|gameinfo          = Jak 3 combines elements from a variety of genres, including driving, adventure, action, puzzle, strategy, and exploration. The story begins with Jak's banishment to the Wasteland, a desert environment five times the size of Haven City, with multiple areas, including mines and a volcano. Given the expansiveness and variance in terrain, vehicles play a large role in each mission. The game unveils more vehicles, guns, and dark powers and introduces light powers. As Jak and Daxter fight for their lives, both new and familiar characters will slowly be revealed.<br />

|Comments=Game constantly speeds up and slows down without speedhacks enabled. Once enabled, game runs perfectly fine except for a few small areas. Music is tied to FPS, so will constantly stutter along with the framerate. Setting VU Cycle Stealing to 2 runs the game okay except it slows to about 2 fps in certain sections. Level 3 causes choppy gameplay but seems to resolve most if not all major slowdown. Finished the game without any major instabilities, though mostly minor but some major graphical issues are still present in hardware mode. Use OpenGL as DirectX causes long shadows.
