This product is like new. At NexWave Games, like new means:
Additionally, all discs at NexWave Games are carefully inspected and assessed for quality. When discs arrive, we do not accept any that are so badly damaged that they are unlikely to work. We only accept discs with light scratches at most. Discs with scratches are then treated in our professional disc repair machine. By warming the disc and polishing it with soft brushes, these machines can remove a very thin layer from the disc. This removes the layer containing surface scratches and improves the disc’s readability. This ensures the disc works properly, even on consoles with ageing lasers that have difficulty reading games! Great news for the player.
Jak and Daxter Trilogy for PlayStation 3
Jak and Daxter Trilogy for PlayStation 3 contains Jak and Daxter: The Precursor Legacy, Jak II: Renegade and Jak 3. The three solo adventures follow Jak and his talkative friend Daxter. In the first, a fall into Dark Eco turns Daxter into an ottsel. Searching for a cure takes them through villages, beaches and dangerous areas. You jump, investigate side paths and collect Power Cells and Precursor Orbs to progress.
Jak II moves to Haven City and adds guns, city missions and a hoverboard. Earlier movement remains useful, but you also react to traffic, guards and ranged combat. Jak 3 expands into desert terrain with off-road vehicles. Play thus changes clearly across the campaigns, from exploration and collecting towards a broader combination of platforming, shooting and driving.
The PS3 adaptation brings the three stories onto one Blu-ray with HD visuals and trophies. Campaigns are separate and single-player; Daxter’s presence does not mean local co-operation. Collectibles and challenges offer goals beyond the direct story route. This trilogy contains the first three main adventures named above. Jak X and the separate Daxter game are not included: the package follows Jak’s consecutive development.
Region and language
Our PlayStation 3 games are European editions and come with a Dutch or English box, unless stated otherwise. By default, you receive the version for the European market. We note it in the product details if the region is different or the box is in another language. In almost all cases, the game is playable at least in English, and often in the other five common European languages too.
Manual
Jak and Daxter Trilogy for PlayStation 3 includes the manual unless the product title states otherwise. If the booklet is missing, the title says “No Manual”. This lets you see before ordering whether the game comes with a manual.
The manuals included with our games usually contain at least English and often around six European languages. The exact languages vary by edition, so Dutch is not always included. The booklet explains the controls and the main rules. You can use it to check how to control the game, which actions are available and how its different features work.
The history of Jak and Daxter Trilogy
Naughty Dog began the series in 2001 with Jak and Daxter: The Precursor Legacy for PlayStation 2. Villages and platform areas connected movement and collecting with progress. Jak II in 2003 chose a darker urban setting with guns and more varied missions. Jak 3 followed in 2004 with desert areas and vehicles. Together they form a continuing story that also shows different design directions.
Sony released the trilogy for PlayStation 3 in 2012. Mass Media worked with Naughty Dog on the HD conversion. The three original campaigns gained refreshed presentation and trophies, adding recognition to familiar collecting goals. A new fourth story did not replace the contents. The aim was to preserve the consecutive adventures together and replay their connections on one console, from Daxter’s transformation to Jak’s later events.
European rollout occurred in February 2012 with differences between countries and stores, so this history emphasises the year. The collection is also called Jak and Daxter Collection; Jak II uses the Renegade subtitle in Europe. This page concerns the PS3 disc and Mass Media remasters, not later Vita or PlayStation editions with other features. Collecting, urban action and desert driving remain the three campaigns’ distinguishing designs.
Similar games for PlayStation 3
Ratchet & Clank: Tools of Destruction shares colourful worlds, platforming and combat. It is one original PS3 adventure built around buying and developing odd weapons. Jak Trilogy presents three earlier campaigns with larger structural changes. From Power Cells to Haven City and desert driving, Jak develops differently from Ratchet’s planetary Tachyon journey.
Ratchet & Clank: Quest for Booty uses its wrench and glowing objects in a short standalone pirate adventure. Jak’s collection spans three full stories with more environment and vehicle types. Both examine routes, but Quest develops fewer ideas intensively. Jak shows how the format changed over several sequels.
Ratchet & Clank: A Crack in Time alternates shooting with Clank’s time puzzles, recording actions to happen together later. Jak Trilogy expands platforming through Eco, guns, hoverboard and vehicles. Both combine abilities in a story, but a recorded puzzle plan needs different preparation from a city task or desert drive.
Ratchet & Clank: All 4 One builds its campaign around up to four people sharing a screen, each local human needing a PS3 controller. Jak’s three stories are solo even with Daxter beside him. Humour and platforming overlap, but All 4 One divides tasks between people while Jak has one switch movement, weapons and vehicles.
Ratchet & Clank Trilogy also remasters three PS2 adventures for PS3. Ratchet consistently emphasises planets, gadgets and buying weapons. Jak begins with more collecting and later moves towards urban action and desert vehicles. Both follow a duo’s growth, but their tools for exploring and progressing differ.
