Game Description
Jak X: Combat Racing takes the high-speed chaos of vehicular combat and fuses it with the world, characters, and attitude of the Jak and Daxter universe. Released in 2005 for the PlayStation 2, this adrenaline-fueled racing game puts players behind the wheel of customizable combat vehicles loaded with machine guns, rockets, and turbo boosts. When Jak and his friends are poisoned after a mysterious invitation to Kras City, they must race in deadly tournaments to earn the antidote and uncover the truth behind their host’s sinister plan.
Developed by Naughty Dog and published by Sony Computer Entertainment, Jak X: Combat Racing delivers an explosive mix of arcade racing and tactical vehicle combat. Every race is a balance of speed and survival, demanding precision driving, weapon management, and quick reflexes. With beautifully detailed environments, full voice acting, and cinematic storytelling, the game successfully transformed a platforming franchise into a pulse-pounding racing experience that retained the series’ personality and lore.
As a spin-off to the critically acclaimed Jak and Daxter trilogy, Jak X pushes the boundaries of the PS2 hardware with its sharp visuals, detailed physics, and seamless integration of story and competition. It’s a showcase of Naughty Dog’s technical mastery, blending humor, tension, and style into one of the most distinctive combat racers of its generation. For collectors and fans alike, it remains one of the console’s most exciting genre crossovers.

Historical Trivia or Fun Fact
Jak X: Combat Racing was Naughty Dog’s final PlayStation 2 title before the studio transitioned to PlayStation 3 development. It marked the end of an era for the Jak and Daxter series, blending the tone of Jak 3 with a completely new gameplay genre. The game was praised for its production value, personality, and ability to expand the series’ universe without losing its signature humor and cinematic flair.
Over time, Jak X became one of the most collectible PS2 exclusives due to its connection to a landmark PlayStation franchise. Its influence can be seen in later vehicular combat titles that embraced storytelling alongside speed. For fans of Twisted Metal, Crash Team Racing, or Burnout, it remains a must-own title that perfectly captures Naughty Dog’s golden era on the PlayStation 2.
