I can now understand why some people hate/love this game. I'm somewhat between this line. I find this game challenging, complex, and really, really annoying!!!
I mean, the things people hate i agree... the fact you always have to do a mission from the beginning if you die, even if you are one step from winning, the fact that literally die by just walking... the fact that shooting in this game is a like hell without aiming... yeah... there were moments where i really wanted to punch this game...
But to be fair what really annoyed me the most where two things:
-First, the plot. I mean... God, this plot is stupid... it fells like i am the only one fighting in the resistance, sometimes it fells like there is no resistance. Really, where are the rest of the warriors? I won this war on my own. And the whole twist about past and future in the end really makes no sense... If samos is from the future, how is keira from the past? And the Metal-head leader? Why didn't he kill me when he had the chance? It pisses me off because, it didn't felt like a history, it felt like , well, a game. Some stuff where just waaaaay too convenient...
Second the final boss... that one really annoyed me mostly because people says Jak II is better than jak 3. Remember the last boss in Jak 3? Where you have to run in the desert and follow a giant spider-like machine, and shooting it's legs? That was awesome! Remember the last boss in Jak II? Where is just, shoot, dodge the attack and shoot... again, and again, and again... yeah... that pissed me off...
So yeah... i didn't like the style of jak II, i still think Jak 3 is better but i just can't hate this game. It's really hard sometimes, but maybe most of the ps2 games are just too easy... you know... like Jak and Daxter. The main problem is that dying is like breathing in this game, it gets really repetitive after a while... but i still like some of the creativeness of some levels, i love the over-board missions,i loved the mission where you have to cross a field of soldiers by shooting, it felt like one of Stallone's old action movies...
In fact, most of the game felt like an action movie... (you could beat this game with just the yellow gun...)
It was worthy? Yes. Would i do it again? No...
I still love Jak 3 more, i loved the desert missions, the light jak, the new powers for the dark jak, the plot, the cars, the upgraded guns... God i miss Jak 3...:cry:
