C&VG posted an interview with the team behind Jak and Daxter.
Here’s a slice:

What sets Jak and Daxter apart from other 3D platformers?

Jason: We call it a Platform Action game because it's both parts of Zelda's action and part of Mario's platforming.

Andy: In Germany they call it Jump and Run.

Jason: First, there's the story. There's also the load-free world, which no other action game I know of, has pulled off without camera cuts or things like that. We have a hundred different tasks in the game that are pretty much unique. If you fall in the water it's not death,you swim around. You can do things in many orders. You do a task where if you kick a pelican, he spits out a power cell and you race him to it. Go to a cannon first, and you can blow him up in his nest and you don't have to race him.
