Throwing the numbering system into Arbitraryland, 2005's Jak X also discards a number of other things from the previous games, i.e. everything but the racing aspect of 3. Still, the game makes no bones about what it is: a minigame gone big time. As such, it's perfectly serviceable, and a welcome continuation for those craving more Jak stories.
Jak and compatriates are invited to Kras City for the reading of a will. Krew (see Jak II) has invited a number of his former employees and contacts to join his daughter for a celebratory drink in Krew's honor. Unfortunately, the wine is poisoned and the only way to get the antidote is to win the Kras City Racing Championship. Their lives may be on the line, but the competition won't take anything lying down, as the control of the city's crime syndicate is also up for grabs. Facing off against the shadowy, never-seen crime lord Mizo, his top racer Razer, and constantly in the public eye courtesy of television personality G. T. Blitz, Jak and co. will need more than luck to pull through.
