A challenging racing game

Strengths: Some fast paced racing with lot of destruction

Weakness: Can be hard at times

This is one game in Jak & Dexter series which goes totally in a different direction. The focus is on racing this time & what a racing atmosphere it is. You can do a lot of destruction & the combat controls can be a little difficult to master while controlling the speed & avoid getting hit. But once you get it - it is extremely satisfying to blow up stuff There are a lot of different racing modes...

JAK X

Strengths: great graphics, good story

Weakness: some of later unlockable cars are not very good

JAK X COMBAT RACING is a car racing game for the PS2. The game’s story takes place after Jak 2, where our heroes go for a reading of Krew’s will, who was their enemy in the first game. Without spoiling the story, certain events take place that require Jak and Daxter to have to enter an extremely dangerous death race in which they must emerge victorious or suffer fatal consequences. This game...

Not Perfect But Still A Solid Combat Racer

Strengths: Good Story, Plenty of Extras, Lots of Modes, Online Play

Weakness: Can Be Unbalanced At Times

Jak X: Combat Racing is a racing game and much like on the Playstation were Naughty Dog made 3 platformers for Crash Bandicoot then a racing game it has made a racing game for Jak after 3 platforming games on the Playstation 2. The game itself mostly focuses on weapons as while racing good is helpful it isn't nearly as important as it would be in a simulation type racing game like Gran Turismo....

Mario Kart...Jak style

Strengths: Fun racing/gunning, nice story elements

Weakness: Why is Jak in a racing game?

I feel this is a very solid, very fun racing game. The combat lends it an almost Mario Kart feel. I also liked that there is a story that adds to the overall mythos, and isn't just tacked on. Finally, if you have Daxter on PSP, you can link them to unlock some cool stuff. A nice touch, and one I hope continues in PS3 games. My only real gripe is I wish it was another platformer, as that's where...

Jak X Combat Racing

Remember Crash Bandicoot? Naughty Dog created the little marsupial that would eventually become Sony's PlayStation poster boy. His first shirtless adventure was so successful it quickly spawned a second, Cortex Strikes Back. Later came Warped, the third and most highly acclaimed Crash. But after three Crashes, Naughty Dog lost interest and decided to take its furiously spinning freak into a new...

Jak X: Combat Racing

Naughty Dog has a thing for trilogies. They tied up the last bits of the Crash Bandicoot series with Crash 3, then passed the torch to Vivendi. Prior to the passing they made one last game: Crash Team Racing. Mario, Sonic and other mascot characters had starred in their own racer – why shouldn't Crash have the same luxury? Naughty Dog released the third Jak game last fall. Rumors quickly spread...
