This is a sub-page of Proto:Jak II.

This page is rather stubbly and could use some expansion.
Are you a bad enough dude to rescue this article?

To do:

  • Many music differences.
  • Different enemy death sound.
  • Some pause menu sounds are absent.

A review build which is exactly one week older than the final build. Therefore, most differences are minor.

General#

  • The Secrets Menu has three Scrap Books whereas the final build has two.

Prototype

Final

  • Hero mode is accessible from the start of the game.
  • The Blaster's firing sound is used as a placeholder sound effect for Dark Blast.
  • The mission timer has seconds pushed slightly to the right.
  • The Health/Dark Eco meter is different. This version of the meter exists in the final build, but Jak's head covers it.

Prototype

Final

  • The Whack-A-Metal minigame is called "Wak-A-Metal" in the High Scores menu.

Music#

  • The metal-pede escape segments of the mission "Escort Sig in Underport" use the track DANGER1.MUS which is unused in the final game.
  • The Missions "Blow up Strip Mine Eco Wells" and "Destroy Ship at Drill Platform" use STRIP.MUS, rather than DANGER10.MUS and DANGER4.MUS respectively.
  • The Tank segments in "Blow up Ammo at Fortress" do not use DANGER11.MUS, instead a variation of SEWER.MUS is used.
  • The spider chase in "Pass the Second Test of Manhood" uses DANGER2.MUS, which is unused in the final game.
  • The mission "Intercept Tanker" uses BATTLE.MUS instead of DANGER9.MUS.

Debug Functions#

Cheat Mode#

Cheat mode includes the same features as the final build, but has a shorter activation sequence:

  • First part: while holding down L3 press (using the D-Pad): Up, Up, Down, Down, Left, Right, Left, Right.
  • Second part: while holding down L3 press (using the D-Pad): Left, Left, Right, Right, Up, Down, Up, Down.
