Make no mistake: Forget San Andreas, Halo, whatever:
Jak 3 is the game of the year
A glance at the massively varying gameplay and landscapes more beautiful than Mischa Barton in caramel yelled into my ear "WAKE UP TO THE NEW WORLD! JAK 2 WAS RUBBISH NEXT TO THIS!"
And it really is. Aside from the excellent story and ingenuitive missions, the attention to detail is simply remarkable. The way it eases you into the gaming experience is truly astounding.
And yet, I yearned for Haven City. Why? I missed the familiarity of it all.
The difficulty curve is not one for the faint hearted. One second I'm driving over flowers in Haven Forest, the next I'm shooting to save the life of me and Jinx (and failing).
One quarrel I do have with the game is its atmosphere. I don't know about the rest of the game, but there's simply no pause for breath at my stage (around 50%). The first was lushious, who can say it wasn't peaceful and relaxing? You can't say that for many games nowadays.
I think my roving in one part of the game for an hour searching for a couple of precursor orbs is testament to its brilliance.
So, can you look me in the eye and tell me you've enjoyed any other game this much in a long, long time? Go on, I dare you.
Haha, irony epitomised.
Anyhoo, hopefully i'll be able to have a blast later. I've had All the Ratchet and All the Jak games and never fnd even all the sly games and never finished one.... ever.
I guess the lack the magic of Mario and Zelda, and what's his name... Tak. haha
*tut*
