The epic trilogy comes to a conclusion

Jak and Daxter: The Precursor Legacy was a pure platformer at heart. It was more kid-friendly and goofy. Naughty Dog decided that they didn't want Jak and Daxter ending up like their previous Crash Bandicoot so they changed things up a 'bit' with Jak II. Jak II was darker, but not as dark as other games out there. It had the perfect tone of darkness for it to be a sequel to such a kiddy game. Jak II also had almost nothing to do with the first game. But enough of that, out with the old and in with the new. Enter Jak 3:

It's been a while since Jak defeated Metal Kor and saved the city...or did he? Now with Ashelin temporarily ruling Haven City the Krimzon Guards don't exist anymore. Instead now they're the Freedom League Guards. Now the Metal Heads have returned somehow recuperating quickly after losing their leader. This has made Ashelin get off the throne thus Torn not being the Freedom League commander so a member of Haven City's Grand Council called Count Veger takes control of the Freedom League. Also, the Krimzon Guards mysteriously return with a new leader. The battle of the three factions continues as they all struggle for control of Haven City. And who do they blame for this problem? Jak of course. Count Veger blames Jak to save his own tail since he's the real problem because he wants control over the city. Soon the entire city believes Jak is responsable because of his 'friendship' with Krew. The Council decides to banish Jak to the Wasteland for life. Of course Daxter decides to join him and for some reason so does Pecker. After Jak and company can't take the sand and heat anymore, they're found by King Damus; the ruler of Spargus. Spargus is a small city in the big Wasteland where other exiled people roam. But it's not all easy for Jak when he's taken to Spargus. There they value survival over all other things and Jak has to prove himself to King Damus and his right-hand-man Kleever. After a while, he'll find ways to eventually get back into parts of Haven City although it's nothing like before. When Jak makes his way into Haven City he finds out that the city is now a destroyed battlefield. But that's not even half of the problem. This Precursor monk called Seem keeps talking about this mysterious Daystar and that the world's final trial is coming. She also tells Jak that his dark powers will eventually consume him so a Precursor(or is it an Oracle?)grants him light powers. So now Jak will have both Light Jak and Dark Jak. I gave this game five stars because it's the ending of the epic trilogy and Jak II was a real good game but don't judge the game yet since it's coming out on November. (...)

NOT the last game!!

Ever since Jak and Daxter came out on the PS2, I have been a big fan of the series. From the simple kid-friendly Jak and Daxter to the gritty, violent Jak II, the J&D series has been on the top of my list.

When I heard that Jak 3 was coming out November, I was ecstatic. I gathered all the info I could on it. New Dark Jak powers, a new form called Light Jak which allows you to glide and heal yourself, extended gun mods, and much better vehicle control.
When I heard that it was the last game, I was heart broken.
And then I heard the news from an interview from one of the producers at Naughty Dog that Jak 3 will not be the duo's last outing.

Yes, Jak 3 will tie up the story line started in the Precursor Legacy, but it is not the end of the series. All the mysteries about Jak's past and the Precursors will be covered. But there will be a Jak 4, probably starting a new story line. I know this review doesn't cover anything bout the game, you can read other reviews for that. I had to say this so that the word was spread. (for more info, see the Game Informer magazine, issue # 136)

Jak Kicks Rachets Butt!!!

Jak 3 was awesome! My cousin is a naughty dog employee. JAK 4 is next! He said that in Jak 4 it starts out by Jak seeing a light in the sky from naughty ottsel, jak follows the light and finds Damas (his father) regenerating. Same thing as light regeneration. Damas falls to the ground. Will the Jak family be reunited once more? Find out!

This is the best game ever. Jak gets kicked out of Haven City and now is in Spargus. You can be light Jak, too. He looks bad @$$. Light Jak looks so awesome. He can fly, slow time, heal, and activate a shield. There are 12 guns. Scatter gun, wave concussor, plasmite rpg, blaster, beam reflexor, gyro burster, vulcan fury, arc wielder, needle lazer, peace maker, mass inverter, and super nova. You can also get many buggies. Like tough puppy, sand shark, dune hopper, gila stomper, slam dozer, desert screamer,dust demon, and heat seeker. You better get this game cause it is the best game ever.

This game must rock!!!

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!
