The second level takes place in an abandoned mine shaft and featured traditional Jak & Daxter platforming elements as well as showing off the game's weapon systems and the new Light Eco moves for Jak. Also, the mission is short and doesn't drag on endlessly, making it look like more emphasis is being put on the platforming areas of the game. The dune buggy handled great, solving one of the biggest issues I had with the vehicles in Jak 2. However, this part of the demo is very short and more fun than I expected. To be honest, I wasn't all that happy to see that the first demo mission took place in a vehicle since it was one of the elements that I disliked in the second game. His mission is to hunt down four giant metal heads and eliminate him. The first mission involves Jak driving around a desert area in a dune buggy. The demo showcases just a few of the different game play modes that will be found in the game. Eventually the leaders of Spartus City begin to see Jak as a savior. After his banishment, Jak, with Daxter and Pecker in tow, are near death when a group of nomads find the trio and bring them to Spartus City. As it turns out, the Dark Eco contamination he helped cause didn't sit well with the ruling council.
The game opens in the aftermath of Jak 2 with Jak banished to the desert surrounding Haven City. Judging from the brief three level demo of Jak III, it looks like the game is still heading in the same direction as the second installment, but is also returning to many of the elements that made the original so much fun.
As I said in my closing thoughts, it was like the girlfriend who looks great and does everything right but is more concerned with following the latest trends than being herself. It was still a fun, well put together game - but it felt so different from the original that it never felt right. I am a big fan of the Jak & Daxter series, but was less than anamored with the direction Jak 2 took when compared to the original.
