| curl-6 said: As someone who didn't grow up with it and didn't play it til much later, I just couldn't get into MK64, the handling felt like trying to control a roomba with a fridge on top of it and it wasn't as vibrant as other entries with its more muddy colour palette. The mix of 2D sprite characters with 3D environments was also jarring and incongruous. |
I can agree with 3D/sprite mix. Even back then I thought that looked kind of weird, especially when there’s a view in an angle they didn’t have a sprite for in the correct perspective, like at the award ceremony. I guess they just couldn’t do it fully in 3D yet, though Diddy Kong Racing managed to do it not that long after. Only a very minor nuisance to me however.
Also, “incongruous”; they say you’ll learn something new every day, so I guess this word is it for me today.
