Donkey Kong Country 123 (23 basically a rehash of 1) 3 of the greatest plateformers ever

Banjo KazooieDonkey Kong 64 (Mario 64 collectathon clones) Banjo is still a reference

Perfect DarkGolden Eye (They're the same game basically...Appaling blurry graphics, the pioneer in console deathmatch tomfoolery...but does that make them good?...I got hooked on smoking but that isn't quality) You obviously have NO IDEA what you are talking about

Killer Instinct (This really was rubbish, characters were all bland, ridiculous combo system...just a bland fighter with no soul really. Do you remember "Primal Rage"?) Fresh and so well designed game, with excellent system

Hahaha at this subject. Funny

Also, why did you forget to mention these all time classics :

Battletoads

Conker's bad fur Day : never equaled

Jet Force Gemini

Starfox Adventure

and now Viva Pinata

rare is a great dev and still is, kameo was a good game and viva pinata was a great game, and the new banjo looks awesome. killer instinct was a great series and if rumors are true than a 3rd in the series is on the way. either way i love the dev and still believe they will continue to wow me for a long time too come. its just my opinion on rare, but my friends and family all agree with me.

Rare is pretty crappy now, but back in the N64 and the days before it, they were amazing.

As in go buy us some coffee.

It never crossed my mind until...About half an hour ago when I read one of those "Top 100 over-rated games" things...

Anyway, I noticed RARE had quite a few games on the list (virtually every game they've made to be honest)...I did some more searching and found another list with most their games on again...

Hmmm....

These were the games...

Donkey Kong Country 123 (23 basically a rehash of 1)

Banjo KazooieDonkey Kong 64 (Mario 64 collectathon clones)

Perfect DarkGolden Eye (They're the same game basically...Appaling blurry graphics, the pioneer in console deathmatch tomfoolery...but does that make them good?...I got hooked on smoking but that isn't quality)

Killer Instinct (This really was rubbish, characters were all bland, ridiculous combo system...just a bland fighter with no soul really. Do you remember "Primal Rage"?)

Kameo (Pretty dull if you ask me, nice graphics though...Definately shows strong signs of being one of those launch titles everyone thinks is great on release...Then years later they realise it was actually mediocre and generic)

This isn't my opinion, well a couple of lines are. I've elaborated the point a little, can't find the source now...But really, I'm just curious what you guys think. I'm inclined to agree that a lot of them really are over hyped over rate titles that on release got much more credit than they deserved...

Don't get me wrong, I'm not saying they are "rubbish". I really enjoyed DKC 1 on the SNES years ago...But maybe I enjoyed it because everyone else did? I was only 12-13 I think at the time maybe a little younger so...

Opionions?

They got the credit they deserve.

How many cups of darkness have I drank over the years? Even I don't know...
