Storyline

One year after the events in Jak 3, Jak and Daxter take up professional racing in a place called Kras City. Joined by their old friends, they are summoned by a woman named Rayne, who is...Krew's daughter? She apologizes to them for her father's actions, and proposes a toast in his memory. She takes out an odd-looking wine bottle, which she said that Krew instructed in his will that his closest associates must drink. After they all take a glass, Rayne brings out a hologram projector, which broadcasts his last message to Jak and company. Krew announces that the wine they drank is poisoned, follow by a maniacal laugh. The only way they can get the antidote is to win Kras City's big vehicle race, in his honor. And so, Jak and Daxter, Ashelin, Torn, Keira, and Sig are pitted against each other in combat racing for the ultimate prize: their life.

Quotes

Pecker: The winner here will move one step closer to qualifying for the big championship race.
G.T. Blitz: But that step could be right off a cliff. UR-86 has never lost in this event before and the crowd is screaming for another mechanical mashing here today. Look at '86's confidence, his poise, his game face is just rock solid.
Pecker: Yeah, well he's a robot. What do you expect?

User Reviews

Not you're usual Sunday drive.

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.
