Jak X takes a note from the Crash series and hits the highway in a great racing game from Naughty Dog. The game is strictly racing so even Jak fans may want to Rent before Buying. I like this game better than any other combat racer out there but it does not have anything on "Mario Kart:Double Dash". As far as the PS2 goes it is one of the best on the system so this will probably be a must have if you are limited to the PS2. The story still has some funny Daxter humor. Gameplay and graphics have the same feel as Jak 3 without the on-foot(so sad). Multiplayer is included this time around though with online or split-screen modes so there is plenty of replay ability. This one is worth a pick-up but probably just a rental for most. Great job Naughty Dog. 4/5
We've all experienced bad games, and I had had my doubts against this one, but this was not any typical racing game. With many ties into the story line of the other Jak games, and even some secrets from other Naughty Dog productions, this game defied the "I bet my car can turn left faster than your car" mentality of the average racing game. Featuring everything from arena death matchs, timed rallies, to high-stakes cup races - this is a game with a lot of action crammed in every turn. The game features many vehicles which can be unlocked along the way, and a variety of different ways to customize them, but if there is any real perk of owning this game, it would have to be the amazingly awesome multiplayer. Go head to head against your friends in any style of race, match, or ralley you preffer while using virtually every character from the Jak series (who knows, save up some points and you may even see other Naughty Dog characters drop into the cast list).Read full review
Good graphics, great speed, radar is easy, weapons selection is easy, and you can buld up your car and make it tougher as you go and score more "orbs". My son had his car all tricked out - he had everything available. I didn't have anything - I got whupped.... But, it did take a couple of weeks for him to get that ONE car completed, and there are many more cars, characters, and tracks. There are ice tracks, dirt tracks, different games you can play on those tracks, tunnels where you can do a barrel roll accros the ceiling and drive upside down if your boosters are firing. Fun game - jumps, speed, weapons, time limits - it has it all.
This is one fun and funny game to play. You have cars that you get from preset and can get more when you progress through the game. The customization of the cars you do have make for some pretty wild rides. The cast is about the same with some game exclusive characters. The voices and story play are all great and have some great tracks/players too. The vehicle upgrades are standard upgrades to the vehicles armor,speed,and acceleration. The weapons are intuitive for this caliber type game and make quite a selection. You can go from rockets to machine guns to grenades to 1st place killer orbs. That is only the little bit of weapons available for the front. The back you can get killer gas to mines to pop up mines to oil slicks. Then they go ever more dangerous when your dark ego is all full causing even more damage. The racing is good and a little identical to Burnout but with weapons. You have modes from time trial to drone deathmatch to deathmatch to artifact pick up. This is a solid game that delivers a solid punch to racing games.Read full review
I bought this game for 2 reasons. We (as in my whole family) love the Jack and Dax series of games and my boys (and I am including my hubby in (my boys):P) love racing games. Well, I ended up loving it too. You can choose to play the way the game is progamed to run which still gives you options onces you start wining races. In regular mode you can buy upgrades for your car, even before you start winning certain upgrades, like paint, are free. Also in regular mode you can buy enough ugrades to get your car to the point that its almost untouchable if you use the credit right.;) There is another mode where you have more options. Like which character to use as driver, which track to drive on, what weaponds will be available, and one or two players? These are just some of the choises you are given. The only thing I don't like ablut this game is that it takes up a lot of room on a memory card. So if you have two big games like say this game and Dark Cloud or one of the lego games. You can't save them both on the same memory card. You have to have a different memory card for each memory eating game.Read full review
