Jak 3 is a video game for Sony's PlayStation 2 console developed by Naughty Dog. Although touted as the final game in the acclaimed Jak and Daxter series, it has inspired a further spinoff in Jak X: Combat Racing, as well as Daxter, which is on Sony's PlayStation Portable system. One year has passed since Jak and Daxter saved Haven City from Kor and the Metal Head armies, yet Haven still finds itself consumed with chaos as three separate groups fight for control of the city streets. Amidst the chaos, rumors surrounding Jak's involvement with Krew and Kor begin to spread, and concurrently a general distrust of his dark powers grows to an all-time high-the citizens of Haven now blame Jak for the turmoil their city has found itself in. After a surprise attack on the city's palace, Count Veger, the High Council's power broker, initiates a successful action which by order of the Grand Council and despite protests, for "heinous acts and crimes against the people," banishes Jak for life to the unforgiving desert island outside the city's protective walls called the Wasteland.

Easter Eggs

Jak's New Clothes
Simply obtain all 600 Precursor Orbs to obtain different colored clothes for Jak. The message, "Congratulation! You found all 600 Precursor Orbs. Enjoy Jak's stylish new duds" will appear on the screen to confirm this.

Glitches

Skip Missions in Hero Mode
You can skip some of the starting missions in hero mode. First, turn on the turbo jetboard secret. Then, use the jetboard to jump from island to island by executing the L1 high jump and a forward flip.

Unlimited/Easy Precursor Orbs
Go to any oracle statue and trade metal head skull gems to start an orb search challenge. Go to the orb and wait for the clock to turn to 00:00. Even though it says 00:00, it takes another second for the time to run out (I.E. 00:00 is really 00:00.100) So wait one more second, and then press Square to dash at the orb as soon as time runs out and the mission failed screen comes up. You will get 3 orbs, and be able to retry!

Secrets

Easy Timed Challenges
You can use Light Jak's time freezing ability to slow down the clock during challenges while you move around at normal speed.

Easy win on Hang Time challenge
In the mission when you must get a high hang time. Instead of doing it the standard way by using jumps in your buggy, get out of your buggy and use the mass invertor; it will get you an automatic gold in total hang time (you may have to use the gun more than once) and single hang time.

Have unlimited Precursor Orbs Secrets
Let's say you have collected 5 Precursor Orbs and you want all three Level Selects, copy the file with 5 precursor orbs 3 times into the remaining save slots, and activate Act 1 Level Select in the first file. Then activate Act 2 Level Select in the second. Then activate Act 3 Level Select in the third file, and now you can have all three Level Selects!

NOTE: This trick can be used for the other secrets also.

No Damage from Big Falls
When you fall from a high place, kick (Circle) shortly before you hit the ground and you won't take any damage from the fall.

i think the cheat where you get to collect the same orbs in hero mode that you have already collected in the normal game mode is cool because if you collect all 600 orbs in the normal mode then collect all 600 orbs in hero mode you should be able to have 1200/600 orbs!
