I played more of Jak and Daxter tonight. In order to get the boat to go to the next location, I had to find a fisherman in the jungle level. And that's where I spent all the time playing tonight. Most of it was normal platforming, but there were some things worth mentioning. I fought what I would consider the game's first boss battle. It was a giant plant. Basically, you have a small area to move around in, and the plant is snapping at you. You can keep out of its way, but it also sends little enemies at you. The enemies alternate between being invulnerable (you lose health when you attack them) and beatable. At first, it sends only one. Then later on, two or three at a time. Sometimes, the plant changes and you're able to do some really simple platforming and hit it. It takes three hits to win.

Now, as far as getting the fisherman, you have to do a minigame first. You move a net back and forth on the screen and try to catch 200 pounds of fish. One kind is worth 1 pound, the other is 5 pounds. There's one thing that causes you to lose the minigame instantly if you accidentally catch it. Took me about three tries, but it was actually kind of fun.
