Damn, it's sad to see how insignificant Banjo-Kazooie has become. I guess the long wait between sequels made everyone forget about the bird and bear duo.

Rare's last truly great game was Starfox Adventures, IMO. All downhill since then.

I would not be surprised if MS decided to close its doors soon.

Heh. I cut them off before that, around Banjo-Twooie (an above-average, but not great, game). I liked the original Viva Pinata, but that's about all that I've enjoyed from Rare in the past decade or so. Which makes me sad...

Wow Groucho, you like SFA? I thought I was the only one... >_>

 

Noname, even if you don't absolutely love Banjo-Tooie so much, can't you at least spell it's title correctly? :P

 

SFA was one of my favorite GC games.  I have a lot of great GC games.  Backwards compatibility, and the super low power requirements, are the main reasons I replaced my GC with a Wii.  That's also one of the reasons I'm not too excited about the rerelease thing Nintendo has going.  Although I think all those folks who didn't enjoy the GC (as I did) will appreciate it.

Lord alone knows why they decided to screw with a winning formula.
The game is soooo boring.

Same here... I couldn't make it throught the goddamn demo...

Never! I shall take the pun even further than Rare. That's how committed I am!

I found it a funny, but not all that fun, game. I found myself rushing through it just to get to the next cutscene/joke, and the fact that you can "jump" straight to certain sections meant I was never tempted to replay it in full ever again.

Shame. Had some damn good multiplayer, back in the day.

And it did the Matrix and D-Day sequences before that sort of thing was so commonplace.

Man, that game was funny.

Lies!

Did you play the XBOX version or the 64 version?
