Jak IV

Jak IV is an action/adventure-platformer game developed by Naughty Dog exclusively for the PlayStation 3. It is the fifth and final game in the franchise's main series. The game is a sequel to the series' previous game, Jak and Daxter: The Lost Frontier.

Gameplay
The overall gameplay of Jak IV is surprisingly fresh since it combines the gameplay elements from all the previous games. Not only can the player use weapons, but he/she can also use the power of Eco, which was a main element in the first game, Jak and Daxter: The Precursor Legacy. The player can drive zoomers and other vehicles once again, and the Jetboard returns as well, with more unique expanisions to its abilities and movement. Weapon-usage has also greatly expanded in the game, whereas the player can use more than just their average Morph-Gun. The weapons vary from Eco-Pistols to melee weapons such as Eco-Swords and other improvised objects like Pipes. The game also features a greatly expanded "open-world" enviorment, and movement is not as stiff.

Missions vary greatly and can offer different abilities for Jak to use, and there are even some missions where Daxter must be called upon to use his skills, a feature that was barely presented in Jaks II and 3.

Plot
The game begins with a narrative of Samos describing how darkness is the greatest enemy a man must face in his lifetime, and how it can slowly kill him and affect the others around him, and then there is an overview of a completely destroyed Haven City. Afterwards, there are several short clips of the destruction while the credits play. The final clip is the Naughty Ottsel, damaged and collapsed. Jak then walks into the frame, with a blaster in his hand, ready for an attack. He then is surprised by the appearance of Daxter popping out of a nearby crashed zoomer, stating "he felt safe" inside it. Jak then orders him to get on his shoulder, as they have a lot of travelling to do. While walking the wrecked streets of the city, Jak and Daxter hear a loud roar coming from ahead of them. Daxter warns Jak about going any further, and as the latter finishes his sentence, a monster with large spikes on its back and long claws sees the duo and roars again. Jak cocks his blaster and prepares for battle, then the screen goes white, and we see an overview of Spargus.
