Not completely unexpected, but it does sound like a lot of these reviewers don't/wouldn't like Banjo-Kazooie. The game looks good to me and most of the complaints in the reviews I read are not cause for concern. Some people just seem to think BK is outdated, I think it's better than almost any game that released this gen.

Old Rare fans are probably the whiniest of all console gamers. "You people don't appreciate these amazing games, you're all wrong! WHAAAA!!!" Bear in mind I've been playing Rare games since the NES days, but I've never been a big fan of their N64 games (KI Gold and Blast Corps were pretty good though).

All this talk about Yooka Laylee got me in the mood to try BK again (via Rare Replay). I spent almost two hours with it and I can appreciate some aspects, but its still boring to me. Its slow, the core gameplay is tedious, the combat is clunky, swimming is a nightmare, the camera is frustrating, etc. I just don't like this game and forcing myself to continue collecting crap isn't gonna change that.

I don't even think BK is outdated, it was always just boring to a lot of us. Meanwhile I can think of numerous N64 games that hold up well.

I'm not sure if that was directed at me (I assume it was since you quoted me) but I don't see how me loving Banjo is whining? Rare fans can't have opinions?
