10 years ago?!?! I'm 16 now and this was the first game I ever played on my PS2, the light ego the dark ego the guns the rideable hover boards the story line, the donkey you can ride, the desert driving, the puzzles, this game was the best ever!!!!!
I realize this was a while ago but, wow you guys don't have to be such jerks about it, PS2 is cheaper than a PS3 mind you, and in my opinion the PS2 is way more worth it, in terms of game library, having the whole PS1 library helps too. All that being said he might have a PS3 now.
TransfusioN to be fair it depends on which ps3 you get (a 60GB ps3 and some 80GB models can play PS2 games) however like you said not everyone can afford a ps3 and realistically speaking it would be pretty stupid to spend shitloads of money on a console designed for newer gen games just to play an older gen game with slighter sharper graphics and textures. it'd be like spending money on a delivery van just to carry a single apple
DeathgGod i see you only made it half way through my comment, i also said what would be the point of buying an expensive PS3 just to play a game they can just as easily play on a dirt cheap PS2? He may have had a use for the full library of games that the PS4 & PC had to offer but was only interested in 1 game the PS3 had to offer which just so happens to be available on a much cheaper console.
Does it matter that much if I jump in the series with Jak 3? I have a PS2 and have Jak X Combat Racing, which is fuckin' awesome btw, and found out about this game when I saw the unlockable cars and stuff in the secrets shop.

Yea I've seen those pics already, but it still puzzles me why they had to approach it from that realistic point of view. Look at ratchet and sly, they didn't look realistic last gen yet they looked great.
Look at Naughty Dog games after they stopped making Jack and Daxter games they made similar games but with realistic people I honesty do not believe Naughty Dog is stupid enough to go through with a realistic Jack and Daxter game I think the concepts just exist becasue of curiosity becasue of what the developer has evolved into I hope they are still passionate about the Jack and Daxter franchise ( Jason Rubin and his friend the creators of Jack and Daxter and Crash Bandicoot!
Alex Gowland I am from the future of 2020 and protip, If you don’t make it this far, you wont be sorry. I just got a ps2 and this game, it looks great and really something to distract from reality falling apart.
Jak II is really the hardest game I've ever played. I hate having to restart a mission every time I die, especially when doing car missions or anything involving grinding. If Jak 3 is any easier like everyone here says it is, then I might try it out.
"Because I'm... I'm... I'm a real hateful kind of guy and I... I get mad at games so easily that I've broken more controllers than I've drank a glass of water in my life..." holy fuck lol
I raged so much over jak II. I really don't like the vehicles but I think ill adapt to them eventually. I also like that its shorter. Jak II took too long to beat
I have so many great memories playing this game from Jak 2 to Jak 3. I love the storyline and the characters plus the available options it gives you. I was watching behind the scenes on this game and they said they may not make another Jak 4 because they didn't receive enough signatures from their fans which is sad. Also if you played Jak 3 do you know how the shield around the city collapsed and was there a plan to bring it up against the metal heads? Thanks to anyone who responds.
THANK YOU SO MUCH! I thought I was being retarded for thinking that Jak II is hard... I actually believed that I am the only one who thinks that, and hate it because of the frustration it caused me. Took me almost a week of intense playing to get the platinum.
just bought the collection two days ago have beat jak 1 and 2 an on three now, i'm loving it used to be one of my all time favorite game series. so much nastalgia as well.
I think worse about Jak II is that it's hard, AND so disgustingly unappealing aesthetically. It just looks so gross, and makes me not want to play it. Where is the bright, interesting areas from the first game??? Come onnnn!!!!!!
I think the element of frustration is more overwhelming in jak 2. The missions are similar to Jak 3 and not so complex but they are however a lot more tedious to complete.
I've noticed this aswell, literally just finished Jak 2 on the HD collection. I completed It loads of times when It was originally released on PS2 and didn't remember It being so challenging, still a quality game though!
Huh? Unpolished and your talking about the graphics being bad? Jak 2 was one of the best looking games on consoles when it came out. Especially for an open world platformer. Greatly detailed character models, HUGE draw distance, great light effects, no load times, diverse environments large in scale, tons of polygons on the screen. The textures might have been bland, but it worked out well due to it being a cartoonish type of game and it was beautifully colored. Thumbs down for you.
Jak 2 wasn't that hard you guys. There are maybe 2 or 3, maybe 4 missions that you can consider difficult. Jak 2 is the best in the serious IMO. Great action, platforming, story, level design, characters, and so on. Jak and Daxter I love to death when it came out. I just loved the open world design, but looking back at it now it was a bit too easy. Jak 3 had too much driving, the level design wasn't as great, and although it was cool to see some of the areas from Jak 2, it was too much ofthesame
jak and daxter tpl was way too ez and was one of those games where if you know what to do, you could beat it in like 10 hours. jak II was one of the harder games i've ever played and every time you die... you gotta start the ENTIRE MISSION OVER! Where are the checkpoints? It was so frustrating jak 3: was a bit shorter but it was more like taking jak II and making it less frustrating. My fav of the series.
@cookieraider126 I don't know what verison of the game you were playing I had some problems with Jak 2 the difficulty was unblanced in that game. Even expert platformers told me they had problems with some missions in that game. The artifact at the water slums was the hardest for me because of those guards left and right and don't get me wrong I liked the diffcultly but some of these mission were very fustrating.
That's an awfully ignorant statement. Some games are meant to have a story that unfolds with your help, some games revolve around gameplay, and some games are a mix of both. It's wrong to try to force all games to be the same in difficulty when they're going in different directions, for different audiences, conveying different senses of entertainment.
Well you see mr. review if your any good at driving a zommer, like i am and millions of ppl are, you wont have that problem. I think Jak 2 is a better game. NOT SAYING jak 3 isn't i think jak 3 is bloody awesome and i for one think jak 2 and 3 are the best games on the platform. Nice review minus constanlty bashing jak 2
yeah, i mean all the call of duty games, battlefields, medal of honor,etc they last arround 6 hours, (4 if you are experienced) and ign doesn't see nothing wrong with that and they give them 8s and 9s up the ass! Games this days seems to be made for multiplayer, and is one of the problems that is ruining the industry
10 hours as well? Most games nowadays I complete the latest game in like 3-4 hours :L Fucking, CoD. 2-3 hours. Bioshock Infinite? Completed it in 2 sittings D: 3-4 hours? I'm so bad at pacing myself, I just want to progress all of the time because rich story is fulfilling
@hypothesies1 You can, but it's best o play through it all honestly. Jak 3 is the crowning achievement of the series - but Jak 2 is close behind it. I personally didn't care that much for the first. The story is kind of important though. It's all one arc.
Games now are piece of crap easy. The last challenging game I played was on 6th gen. Yes, I know Demons and Dark Souls are hard but besides that, what other games this gen are truly challenging?
well i was thinking if you go for 100% would take a while. I remember back when I was a kid, rushing the game to the end was literally 2-4 hours... Especially because you could skip half the places.
This game's biggest problem is that it is too easy. Maybe its because i'm a veteran at these games who likes hard games but i'm dissappointed that i'm not dieing on every mission, multiple times.
The comment is 2 years old. I was really stupid. Could we just forget, what i said? Today im a big fan of jak 1! Im really up for a pepsi and want you to forgive me for my stupid comment
sonic gets a little tuff, the first Gears of war was kinda hard but i mean ur right on psn they have that capcom arcade cabinet they had to put a casual mode on it what the heck.
jak 2 was painfully hard on ps2 as a kid i was nearly in tears playing it lol but i beat and now that i have hd collection all 3 is like playing jak 1 XD 3 easy plattys.
Back then we didn't play so much so it looked longer and nowadays we finish everything in one day. I find the shortest games to be fps campaigns for obvious reasons.
huh. I guess I probably included all the times when I was either eating something or using the bathroom. Idk the game just felt a bit longer than 5 hours. O.o
It took me a couple months to beat Jak 2 on my first playthrough just out of sheer frustration. However, after playing through it again recently, I really appreciated the story and the challenge of the game and got a real sense of satisfaction when beating the game. There definitely needs to be more games like Jak 2
"10 hours doesn't seem like a whole lot"
Oh boy... Times have REALLY changed
Lord GabeN lol yup
6 years later and it’s only gotten worse.
Jak 3 is heaven compared to Jak ii. So much more forgiving.

