4. Weapons and Power-ups: Throughout the races, players can collect weapons and power-ups that provide offensive and defensive advantages. These items range from basic machine guns and missiles to more unique power-ups like the Freeze Missile and the Shield.

5. Multiplayer Mode: Jak X supports local multiplayer, allowing players to compete against their friends in split-screen races and battle arenas.

6. Vehicle Customization: The game features a vehicle customization system, allowing players to personalize their cars with various skins, decals, and modifications, both for aesthetics and performance.

7. Adventure-Style Presentation: While primarily a racing game, Jak X retains the adventurous and quirky style of the Jak and Daxter series, with humorous dialogue, lively characters, and a light-hearted tone.
