You’ll also have access to riding animal mounts, hang gliding through the skies from a mountain stronghold and even a return to hover board riding to traverse the areas of the game. Players are now given a large number of dune buggies to navigate the large expanse of desert property, but that’s not all. This is also bolstered with an expanded number of transportation from Jak II to Jak 3. First of all, while Haven City was quite large within Jak II, it is dwarfed in comparison to the size of the Wastelands, which are at least five times its size. It’s safe to say that if you played the previous title, you’d be floored with the massive improvements and augmentations made from that game to this one. Dropped off in the brutal Wastelands with little more than a homing beacon to guide him to the indigenous people who live in that region, Jak has to figure out a way to survive, take revenge on those who abandoned him and save the world from a foretold threat (amongst other missions.)
The justification of this action, growled through clenched teeth by Count Veger, is twofold: first, the city’s streets have erupted into open warfare between numerous factions, and two, Jak’s dark Eco abilities are too dangerous to have inside city walls. However, Jak, Daxter and Pecker are quickly rounded up and exiled from the walls of Haven City. Typically, after such an incredible performance, you’d expect some kind of ticker tape parade, key to the city, or other kind of reward for their service. Picking up shortly after the events of Jak II, our heroes have just recently saved Haven City from the threat of the Krimson Guard and the Metal Heads. If Jak II was a story that revolved around our hero’s descent into darkness (thanks to being experimented on), Jak 3 is the story of his redemption and fulfillment of his destiny. Fortunately, this hesitation was unnecessary, as Jak 3 is easily the best title in the franchise. So I have to admit that I was somewhat concerned approaching this final game.

What’s more, the mix of humor, platforming and engaging story combined to elevate this series to incredible heights.
The popularity of Jak and Daxter had (arguably) surpassed Crash Bandicoot as the most beloved mascot on the console. After all, this was one of the most successful franchises on the PS2. Hell, even during the preview screenings of the game I had trouble rationally accepting that this was the end of the Precursor Saga. When it was announced that Jak 3 would be the last title in the series, I, like other Jak fans, couldn’t believe what I was hearing.
