Signature-worthy, so I think it's pretty good :P
Like everyone mentions, J&D is when Naughty Dog really grew into their status as "among the best in the business", in my opinion. Combined the carefree fun of Crash with some more grown up storytelling, beautiful cutscenes and grand scale, etc. etc.
Series wasn't afraid to shake things up either. Chances are you'll find something you like in there. Either the enjoyable collecting of #1, the free roaming mission based #2, or the combined elements of #3. I like them all equally really, though possibly I'd tip 3 off as my favourite.
