Jak 3 features new technology including Ragdoll Physics, which allows gamers to observe a unique death for each enemy that is killed, cloth dynamics, Wasteland terrain renderer, revamped spooling and memory management scheme, and massively overhauled rigid-body physics system. The Titan Suit and Jetboard has returned to provide Jak and Daxter additional ways to get around their dangerous surroundings. After a Metal Head attack destroyed the palace and demolished the majority of the city, players will notice some major aesthetic differences that will alter gameplay. Haven City has changed dramatically since players last saw it. All of Jak's weapons from Jak II return with the addition of two devastating upgrades for each gun type. Dark Jak powers also return, as Jak must find a balance between Light Eco and Dark Eco. Together, Jak and Daxter: The Precursor Legacy and Jak II have sold more than 2.5 million units worldwide, both playing a part in revolutionizing the action platform genre. Now that Jak has been exposed to Light Eco, players can transform themselves into Light Jak, with amazing new abilities including a move that allows Jak to glide with the addition of large angelic wings. Created and developed by Naughty Dog, Jak 3 is the teams follow-up to their best-selling title, Jak II TM and their Greatest Hits PlayStation2 debut title, Jak and Daxter: The Precursor Legacy. Not only will players take on the role of Jak, they can also play as Daxter, who has an extended role within the game during level-specific areas. All feature complex, simulated vehicle physics and come equipped with weapons. Vehicles play a large role in the game, as Jak and Daxter will unlock a variety of vehicles, including off-road transportation. True to the Jak and Daxter franchise, players will be immediately thrown into a compelling storyline, fast-paced action and seamless adventure. The new Wasteland features a desert with multiple areas, including a mine, volcano and the desert city of Spargus that is home to fierce inhabitants. Players will also find a cast of both new and familiar characters that will slowly be revealed as Jak and Daxter begin another adventure that will leave them fighting for their lives. An action-adventure game featuring story-based missions that integrate a dynamic plot with gameplay, the city's new look is just the first surprise in Jak 3 as the game unveils more guns, vehicles, additional dark powers and the introduction of light powers. Given the enormity and variance in terrain, vehicles play a large role as off-road transportation is introduced, fueled by a true-to-life physics engine. 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.
