My feelings about Rare is that they were rarely original, but then again who is these days. They were good at taking other's ideas and polishing the hell out of them and injecting their own characters, style and sense of humour. In some instances i think they outshined their inspirations, in others they didn't. I never played KI much and i felt DK 64 failed to match Banjo but the other games on that list were grade A. In most instances the only games that were better than Rare's were Nintendo's own and Rare had the advantage of addressing genres that the Big N didn't.
