunt that was! I searched for nearly 3 hours before finding that last Precursor Orb, and it certainly wasn't fun.

I know that feel bro.

Very easy. A few of the Precursor Orbs were a little annoying to find, but other than that, it was simple, but extremely fun.

super easy platnum. especally if ur a fan of the game. i got it in an evening. on the PS2 i had found out how to get 100%, so i flew through this in one play through, but even if u don't get it in one play through, u can still go back to places u missed things at with out having to start over. great HD game

2/10 Super easy

[crewe-fox]

I voted Very Easy, no hard bosses or races just the clean up on collectibles can be a pain but still A VERY EASY platinum to get.

1. Very easy.
Never ever played the jak series before this trilogy but I did play a lot of platformers in the old days. For me this was my easiest plat so far.

[Digitalman123]

1. Very Easy
With a grand total of 2,213 collectibles, this plat is very easy. I took my sweet time and weeded out every collectible in every area as I got there, and it only took about a total of 6 to 7ish hours.

[TerminalPhoenix]

I would have voted very easy had I not spent 2 hours looking for 3 precursor orbs on Snowy Mountain. Turns out they fell in the snow and were covered by it. Gah.

Fun game though and aside from 2-3 places where platforming was made slightly frustrating by the camera angles, a very enjoyable albeit easy game.

[elonius007]

Moderate.

I had it for ps2, but along with about 100 other games, I never got around to really playing it. Was very excited to see it on the ps3 in trophy form. I make a habit out of playing a game once through now without any guides or walkthroughs just enjoying the experience. I get what I can the first time then try to clean up afterwards. The collectibles were easy for the most part, except the precursor orbs. By the end of my platinum, I was pissed at those things. I had about 13 of them that for the life of me I couldn't find and spent hours and hours looking for. One area was on Misty Island and you had to use the cannon to break boxes in the arena like area. I could not get the cannon to fire far enough to break boxes on the far side no matter what angles I tried to launch it at. I even tried to power up my blue eco and run in there from the outside a billion times. The funny part was when I finally figured out that you could hold down the fire button on the cannon to launch it further...lol.

I'm a far cry from a super gamer though, and if it says you can platinum a game in such and such time, I usually multiply that by 4 to figure out how long it will take me all told. Camera angles and collectibles are why I give it a moderate rating. Very fun game for me until the cleanup part.

1 - Very Easy

There were some tricky parts here and there, but it was nothing tedious or too difficult. I only needed to use the trophy guide for the last few orbs and power cells I was missing, but that's it.

Got the in 2 days.

[TheMuselessOne]

I gave it a 1/5 (2/10).

It was grindy in the last bit, just finding the last hundred and twenty or so Precursor Orbs, but other than that, it was a smooth and easy platinum.

[NIGHTMARE]

EASY, the game itself is easy but was really time consuming for me for some weird reason took 22hrs in gameplay. The controls are shit, the camera never looks where i wanted it.

[SirDrRoger]

Easy - I beat the game back in the PS2 days but I never bothered collecting all the collectibles back then. Most of the collectibles are easy to find but there are a few that are too well hidden. Personally I found the bike riding part much easier than I did back in the day the only real problem it has was making sharp turns. Boss fights aren't difficulty you just need to learn the patterns. There is also alot of cheap deaths in many parts of the game but especially in the Spider Cave. Took me around 8 hours to beat the game.

[BROWN_DAISY_X]

I would definitely have to give this a 1... Not that thats a bad thing... Still a great game

[black_dog21]

it was fun, and a bit easy. after you have beat the game on the PS2

[AngeldeLeo]

I ll say easy fun game but yes the camera sux

[black_dog21]

I ll say easy fun game but yes the camera sux

i always reverse the camera so it is more like other games i play

[jenkem_addict88]

voted 2. nothing to difficult at all.

[Larrydavidsavatar]

I'll give it a 2, having, like others, finished the crap out of this a decade ago.

Camera issues and some crashes were the only quibbles in an enjoyable trip back to my teens.

[Chambers35]

Voted Easy... because I voted Trine 2 Very Easy

First time I've played the game and I quite enjoyed it

[omnislash]

1 very easy or 2/10 Easy game in general and most trophies are story related. Maybe a few of the orbs and power cells could be a little tricky to find but I played this a few times on PS2 so it was mostly easy for me. Also this is a quick plat as well.
