I don't think Rare has gotten worse at all. I just think they haven't gotten any better. If Viva Pinata and Kameo were N64 games they would have been welcomed with open arms I think. Competition has just gotten toughter and Rare isn't 2 steps ahead of the rest of the world any longer like the used to be. I think their output during the N64 days was greater than Nintendo could hope to achieve then, and that's a damn near impossible task to one up Nintendo on their own console.
