Like others have said, putting this thread together has really driven home for me how insanely on fire Rare was in their prime. (Add the three DKC game on SNES to this as well) They really were the best developer on the planet at this time, in my opinion.
As for the best, I gotta give it to Banjo Kazooie. From its memorable and atmospheric worlds, to its quirky charm, to its scale and variety which were almost unmatched at the time, it's just a towering triumph, and remained by #1 game of all time for many years.
