Better than it had any right to be. After coming off of those awful buggy physics from Jak 3, Jak X came back swinging and gave us not only some really enjoyable driving physics, but just a solid combat racer all round. Mostly great track design, fun powerups, and a soundtrack that features EXCELLENT use of Queens of the Stone Age. Jak X is slept on by many for not following the standard formula the series set for itself and while I might have liked a platformer instead, what we got here kicks ass!

Because why the hell not, there's Jak and Daxter racing game. Considering how Naughty Dog's previous franchise went, I guess it makes sense. This is not a kart racer, so don't go in expecting it to play or handle like one. The gameplay is very fast paced and fun, with decent challenge and fun weapons to use. The CPU players can definitely be rather aggressive, but the challenge felt pretty balanced and fair overall. There's plenty of varied game modes to play, alongside very strong track design and a lot of cars you can cosmetically tweak and tune the performance of. Pair this with an incredible heavy rock soundtrack and an entertaining storyline, and you get a robust and well-built package that's very fun to play with plenty of explosions and mayhem to experience. Overall, Jak X is rock-solid and very much worth a play.

The PlayStation 4 port could have used work, mainly when it comes to performance, but when the alternative is running into an auto save bug that could easily nuke my entire Memory Card with 10+ years of save data on it, I'll take the laggy but safe version any day. Plus, the trophies are a nice perk and fun to unlock in this game.

Apprezzato:
-Nulla

Non Apprezzato:
-L'incipit. Davvero di una stupidità disarmante, penso che probabilmente sia il frutto di un brainstorming durato all'incirca 30 secondi.
-Genere. Ok nei precedenti Jak era possibile utilizzare dei veicoli, nel secondo e nel terzo capitolo c'erano anche delle vere e proprie gare con essi ed erano, per me, probabilmente le missioni peggiori del gioco. Fare un gioco incentrato interamente su di esse, senza averle mai fatte decentemente nei capitoli precedenti, è stato totalmente un azzardo, si è visto infatti il risultato.

Conclusioni:
Un gioco davvero terribile, non c'entra nulla con Jak e anche contestualizzato nel mondo dei giochi automobilistici è molto deludente. Consiglio di non perderci del tempo come ho fatto purtroppo io.

Surprised just how fun this is. A lot of it has to do with the insane physics. Similar to CTR, it feels great once you''ve gotten used to the controls and are tearing through races. There are a lot of gameplay modes that keep things from getting stale during the story. Ignoring the auto save bug, my one issue is the Peace Maker weapon being a blue shell item. Using a red eco weapon you can stop any yellow eco weapon from hitting you except the blue shell. It requires specifically a shield to fend off or falling back to second so it changes targets. Soundtrack goes crazy hard and it's nice to have one more adventure with the gang.
