Rare made made SFA, GbG, and for GBA they are making a Banjo Kazooie game, and some other GBA game.

Banjo Kazooie: Grunty's Revenge has already been released on the GBA. It was published by THQ. They're currently working on Banjo Pilot, and that Sabretooth game. And more, probably.

Yeah, I can still get my BK fix. Though I was dissapointed with Banjo-Tooie.

Banjo Tooie was a joke. But not as bad as DK64.

I hated that game!

I wonder how Rare will do without Nintendo's guidence... Their first game disapoints..

And without most/all of the employees from the '64 days. A good chunk left Rare after Nintendo traded Rare to MS out of spite, which is understandable.

Annoying characters, slow progress, bad levels, 'old' gameplay (same as SM64, BK....). No Donkey Kong feel.

-More annoying than Kazooie, seriously doubt it

-The game actually progressed quickly, the game was just longer than the others

-Level designs were alright, nothing that was innovative for a platformer.

-Old Gameplay? How was it supposed to be new?

-True Donkey Kong Didn't have the same feel as the original donkey kong country, but did Mario 64 have the same feel as Super Mario World, Super Mario 1,2,3? nope

Apparently better than with it. You can tell when a Rare game had Nintendo's stink on it, and they all ended up being weak. You can see two of the games in your post. The only thing I like about Rare is the only thing Nintendo didn't seem to touch, and that is their First Person Shooters. Therefore, I will save my negative opinion on Rare for when they release a crappy FPS on Xbox.

Well, they have lost a good size of their GE/PD teams. Though that shouldnt hurt them too much. But yeah, BT was just plain dissapointing. BK was much better.

BigJustinW · 12-08-2003, 10:20 PM

I heard they lost almost the whole team who worked on GE before PD was even released... and imo PD still ended up much better than goldeneye. (except for the story, which had no movie to borrow from

)

I'm sure if the few guys who worked on GE could pull off somthing as good as timesplitters, the reamains of the PD team could pull off somthing just as good. The difference is they could rob much more from PD without it being called a rip-off, and this game is exclusive, so they will get more out of the Xbox hardware than TS could ever... but we'll see.

If this game sucks then Nintendo was smart, but if it's good Microsoft is smart.... all that other crap they are coming out with won't be my judge.
