![]() ![]() 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.
