While a wasteland is not the most exciting place to have an adventure, and probably results in the characters having a stench, the wasteland featured in Jak 3 makes for an abundantly larger map than in the previous two installments of the series. Doing missions to search for the power cells needed to cure Daxter, Jak will find himself running all over the wasteland to run errands for individuals and even fight them. One thing different from the past games is that all vehicles in Jak 3 have to be unlocked, with no ability to jump in the car and drive.
New guns, new vehicle mechanics, and a new ragdoll effect, there are enough new things to keep players interested, but enough of the original game to give a sense of continuity and nostalgia to the past installments.
All things considered, Jak 3 is a great continuation of an already great series. The storyline is able to keep fans interested without changing, and the new and improved mechanics and features in each installment make for an exciting, new gameplay each time around, as players get to experience the same game and nostalgia of a beloved experience, with the excitement of seeing things for the first time and learning what the game is able to do.

Game review Downloads Screenshots If you think about how many great games came out around the same time as Jak 2, you'll sit and wonder where we went wrong today.
But let's sit and celebrate that we got offered a game like Jak 2. If you are a young gamer looking for a definition of what made an excellent platformer, you wouldn't need to look further than Jak 2. It's the epitome of what a good game should be - immersive, satisfying, rewarding - and of course, easily accessible.
Bar its difficulty curve, the game is nothing short of a masterpiece. What we didn't expect was that a follow-up to the kid-friendly platformer would follow with such a dark, gritty, more mature approach. As you can see, developer Naughty Dog has left behind the bright Crash Bandicoot -style backdrops of the original in favor of a setting that looks more like a war zone.
When we last left Jak and Daxter, they were peering into a mysterious, glowing doorway. At the start of Jak II, we learn that doorway is actually a portal to a dark, depressed city in a completely different time period.
Naturally, the pair enter the doorway, but they aren't given a warm reception on the other side; the natives grab Jak, throw him in jail, and experiment on him using dark eco, the mutagenic goo from the last game. Daxter eventually helps his friend break out of prison, but hard time has changed Jak into an angry, street-smart tough guy see the sidebar for details.
With this new attitude comes a new focus on game-play, too. Jak now has access to four guns, each loaded with a different kind of projectile--and the game's fighting is also more combo driven. For example, you can spin kick, then follow up by smacking a goon in the face with the butt of your gun. Or you can jump into the air and blast downward to apply a brutal finishing touch.
There are a number of changes to Jak II from a technology standpoint, as well. Every one of the hundreds of different computer-controlled characters you run across in the city look different; you can travel through the entire town in a number of futuristic flying cars, and the cut-scene graphics have improved dramatically.
Darker, bolder, prettier--all told, this is definitely one sequel to look forward to. In the sequel to spirited PS2 platformer Jak and Daxter, Jak grows up, picks up an arsenal of weapons, and takes up residence in a living, breathing futuristic city. Oh, and he talks now, too. Somehow this game feels like the original Jak and Daxter-- and completely fresh and new at the same time.
I'm happy to report that it's not dark for dark's sake or the Grand Theft Auto clone it might seem at first. It's got the last game's inventive puzzles, great timing, excellent vehicle physics, and a spot-on camera, but now there's shooting and even more variety.
