Dark and mature are two different things. The story wasen't deeper or suddenly talking about adult stuff, neither were the characters. It was just a darker univers, pretty much like POP Warrior Within compare to POP SOT. And in Jak2 case, the art used was just generic. Your average futuristic dark city seens in many games.... whohooo. At least, indeed the gameplay was good.
More stuff in Jak3 ? Right. Good stuff ? I don't think so. Bad pace, arsenal coming from Ratchet, useless GTA Hub approach...
What's obvious is that the serie lost itself, leaning more and more toward Ratchet shooting approach, but in a less efficient and original way. Might be the reason Ratchet remained stable and ended up with more sales than Jak...