Jak 2 to me is the better game and story, but Jak 3 is the most fun to play cause it isn't near as hard. lol

Same thing happened in Ratchet And Clank series. RAC 2 was kindda too hard but RAC 3 was a tonned down so I enjoyed it more :D

why do people complain how hard jak 3 is? i was 12 yr old when i played this beat it in 2 days first try -_-
Naughty Dog should develop a Jak and Daxter game for the PS4. I would buy the new console just for that.
If games were difficoult I would be frustarated with every game taht's what difficulty levels are for Ehh
I broke my copy of Jak 3 :( WORST.THING.EVER :( I might buy my brother a new one for his birthday though!
No i got it 100% and beat it in that amount of time. Its all thanks to TheCodBrothersGamings guide!!!
They added this 6 months ago because IGN didn't have a youtube account in 2004. I mean... who did...
Back in the day a 15hour campaign was considert short, now all the games are max 7h or something, pff
Only thing i hate about the games is that they dont offer enough closure at the end of them
I never played Jak 3. I made it quite far in Jak II until the missions got MURDEROUSLY hard
@cickmore12 some people say the jak and daxter series is hard i don't know why they say that
the only thing i really dislike in the jak & daxter series is the lack of replay value.
If they do decide to make another jak game i fkn hope there isn't a gay titan suit in it
ill tell you what though the final driving segment in jak3 is def jak 2 level hard lol
I dont why people say jak 2 is so hard I don't think so I beat when I was like 6 or 7
