Everytime I start to have great fun again it gets dragged back down by some sort of oversight or poor decision. It's still a good game at the end of the day, but the massive tonal shift accompanied by awful driving, frustrating difficulty with punishing health/checkpointing, and awkward story REALLY get in the way. At least, from what I can tell, I should enjoy Jak 3 more.

While it takes some deviations from the last game, Ratchet & Clank 3 is more or less a continuation of where 2 left off. More linear and mission-based gameplay pops up, which while takes away somewhat, it also makes the game a tight and driven march forward. This does result in less natural build-up to upgrades and secrets as you are pushed forwards, not helped by optional backtracking being mostly reserved for the endgame. However, great fun much like the first two games makes this a joy, even if it falls into some of the same traps.
