Jak X: Combat Racing review:
After coming across a preview for Jak X: Combat Racing on the show X-Play, I immediately thought that this would simply be an average racing title contrived only to cash in on the hugely popular success of the Jak and Daxter franchise. As such, I had no previous interest in purchasing it, that is until I came across Sam Goody's "going out of business sale", and saw a copy of that very title sitting on the shelf for $15.99, on clearance from $40. In the end, the collector and bargain shopper in me cried out and I found myself sitting at home in front of the television ready to try out a new game, and I am very happy to say that this is one instance where my first impression didn't become my last.
Taking pointers from franchise racers of the past (Mario Kart and Crash Team Racing, among others), Jak X lets you play as one of our favorite platforming heroes, in both offline and online modes, as you race your way through the mean city streets and scorching deserts around Kras City, as if your life depended on it. Because in Jak X, it does.
