A WILD RIDE.

When SONY Released JAK & Daxter: The Precursor Legacy early in the PlayStation 2's life it quickly became one of the standout titles on the system. Naughty Dog's lush world, sharp sense of humour and open levels took the platforming genre forward a few steps and was something other developers could aspire to on the system. The series took a darker turn with the release of Jak II: Renegade, taking players from the tropical paradise of Jak's home to the grittier world of Haven City. The gameplay changed with the environment, with the introduction of vehicles, more weapons combat and a wider range of missions. While still remaining quite linear, there were a multitude of side-missions that could keep players occupied for hours.

Jak 3 now completes Naughty Dog's mighty trilogy and follows fairly closely with the gameplay and presentation of the second. At the start of the game Jak is banished from the city that he helped save and exiled to The Wastelands, a large desert expanse characterised by sandy dunes and rocky outcrops. Near starvation after walking in the desert, both Jak and Daxter are saved by a group of outlaws who take them to the fortified town of Spargus, a town filled with exiles from Haven City.

The conclusion to Jak's story follows his and the final battle to save Haven City from the twin threats of the Metal Heads and the Mechanised Death Bots. Pretty much all the loose ends are tied up well throughout the game, which features many of the characters seen in previous games, and is as well told as in those games. A strong sense of humour overlays the more serious side of the story and makes playing through the game very enjoyable.

So, in Conculsion this game is really worth of playing as it throws you into the game, allowing more weapons, more wilder areas of playing, better machines and vechiles to play with, as well as a great story. Thanks for Reading: Best of D0ment0r7.
