Jak X: Combat Racing

'Jak X' is less about platforming and story, more about speed, chaos, and explosive vehicular combat. Think 'Twisted Metal' meets 'Jak & Daxter'. The tracks are mostly creative, the weapons are satisfying, and the races are challenging enough to keep completionists busy hunting medals and upgrades.

The game still carries the series' signature charm, with Jak, Daxter, and the supporting cast injecting humour and personality into every cutscene. Voice acting and animation are solid, giving the spin-off a familiar feel despite the shift in gameplay. Everything feels polished: cars handle well, the combat feels weighty, and tracks are visually varied and inventive.

It's not a deep narrative experience, and longtime fans might miss traditional platforming, but as a fun, high-octane diversion it works brilliantly. 'Jak X' proves that even outside its main series, 'Jak & Daxter' can deliver thrills, laughs, and just enough challenge to keep you coming back for more mayhem.

Jak hits the streets yet again with his furry friend Daxter but this time with a twist. You still have fun shooting you're enemies and earning precursor orbs but this time you do this while driving around trying to win first place. But it's not all straight forward racing. Sometimes it's a race to gain the highest amount of points before time runs out or shoot you're opponents before they shot you and much, much more. Though you start off with two cars, you can earn more cars as you progress through the game and change the style and colour of your cars. There are a few new characters in this game and they slip in fine with the older characters. The story line is good enough and easy to understand. The graphics however, have to be the best. There's nothing more satisfying than watching you're opponents being shot up in the air and being shot to pieces! Overall, this is a must for and Jak fans but as I said before it is different from the previous games so you may or may not be let down by this game.
