I agree with this review for the most part. I was really hoping the combat would have more depth. Like you said it doesn't evolve much past what it is early on. And the air Dust Storm/Fidget combo becomes a bit too effective and an easy way to get through battles later on. It is still a lot of fun, but not as great as I'd hoped.

But I love the artstyle. The story is better and more involved than I thought it would be. The rpg and exploration elements are well done. And overall I really loved the game. And it really is an amazing accomplishment for one guy to do most of this. Anyway great review. I had been meaning to check it out since I finished the game.

The soundtrack and visuals made this purchase worthwhile for me. Might be the best selection of skins and music for the main mode in the series. I've been loving it.

I tried this and it was neat to use some of the Vita's different inputs. Didn't feel like I needed the game though after playing the demo. I think as a pack-in to all the systems that would have been pretty sweet though.

I am so jealous right now. I am holding out until next week to save myself a bit of money. Going to try and make good on that Buy 2 Get 1 Free deal at Target too. This extra week waiting is going to be rough though! Have fun with the Vita.

Not too impressed by what I have seen so far of this game, but will keep an eye on it. Hope it turns out well as I enjoy the series. Would love a cool FPS to play on the Vita.

These are my favorite games. I have always ranked them similar to how you do. Liking 3 slightly more than 1 and then 2 the least though I still liked it a lot. Am almost done with Jak II on the Collection now and think it is better than I recalled. There are some really great missions outside the city, but boy getting around the city and some of the missions in it are a miss. Looking forward to replaying Jak 3.

I enjoyed this game. I think the combat does feel better, but I am not sure the boss fights as a whole are as good as the first's (though they are pretty sweet too). I miss the co-op campaign, but think I may get more hours out of the survival mode which I think is a lot of fun. Me and a friend were already trying to unlock some of the extra characters. As a whole I think the game is a step-up from the first. Great review!

Yeah, it is clear that they were going in a bad direction based on that article/video. Kind of a shame they would go in that direction when bringing it back instead of making something more in line with the PS2 games. Oh well. I would have liked to see a new one, but it doesn't seem like making a new one is something they really wanted to do right now.

Can't wait for this game. Getting it and the Vita at launch.

This is the only way I can make sense of it at the moment. Probably just 2 player co-op in the various campaign modes, but six in some kind of Mercenary-esque mode.
