Line 4:
The third installment of the ''[[Jak and Daxter]]'' franchise.
The game starts as Jak is banished into the Wasteland from the now falling apart Haven City, which is caught up in a massive war between the remaining Krimzon Guard robots and the surviving Metal Heads. He copes by in the desert refuge known as Spargus, ruled by Damas, the former ruler of Haven City prior to being booted out by Baron Praxis. He quickly gains the respect of the Wastelanders, while gaining a new Light Jak form along the way, and returns to Haven to help with the war effort--but not long after discovers a much, '''much''' [[It Got Worse|bigger threat]] to the world than anything before that was foreshadowed throughout the game--specifically, {{spoiler|a race of Dark Eco corrupted Precursors, known as "Dark Makers"}}, have found Jak's world and hope to terraform it into the very dark and twisted world Jak barely stopped it from becoming in the first game--along with the help of {{spoiler|the former leader of the Krimzon Guard, Errol, who was nearly killed in an eco explosion in the previous game, but resurrected as an [[Ax Crazy]], genocidal cyborg to aid the Dark Makers in their quest}}.
After yet another long journey, with even more crazy plot twists than before (but what do you expect when the game was [http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0377339/ directed by the same woman] who wrote the [[Legacy of Kain]] series? ), Jak saves the world yet again, wrapping the storyline of all three games and giving our heroes a [[Grand Finale|satisfying conclusion]]. Like the previous games, the game was universally well received and was a hit in sales.
Line 16:
* [[Already Undone for You]]: Veger manages to get through many of the same areas as Jak, including the [[Temple of Doom|Precursor Temple]] and the ruins of the palace. Possibly justified in the first example because he was with Seem, so the monks probably have their own [[Death Trap]]-free passages to go through, but how the hell did he manage to get through the ruins, which were crawling with {{spoiler|Dark Makers}}?
** Considering he had access to a giant fireball launching weapon, it wouldn't be hard to guess that he just fought his way to that point. This also means that {{spoiler|Veger killed Damas.}}
* [[
* [[All Deserts Have Cacti]]: The Wasteland.
* [[And Your Reward Is Clothes]]: Daxter ''finally'' gets his pants at the end of the game.
** Also, you get the original Jak outfit if you collect all 600 orbs.
* [[Anti-Hero]]: Jak likes causing chaos and occasionally loses his temper, but since his opponents are usually [[
* [[Arbitrary Gun Power]]: Justified in most examples, since what you're shooting usually has super-strong armor.
* [[Ask a Stupid Question]]: Happens early when our heroes meet Kleiver:
Line 34:
* [[Attack of the 50-Foot Whatever]]: The Terraformers.
* [[Awesome but Impractical]]: The [[Gatling Good|Vulcan Fury]] upgrades; the Arc Wielder and the Needle Lazer are cool to watch, but the AW is surprisingly weak in damage output and while the Needle Lazer uses very strong homing needles, it and it's counterpart chew up ammo just as fast as the Vulcan Fury.
** However, you can buy the "Robot Shock" upgrade for the Arc Wielder, which drastically increases its effectiveness against KG Bots.
* [[Awesome Yet Practical]]: Light Jak's shield move, which protects you well and chews up little Light Eco as a bonus. The Hellcat Cruiser.
* [[Background Boss]]: Veger's Precursor Robot and the {{spoiler|second part of the Terraformer battle}}.
Line 92:
* [[Cybernetics Eat Your Soul]]: {{spoiler|Apparently what happened to Cyber-Errol between this game and the previous one.}}
* [[Dark Is Evil]]: Dark Eco, the Metal Heads, {{spoiler|the Dark Makers}}...KnightTemplar or not, Count Veger is at least justified in his hatred of Dark Eco. Jak's [[Super-Powered Evil Side]] ends up as a [[Subverted Trope|''subversion''.]] (See below}
* [[Dark Is Not Evil]]: Jak is the exception, and even he needed Light Eco to counter its worse effects. Even still, Jak's [[Hero]] status is overlooked by Count Veger.
* [[Deadly Training Area]]: There is sort of a gladiator pit with periodically rising, deadly lava, and guys that swing their pointy, deadly swords at Jak.
* [[Death Course]]: Most of the areas in the game.
* [[Decapitated Army]]: Not in the game itself, but Metal Kor seemed to be this in Jak II, since the Metal Head raid on Haven City was stopped after his death. [[Subverted Trope|Then we learn almost immediately that the strongest Metal Heads have survived and come back with a vengeance.]]
Line 239:
* [[Techno Babble]] - Tess spits out a run-on sentence about one of her [[BFG|BFGs]]. Cue shot of Jak and Daxter with a "Bwuh?" look on their faces.
* [[Techno Wreckage]]: North Town is severely damaged and completely abandoned save for the scorpion Metal Heads. See also [[Scenery Gorn]].
* [[Temporary Platform]]: Everywhere.
* [[The Battle Didn't Count]]: {{spoiler|Cyber-Errol}} escapes the first time you beat him, but it has the effect of shutting down the War Factory.
* [[The Dev Team Thinks of Everything]]: After you reach the end the sewer you access within North Town, the pipes you hop across to reach the part of the sewer that leads you into the Metal Head side of the city will be constantly shooting out poisonous gas. Even if you cheat and use invincibility to bypass them, the door leading to that part of the sewer won't open, thus preventing any sequence breaking.
Line 265:
* [[Vitriolic Best Buds]]: Daxter and Pecker do not get on very well, but are unambiguously on the same side.
* {{spoiler|[[What Happened to the Mouse?|What Happened To The Metal Heads?]] }}
* [[What Measure Is a Non-Human?]]: Possibly the logic behind making the KG Robots major enemies {{spoiler|and Cyber-Errol}}, though the robots are little more than killing machines and in any case they're [[
* [[Wide Open Sandbox]]
* [[Womb Level]] - The deepest part of the Metal Head nest under the volcano. Also the Metal Head section of the city and the Metal Head tower.
