Great game, but not the best.

Although shorter and easier than Jak 2 (my favorite of the Jak series), Jak 3 has its better areas. The world is huge and allows access to Haven City later in the game and you have access to upgraded weapons, more secrets/orbs, vehicles, and light jack. I beat this game much faster than Jak 2, but Jak 3 is by far the better game.

If you want my personal opinion, Jak 2 is the best Jak game in the series, but Jak 3 would be the overall best. The ending is a little strange (Jak 2 has a much better/less stupid ending), but I'm not going to spoil it.

Jak 3 is awsome!

This is the best jak game in the series. The handling of the wasteland vehicles is spectaculur. The game is not easy which is good. Graphics are good as well. If you are a fan of ratchet and clank get this game. Overall I give this game a perfect 10.

Definatly better than two

Jak 3 was a major improvement over Jak 2. The missions were very interesting and the game play was very fun. The best thing about Jak 3 is it's a combo of all the previous games and for anyone who's played the previous games (like me) it really pushes your "Jak skills" (manipulation of he character) to the limit. If you know the character moves well enough there are little shortcuts you can take, not major ones mind you, but little ones to get you that little edge you need to beat that monster/enemy/marauder, etc. One qualm though; the weapons... why so many? Am I playing Ratchet and Clank? I didn't even use half the weapons they provide. They even incorporated a Ratchet and Clank gun course in the extras. If I want to play with every type of gun an asian at his computer can come up with, then I'll play Ratchet and Clank. I like the Jak and Daxter series because of its originality. Other than that I really didn't see anything that bothered me. Jak 3 is a well rounded game with lots of aspects to keep you busy. If you liked the first games in the Jak and Daxter series you'll definitely like this one.

Great fun game

This game is very fun and very active when you get involved. This game will take time to beat and is allot of fun side tasks to do when the game is done. The Jax3 is the best game of the whole series and is the funniest game.

Fun, but really short

I've played the 3 Jak games, and I think I liked this least, though it was still lots of fun. It was just really short. I beat it in about a week, while it took me about a year to beat the other two (mind you I had to stop a lot more for homework then, but they were still longer). I have to say I hated driving the dune buggies which would flip and skid all the time. Also, almost everytime you used it, random cars would just show up and start shooting me, which was both non-sensical and annoying. At least before it was always explained why I was being attacked. As for the larger environments, I didn't feel like it was larger, it felt smaller to me. The city changed so much that I was lost all the time, and Scargas (the wastelander city) was kind of boring. This game was really heavy on racing, especially in the beginning. Some missions were really easy, some were ridiculously hard. I was really dissapointed with the final boss. I beat it on the second try, while with Jak 2 I had to keep trying for 2 hours. The story was good, though hilariously angsty, "I never knew my father...", "It's some kind of invisibility!" The city is almost constantly under attack by metal heads, which is annoying because it makes transportation hazardous and didn't we kill them in the last game? On the plus side though, the Krimzon Guard is under Torn's command now, so you can bump into them without being chased (though they now wear blue, which doesn't make much sense). Light Jak powers are so much fun, but the light eco is more rare than dark echo, so you can't just fly around everywhere like we all want to do. I don't want to give any storyline away, so I'll just say it was entertaining, but I kind of wish I'd just rented it instead of buying. It was fun to see old characters again (though I think the old Kiera quit, so they tried to keep her role as limited as possible) and the new characters are cool. Anyway, it's fun, but not as good as I'd hoped.

Better than the previous two!!!

Jak 3 is so much fun! It's ten times better than the previous two games because now, you have 12 guns and more vehicles. Plus, there are 2 cities and more areas to play in.
Lots of people might complain that the missions are frustrating, but if you've played Jak and Daxter and Jak 2, you should be fine.
To me, this game is a lot of fun. The scenes might be a little underdone or, in some cases, overdone but there's better humor to go along with it.
Overall, I'd recommend Jak 3 to be a part of your game collection.

Great game, but the sequel may not be what you're expecting

First of all, let me say that the Jak trilogy is one of my favorite franchises of all time. Platforming is definately my favorite genre of gaming. Jak 3 does not disappoint. With a perfect mixture of platforming, driving, and shooting; Jak, if even possible, improves on every gaming level that Jak II started.

The story, though still great by all means, is not as involving as Jak II. In the last game it pulled you into a continuously spiraling pool of deceit and betrayal. In this game there is backstabbing, but there aren't as many plot twists as before.

Now, one thing that has been on everyone's minds is: is this really the last Jak and Daxter game? The answer is no. NaughtyDog has now officially announced a new Jak and Daxter game coming out, but it may not be what you are expecting. It's not a platformer. What could it be then? I'll give you a hint...

The title is Jak X: Combat Racing. Yes that's right, NaughtyDog has taken one of the most revered action-platformers out there and turned it into a full-on racing game, 'cause that all worked really well with Crash Nitro Kart. I've seen movies of it, and the graphics are something to behold. Also it looks like there are going to be quite a number of combat elements.

From what I've heard the story isn't anything to be impressed with. Instead of the involving story of Precursors or Jak's inevitable destiny, Jak and company are called to Krew's funeral for the reading of his will, only to find that every person present has somehow been poisoned. So it's off to find an antidote. How do they do this? Racing people of course. So you will race as Jak, Samos, Keira, Daxter, Ashelin and everyone else. I may not like this, but i'm going to try it. I mean, it's Jak right?

Oh, and Jak's new outfit looks cool too.

Best ever

Jak and Daxter have always made fun games. Jak 1 had you stopping a mad man and saving the world, JakII had you exploring a big city, and trying to stop the vicious metalheads, but Jak 3 was breathtaking. Jak 3 lands you in the middle of a war. The game has great graphics. One amazing thing in the game was Cyber Errol, he had an unpresedented amount of polygons( 2000). The only let down was the mission where you piloted the Blast Bot to destroy the Freedom Leagues shield, because the bot was weak( when you have to fight them they are alot tougher) about 5 shots kills it when you pilot it, and Krimzon Gaurds were warping in left and right. The Freedom Gaurds weren't that helpful, they just got in the way. But the sound was awesome. Naughty Dog did a great job on the cutscenes too. The only other let down was the fact that Jason Ruben left the Naughty Dogs, therefore disbanding the Naughty Dogs( Jason was the games designer) killing off any chance for another Jak trilogy. But this game is great. If you go through doing everything in the game, it will last you a good 6 months, because 3 secrets are easier to get in Hero Mode- a harder version of the game, all the side quests and the game length. You should definateley get it. If I had my own game review show, I would rate this game a 20/20. You should definateley try this game. Oh yeah, amazing storyline and unforgettable characters.
