It's been too long since we had a great vehicular combat game, and Jak X delivers some rollicking good multiplayer fun. It just lacks the flair needed to make it a must-buy. [Dec 2005, p.101]

The gameplay variety wasn't always necessary but is a welcome change for the genre – a few more changes with the inevitable Jak X sequel and they could form a new sub-genre.

A healthy collection of on and offline modes and a very satisfying story build real value for the title, but the actual play can sometimes feel a bit lifeless and often suffers from spontaneous swings.

No soy especialmente fan de los juegos de carreras pero jak x me divirtió mucho. Tiene muchos modos de carrera para que no se haga repetitivo y tiene una duración de unas 8-9 horas. Lo disfruté mucho.

Un toque de aire fresco para la saga Jak, un juego de conducción espectacular que tiene una historia sencilla pero a la vez divertida. Lo que más destaca este juego es su banda sonora, es simplemente increíble. En cuanto al control del vehículo depende mucho que tipo de coche/ mejoras tengas aplicadas en el. Pero por lo general la mayoría de los vehículos están muy bien equilibrados, todo eso añadido a que el juego tiene unas físicas espectaculares hacen que sea sumamente satisfactorio conducir. El juego también tiene mucha variedad de modalidades de juego: Carrera clásica, Carrera mortal, Caza deportiva, rally congelado, Captura la bandera, entre otros. Esto hace que no se haga pesado al solo centrarse en un solo modo de juego.

It's very addictive but at the same time very repetitive. In racing, very strange things happen on the part of the enemy AI. History doesn't have much real weight but it's always appreciated that everything is justified. It's a great game but obviously it doesn't reach the level of the trilogy.

Sprinkled between the races are the kinds of cinematic scenes that Jak games have been known for: clever and extremely well animated.

Another fantastic script with more one liners and jokes than should be allowed.

A solid racer with a few minor game balance problems. If you're able to get over them -- which isn't hard -- you'll be looking at a good online and offline kart-style game slammed with the good stuff from the Jak & Daxter universe.

This is not "Jak 4." It's just a kart racer, albeit a quality one with bags of online potential. [Dec 2005, p.106]

Jak X delivers smooth, intense online action and a solid variety of game types, including a take-out-the-drones death race and an entertaining sport hunt in addition to typical races. Nothing spectacular, but satisfying nonetheless.

It's a horrible, cynically produced, soulless and poorly designed racing game that manages to be as equally boring as it is frustrating. [Dec 2005, p.107]

Naughty Dog intento hacer lo mismo que con su otra franquicia, Crash Bandicoot y en parte esa decisión le salio medio regulon comparándola con CTR. Si bien me gusto bastante el juego con cosas como la personalización de los autos, los gráficos increíbles para la época (de hecho, gráficamente es el mejor de la saga), la velocidad en las carreras y muchas cosas para comprar en la tienda, tiene problemas bastante importantes que evitan mas nota. Al principio del juego no hay mucha estrategia, ya que las carreras se pueden ganar simplemente spameando el boton r1 para tirar todas las armas hacia adelante, y después mejorando los autos no se nota mucha diferencia, de hecho, como este juego tiene rubberbanding resulta peor el mejorarlos. La curva de dificultad a veces se dispara y sumado a los controles que son mucho mas robustos y "realistas" a comparación de CTR, dejan un mal sabor de boca ya que las carreras se convierten en tener suerte. Un ejercicio de repetición que frustra a la larga. Tampoco tiene multijugador a pantalla dividida de a 4 jugadores, cosa que es una vergüenza. Es un juego bastante entretenido, pero que pudo dar mucho mas de si.

The game is amazing but it has a bug that f#cks your memorycard leaving it all corrupted

I have always told myself that no game deserves a 0. But this game....this game deserves a 0. How can you get to the good aspects **** when it constantly freezes and corrupts your saved data? Thus causing you to lose everything you have done in it and start anew. Sure the game may be worth a 6 or 7 if this bug never occurred but how can you get to that gameplay if you can't even load a **** race? You can't. And this game deserves to be down there with Duke Nukem Forever and the other pieces of trash developers have pushed out to us.
SummaryAfter Jak stopped the Dark Maker menace in his last adventure, cities were rebuilt, people flourished and sports reemerged to fill the void. Combat Racing became the biggest sport of all, as the excitement of high-speed competition brought crowds to the track. Kras City led the way, with people flocking to the dangerous city of death and... Read More
