    Amazing gameplay and environment variety. Excellent soundtrack. Only downsides of this game - too short and too easy. This is the ultimate PS2 game.

    It's an enjoyable game and it improves some aspects from jak 2 like adding more checkpoints during missions and more weapon upgrades and I enjoyed the cars combat sequences in the desert, the missions were all over the place I still enjoyed most of them and I know that the game needed to have some verity but it's so varied that it became unfocused a lot of the missions are just differentIt's an enjoyable game and it improves some aspects from jak 2 like adding more checkpoints during missions and more weapon upgrades and I enjoyed the cars combat sequences in the desert, the missions were all over the place I still enjoyed most of them and I know that the game needed to have some verity but it's so varied that it became unfocused a lot of the missions are just different playstyles and minigames but at least the platforming and shooting gameplay from jak 2 is still solid, the other issue is that while yes the light eco abilities are fun to use the game rarely give you a chance to utilize them, I know that the game was rushed so I will give it some credit it's still a great game and the story is good especially the ending.… Expand

    Still without strafe, but other gameplay mechanics were improved after Jak II. This can be a game, which ends the trilogy.

    Jak 3 es... honestamente excelente, y en parte lo puedo ver como el mejor de la trilogía ya que la jugabilidad se siente la mas refinada, gráficamente es el mejor con diferencia, super precioso con cinemáticas tan bien animadas y que están al igual que los otros adelantado para la época, con una banda sonora inolvidable y una historia super memorable.

Lo único malo que realmente ya se esta haciendo costumbre por alguna razón es el no poder mover la cámara de arriba a abajo para intentar darle un toque mas "cinematográfico" (o eso supongo). Parece hecho a propósito.
    La verdad que la trilogía original de Jak me gusta casi a la par, los 3 juegos están entre mis favoritos y son sobresalientes en todo momento! Y debo decir que Jak 3 esta totalmente a la altura a pesar de que quizá solo quizá no lo considere el mejor. Si te gustaron los dos anteriores este si o si lo debes de tener.    … Expand

    Not as good as the first two but still a great game. The story is much weaker this time around but the level design is still top notch and the controls feel a bit tighter this time around. There are a greater number of areas that cannot be visited compared to the other games unfortunately. Difficulty is reduced compared to Jak 2 but can still be a challenge on a few of the missions.Not as good as the first two but still a great game.

    After the events of Jak 2, the third installment of the Jak franchise is pretty amazing as its predecessor but with more sand for our two road warriors finding their way to stop Errol from destroying the population.

    Although slightly lower than its second installment due to the number of driving missions, this game is still outstanding. An even bigger world with 2 cities full of secrets. Expansion of the arsenal of weapons, new mechanics and new enemies. Excellent.

    Esta entrega sigue la estela que dejo tras de si Jak 2. Ahora ademas de la ciudad tendremos mas territorios explorables y mas armas, la historia sigue siendo interesante y los personajes mantienen su carisma. Como punto negativo quizás se centra en los vehículos un poco mas que la entrega anterior.

    Jak and Daxter is my favorite platformer, Jak II is one of my favorite games of the PS2 and Jak 3 It's a great ending to one of my favorite trilogies of all time. The story gets deeper and more interesting, the carachter of Jak (who started as a mute character) it's now a complex character who started developing in Jak II, the gameplay it's just wonderful...

    Took a step back from II in my opinion but that's not saying much as this game is still in the top 95% of ps2 games.

    I hated Jak 2 so unbelievably much, that I skipped the next game in the series. But when I finally played Jak 3, it was okay. The game once again has that colorful graphical style of Jak 1, and the missions are no longer a pain in the ass. The story in this game actually makes sense, unlike the garbage Jak 2 gave us, and the soundtrack was pretty good.

    jak 3 was the least of favourite in the series, it was exactly the same as jak 2, the levels were ok and gameplay, the missions were little difficult but i still like it. the open world in the desert was a great design

    Best 3D action/platformer out there. It has awesome weapons, interesting vehicles, and fun characters. Best game in the Jak series, and arguably the best PS2 game. It has everything.

    This game was so awesome as a kid and it still is now. You don`t get games like this anymore which is a shame as whenever i play it many memories and nostalgia just roll in. One of my favourite PS2 games of all time.

    Its identical nature to "Jak 2" may leave a nasty taste in the mouth, especially given that this is the send-off to the comical pair.

    Daxter's shtick notwithstanding (he hasn't made me laugh since the middle of last year's adventure) Jak 3 stands tall and proud as a testament of what polished gameplay and cutting-edge graphics can do when the host system's Emotion Engine is maximized.

    Despite the sweet new weapon upgrades and other new features, Jak 3 didn't have the same impact on me as "Jak II" because it wasn't as fresh - it feels a little too much like extra "Jak II" chapters. It's still great, don't get me wrong - but maybe not as mind-blowingly fantastic as what came before. [Nov 2004, p.70]
