Dec 16, 201210This might just be nostalgia talking, but the game is an amazing game that is very well done. Of course there's going to be flaws, but it's an example of a proper third person platforming shooter done to a tee. There's even a good storyline to follow, this series will forever be a huge part of the PS2 library and truly shows the prime of Naughty Dog.

JamesJun 7, 200510Great game, not as good as the best in the series jak II but still amazing. All the way through i couldn't wait to the end and enjoyed (most of) the missions throughout! There are some tedious ones, e.g. pressing x, square, circle and triangle in time but apart from that magic. I'm now going back to play jak II...

DevinM.Mar 9, 20067Their are some funparts in this otherwise repetative, mundane game. The story lack coherance and the gameplay really isn't that exciting, however it does have really nice graphics and the story and missions get more exicting in the last two hours of the game.

GarethNov 4, 20059The second best action/adventure your PS2 grabbin mitts can get their hands on. Second only to MSG3, which, lets face it, there is no shame in at all. Stunning graphics, great game play and a good story far surpass the slightly anoying very end, which is its only let down. Please play to the end however to see some of the most well designed levels for a good long while in video games.

BryanS.Jan 26, 20059I got this game for Christmas, after I had beaten the two previous Jak and Daxter games. I beat it within a month, because you just keep coming back to play it. personnaly, I think that it could have been harder, but it is still a great game. I give it a 9 out 0f 10.

LukeA.Jul 23, 200510This game is the most awesome game ever! It is such a cool game! It has good graphics and great gameplay! I don't know how those can give this game a 50. This is by far the best game I have ever played!

Mr.pokeGuyJan 6, 200610Great game stunning graphics. Great story, and sums up the whole trilogy. THe only thing that annoyed me was the part where you had to shoot the gems off of Erol's spider machine..... Awsome but Jak II is very close. Another improvement is the extra gun upgrades i really liked the supernova over the peacemaker.

JacobFeb 1, 20069It was a good game, though rather short. And it is a pretty satisfying ending to the trilogy of games, but it also is a letdown that the whole series is over. Other than that, the graphics were great and it's story line was tied together well with the other Jak games.

RagingOrcaApr 21, 20075Absolutely loved game 1 and game 2 but this game was a big disappointment. The amount of developer effort in order to realize such a compelling open world is all totally wasted by extremely poorly tuned missions and gameplay mechanics. Had to stop playing after only 1.5 hours because it was so frustrating.

[Anonymous]Nov 14, 200410I don't know what some off these people are smoking giving JAK3 a 60. This game is awesome! There are 12 guns, you can slow down time, drive sand buggys, and tons of other stuff. I LOVE THIS GAME.

JamesM.Jul 26, 20078Really fun, hard but fun, you usually had to do each challenge more then 2 times to get it. Other wise its really fun for some mature gamers.

Apr 29, 20118It's a step further than Naughty Dog's last attempt at mimmicking the Ratcher and Clank series. Pros: Again, fantastic graphics; more variety of gameplay, weapons, and level design; funny dialog; overall, it's increasingly better than Jak II. Cons: It still lacks the originality the very first game was shrouded in; the vehicle levels can be frustratingly difficult due to poor control.
-
Mar 24, 20118Although this isn't the best Jak game, it still does not dissapoint. The gameplay mechanics are the same, meaning its great, and there are even more guns. The graphics are great and the storyline is well thought out. Great game, it just doesn't feel as fresh as Jak 2.
-
May 22, 20118Though it will never be as good as The Precursor Legacy, Jak 3 is certainly an improvement over its predecessor. Pros: Gorgeous graphics; slick controls; solid platforming and lots of action-adventure elements; challenging. Cons: Still unoriginal; under-utilizes some of the gameplay features; limited level design.
-
Apr 20, 20118Still a good platformer but nowhere near as good as the first and second game in the jak and daxter series.

Nov 19, 201110This game is the essence of my childhood, I must have played it 10 times. Its a little late to be writing a review but I feel that its important to tell people how great this game is! Everything is perfect mystery, sci-fi, comedy, action and of course solid gameplay

May 7, 201210One of the best PS2 games of all time. Jak 3 conclude's the epic tale of the series with a few twists. I wish they were still making games like this because its one of the most funniest games I've ever played.
-
Aug 22, 20125It's an improvement over Jak II but you can't break the messed up story line that Naughty Dog made up from the top of their stupid heads.
Although I would say that the art style has been improved and the racing parts have been improved it's still in the same world as Jak II and it sucks. -
Sep 25, 20128I do think this was an improvement over Jak 3. Still some problems are present like not being able to use your weapons properly. but it a good improvement, more weapons, fun vehicles, nice world, with a nice final boss. not quite as fun as Ratchet and Clank up your arsenal, or sly 2 both which came out the same year. but still an amazing game.

Jan 9, 201310The story in the game, is great as always and it follows well Jak II. Cutscenes are funny and amazingly well made. Gameplay is as good as in Jak II. Now Jak has more guns and they are better. I think, that the game has more platforming sections, and that is only a good thing. Jak 3 is an incredibly great game. Naughty Dog, make Jak and Daxter 4.
-
Feb 25, 20138The worst in the series in my opinion. I highly recommend this game however, it has a lot to do and the fact you get to play as Daxter more is kind of fun I guess. But I will admit whenever you do play as Daxter you always kind of wish you were playing as Jak. This is one of the best games on the Playstation 2.
-
May 16, 20135The game is pretty fun, although the camera angle is really bad plus the depth perception is terrible. You can barely see whats ahead of you leaving you vulnerable of walking over a ledge.
-
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.
-
90Daxter'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.
-
90Despite 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]
