Summary: grrrrreat
Date: 2008-09-02 - 
Comment: took a little longer to deliver than i expected, but it got to me in pristine condition. overall a "worth-it" purchase.
Summary: hoverboard, multiple vehicle makes, and all around adventure

Comment: At first I easily got into the flow of the game. I found myself dying less and less because I figured out each mission had certain 'snags' that could be overcome if I learned to look out for them. Like in the car races, I learned to take the lead early, then outpace all the others steadily. And with the weapons, earning secrets made them more powerful. Earning secrets was a fun twist. The game had helpful hints on how to control Jak and the moves are pretty standard --- jump, swing on pole, etc. I liked the jumping of the cars. The cars we're probably my favorite part. Driving through the wasteland is very realistic and functional. Also there was a hoverboard, like a skateboard which I got used to controlling after training. It came in handy sometimes.
I liked the city challenges and the fact that there was always some way to earn needed gems by killing random enemies.
Overall it was fun! I finished in about 2 weeks. A definite classic. I will look forward to Jak on PS3

Summary: Kind of fun, but gets repetitive...

Comment: I loved the original Jak and Daxter. I was shocked with the complexity of Jak 2. I hated it even.
Jak 3 is better than Jak 2, but it combines some elements of the second in the series with the adventure in the first. The problem is that you are sent running back and forth across this city, over and over, solving the same types of puzzles over and over again. Race over here, pick that up, bring it back before the time runs out. Now, go across the city and meet this other guy. He sends you on a racing mission... Finish that, return to the place you were before. Complete another racing mission. Defeat some bad guys here and there... Race someone else...
It gets really old after a while.
I haven't completed the game yet because, quite frankly, I got bored with it. You can only complete the same mission so many times (with different details, but ultimately, it's the same mission) before tiring of it.
If you like racing the clock to get things done, but minimal adventure, this game is for you.
If you liked the adventure of the first Jak and Daxter as I did, you probably won't like this game much...
Summary: a nice ending to a trilogy

Comment: When I purchased this game from Amazon, I was stoked to play this game as soon as I had received it. I like how the game involves more scenic variety as opposed to the Jak 2 setting in the dark and ominous Haven City. The storyline is great and I am impressed how Naughty Dog kept the plot interesting by having the player guess who the Precursors are and who Mar is. The gameply is basically the same as the previous games but I still recommend this game to those who love action and adventure.
Summary: Good game....but...

Comment: I have the same feelings about this game as I had about Jak 2. Great game but the language turned me off. I have young daughters who love Jak and Daxter but I don't like the language. As far as the game goes, it is better than Jak 2.
