ive played the first two and they were awsome. And if the first two were good then the third must be even better.

If you've never played the Jak and Daxter trilogy from Naughty Dog- you're missing out on a great deal of fun my friend!
Over the past few years these games have become some of the most graphically advanced and challenging games (hero mode-Jak II) to grace the market! A purchase well worth your time and money!
DUDE!! What in Haven City do you think you're DOING!?

OK, I know the game hasn't come out yet and I admit I haven'te completed either "Jak and Daxter" or "Jak II," but I have thoroughly loved what I have played of the first two (roughly half of both games) and am extremely excited about this one, because it sounds like its gonna be the best one yet. Light Jak? Wasteland five times bigger than Haven City? This is going to be one sweet game.
I hope I can manage to finish the first two before this one comes out. Having not completed either of them, I'm rather confused about all the Precursor stuff. I hope this doesn'te stop me from enjoying the storylines as much.
I understand that fans of the games (Jak II especially) tend to also like this "Ratchet and Clank" thing I've heard so much about. I've never tried them myself. Maybe I should.
I really liked the dramatic change in tone and gameplay style between the first two games, from the upbeat, beautiful "Jak and Daxter" to the dark and dirty "Jak II." I hope we get another cool variation on this one. I don't want it to be just a repeat of "Jak II."
You're probably wondering about the title of my review. It's possible that by the time anyone reads this the review I'm talking about will be gone, but there's like four copies of the same review ("NOT The Last Game!") posted at the time I'm writing this. I don't know how this happened, but I'd like whoever's doing it to stop. All it does is take up space and make it harder for other people to post their own reviews.
Anyway, I'm really excited about this game and yes, "Jak 4" as well (although I'm wondering if there's any truth to this rumor).
LONG LIVE DAXTER!
Probably...

This game is definately going to be the best yet. What with the ability to upgrade your guns THREE TIMES and to turn into Dark Jak and Light Jak on the fly, this is going to be the ultimate in platforming-action. I don't care what Ratchet and Clank fans say, Jak 3 is going to be da bomb! I think that there probably will be a Jak 4. It may not go under that title, but I took that one reviewer's advice (you know, the guy that posted the same review, like, fifty times in a row?) and looked. It did say that there would definately be more games featuring Jak and Daxter. I don't know if it's going to be Jak 4 or a game set in the Jak universe, but they say that there definately will be more games featuring Jak and Daxter, and that's good enough for me! :-D
WOW

when I heard this game was comeing out I was overjoyed. I went out and bought it 2 days after it came out. It's a great game. Unlike the last game you get the weapons early in the game. The weapons u get are kick ass too (my favorite being the arc wielder). Also the wasteland area is huge and so detailed. Furthermore the addition of light Jak just makes the game that much better. From the dune buggie missions to the missions where u have to "shoot 'em up" they are all great fun. An added feature is that after u die numerous times the mission gets easier. The plot is great too and daxter, as always, is hillarios. I highly recomend u run out and buy this game right now. Go.
A fitting ending to one of the best Ps2 series ever

Jak3 continues the story of our buddy Jak and Daxter. This around Jak has bin betrayed and abandoned from Haven City for having more Metal heads coming back. I mean..HE SAVED THE WORLD GIVE THE GUY SOME CREDIT WILL YA! The game pretty much gives you a new, new weapons, new weapon upgrade and a new Jak. Daxter is more playable in this one too unlike Jak 2. Now let's get one thing straight...This is a very awesome and underrated game but it's getting ignored by games like Halo and GTA. This has an awesome story even close to Zelda series. The characters are very memorable and all in all...it's a very great game..
The visuals are fantastic eventhough a bit glitchy. The visuals for the characters and cutscenes are very cartoony and breathtaking especially when you play the racing mission. But the choppy visuals arn't as good as Jak 2's Choppy visuals mainly cause there was less choppeyness in it. Besides the visuals the voice casting is superb, even though Keira's voiced is changed and you don't here her talk that much. The missions are just as good IF NOT better then Jak2's mission. Some new elements have bin added like gun mods for each of you weapon and they'll be highly worth it.
The New Dark and Light Jak elements are even better then ever, especially how when youre in light jak mode you can freez time, and you can even fly! Yup. There even more new Dark Jak abilities that I won't spoil. The game isn't as hard as Jak2...meaning..you won't die as much as you did in Jak2, not to mention it isn't as long as Jak 2 which is a big dissapointment. The Missions are absolutely amazing as I have said before but the creators could have added a bit more, not to mention the big "CONCLUSION" they slap at you at the end of the game. You will be either happy with the end or semi-happy like me or you'll literaly break your ps2 for such a wierd ending...sadly This is ND's last Jak game so there just gonna leave us hanging....Overall...It's an amazing series as a whole...
Good
-sweet Visuals
-New weapon mods are great
-Awesome Missions
-Haven City is more corrupted then ever
-Some very memerable missions
-More Dax parts in the game
-New Dark Jak Light Jak abilities
Bad
-The choppy visuals get annoying
-Some of the missions kinna seem the same
-More driving in the game then any of the other things you can do
-Not as a hard but still a bit frustraiting in some missions
-This game is just TOO SHORT. I beat it in 12 hours, Jak 2 took me about 23 hours. Big difference
-The Ending will make a few angry
-... :( The last Jak game...sigh..
Overall Jak is the best cause it has everything that Jak 2 has but less of it and adds new stuff, but ruined by the ending AND the short game itself. Still Jak 3 is a great game, great visuals, great characters, awesome memerable weapons and is overall...a great game and should be in your PS2 collection and that is why I'm giving it a
4.4 out of 5
By the way this is to a "KIDS REVIEW" can you stop overreviewing this game?! Obviously it's you who keeps reviewing it since you leave stupid sentences to people who give there opinion on the game. You're just as annoying as that Fan who keeps leaving reviews on Chingy!..advice..PUT ONE REVIEW!..idiot..

This game is a lot of fun, My 9 year old son and I have spent 40 hours on it and we are only 1/3 of the way through the game.
We have liked all the Jak titles and this is no disapointment.
According to the guide, the "game area" is 5 times larger than the original and I believe it.
Driving is an important part of this game, and they make it as much fun as possible. If Naughty Dog wanted they could spin off the driving like Crash Team Racing, or something appropriate to this title.
Jak 3 rocks

It has realy cool cars and Leaping lizards which are kind of like horses that get u around the town alot easier. Over all I think it is way beter then Jak 1 an 2. It was preaty hard to decide about it because of Jak 1 was really bad. But buying this game totaly changed my mind about the Jak games.

i dont have the game but i played the demo the new guns are awsome my favorite was the one that look like an atomic bomb.i have played and beat all the other ones and dying to get jak3 i always get them on christmas.and also i dont see how ratchet and clank are rivals because on jak2 there is a poster of them on the arena. i havent played any rathet and clank games but i think if you were going to chose from the two it should be jak3.
Okay, I guess.....

I was so excited when I got this game. I remebered it taking forever for me to beat jak2. Yeah, well, this one took me about 3 days. Some of the missions are frustrating, hard, and slow. Don't get me wrong, most are great. The story line was good, most gameplay good. But what really dissapointed me was the ending. It was the stupidest thing I have ever witnessed on the PS2. Suddenly I felt very empty inside. The end ruined it. This is a renter, not a buyer. If you must buy, wait and save some money.
