"Jak and Daxter 100% Disappointment"

I have to say I am a bit let down by Jak and Daxter.

Let me start by saying that it is a great game, great playability.. etc.

My gripe is that I beat the game a few days ago (without 101 power cells) and got a nice ending scene (no spoilers in this post)...
Then I went back and after some effort managed to get all required power cells, and got a slightly different ending.

So I thought that if I collected each and every precursor orb that I would get some sort of 'ultimate ending'. After a lot of frustrated backtracking and searching I have now completed the game with everything collected (i.e. 100% rating), but there is no different ending for this achievement.

So my question to you is why bother collecting everything ? It really doesn't reward the player to do so, and by going through the process of collecting everything I have now become sick of Jak and Daxter, and will probably never play it again !!

Would it have been too much trouble to add another different ending ?
Rare usually do this in games (look at DK64 for example).....

Thoughts ?

the game was very satisfying (maybe too satisfying) the only downfall was the length, maybe it just felt fun because it was so short.

does it not give you satisfaction and self rewrard to complete the game 100%..i have finished GTA3 but still need a few hours more to fully complete it...im sure i will be more than happy when this happens

Maybe you get to play as Daxter, that would be cool.

it wasnt a very long game, but I think it seemed shorter because I couldn't stop playing it!

well it is a great game just very short (short but sweet)

You said about whats the point in getting power orbs, well you trade them to get power cells.

No. You're just used to Nintendo standard.

That's because they're not usually on a Playstation! :-)

Jak and Daxter is surperb but the game just grinds to a halt, I thought going back for all the power cells was a good way to increase the life span of the game but when I saw what happened after i did, I was VERY dissapointed :-(

I think J&D was great but as you said KevD getting 100% isnt rewarded. It would be good if we got another new ending.
