Stop everything! Jak 3!!!!

(tags game, PlayStation 2, Jak, purchase, ECsite)

Oh boy oh boy Jak 3 is here! (^_^)/ I'll be dropping everything for a while ;-)

I thought I had to go to the post office to get it but it was in my mailbox (lets see, Sunday to Thursday night from Hong Kong to Kobe, not bad). I thought it might not start because it was "FOR KOREA ONLY" but it plays on my Japanese PS2 (It says "Printed in Japan", fer crying out loud). I thought there was no English option but I found it! Yes Yes YES!

What is this unfinished Jak 1 game doing in my PS2? (toss) You're gone.

Of course I already started the game... Voice actors are excellent. Daxter is off the wall and Jak is that gritty voice that kills me. Control is excellent, vehicles handle cool, excellent graphics. I'm lovin' it!

I'm about 45 minutes in, doing the race against other monks. What is it about these Jak style minigames that seem so hard in the beginning, and then so easy once you get used to them?

Now about the only thing I need to do right now before getting back into the game is watch the intro (before pressing Start). I wasn't able to watch in English. Maybe I can find it on the official site. No, the other official site, right here. Sweet. Best not get too ahead of myself here, though, there's more movies available here that I've seen in game.

<voice="jak,gritty">Bring 'em on.</voice> It's Jak time.

(edit: second official site link, Jak 1 mention, "handle")
