Even the hoverboard returns, though it's as slow and relatively unexciting as before. Healing comes in handy, but beyond that only flight is useful, and that's introduced in the final hours. Jak 3 also introduces "Light Jak" abilities. The Dark powers are equally optional there's one you need to a use a few times near the end, but that's about it. There are now three variations of each of the four guns, but one of the first guns is so powerful that there's almost no need to use the others.
The morphing guns and "Dark Jak" powers are back, but not without some changes.
What's This For, Again? As the third and last game of the series, Jak 3 brings with it a lot of gameplay baggage. There'll probably be a few grizzled old Jak II vets who grumble about the modest decline in challenge, but there's no denying that Jak 3 is a better-balanced game. Happily, Jak 3 has a much smoother difficulty curve which does a pretty good job of avoiding those dreaded "spikes." In fact, the game as a whole is much more forgiving, with many more mid-mission respawn points, an ever-increasing life meter, and few of those near-instant kills that made Jak II's city missions so frustrating. Speaking of aggravating cities, another sticking point of Jak II was its off-and-on difficulty - it's the only game where one of my co-workers has ever asked me to get them past a section. In any case, they're not nearly as troublesome as they were before. Or maybe the cities are just a silly idea inspired by GTA3 and now the series is stuck with them. Perhaps Naughty Dog is making an artistic statement about life in the wasteland being cheap. You can feel free to kill as many citizens as you like, as they often drop power-ups and ammo.
Hundreds of generic NPCs still roam both, but with Jak II's Krimson Guard missing in action, they now have even less of an effect on the game. While Jak 3 actually has two cities, Spartus is very simple in layout, while Haven, thanks to the ongoing war, has been decreased in size and somewhat streamlined. Another big complaint about Jak II was its pointless and annoying-to-navigate city, and that has also been remedied somewhat.
