This is a sub-page of Proto:Jak 3.

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

A demo version of the game with a build date of August 24 2004, compared to the final game's date of September 30 2004. It was included with Issue 87 of the Official US PlayStation Magazine and in multiple issues of the UK Official PlayStation 2 Magazine. It was also released as a standalone disc.

Maps

A number of world maps contained in WOMAP.STR are placeholders or have differences to the final game's maps. The maps for Southern Haven Forest, Monk Temple, Great Volcano, Spargus, the Dark Maker ship during the "Destroy dark ship" mission and the Catacombs placeholder are identical to the final game, although they go unused in the demo. The map for the Metal Head cave during the "Destroy metal-pedes in nest" mission and the empty map for "Map data unavailable" are not present in demo.

Placeholders

All the placeholders were also present in the August 5 demo and are documented further on its page.
