Well that's what I heard, so it must be the person who told me it who's speaking total garbage. How am I to know about the new games if I don't even get Nintendo magazines? Anyway when's this new StarFox game coming out?

The game wasn't completley re-worked... a year and a half to add some space sections and develop for a higher format does not ruin 3 and a half years development time.
Look Conker took 4.5 years to appear...
This is the worlds sloppiest developer.

Nope, you said they playability of the controls, meaning how well the controls of the game play, eg. the control system which was ripped from Zelda.
You didn't mean the gameplay, which is what I was talking about.
So basically not what you said.
*You* mong.

you speak total garbage!!
the donkey kong series is owned by NINTENDO, they made the first donkey kong games, but i doubt you have heard of them(here's a tip, the first was called "donkey kong"). this was long before Rare started making them, they just took over game production for the SNES games.
therefore, bill gates has NO control whatsoever over donkey kong or starfox(there is a starfox game being made by namco at this very moment...i think its namco)(donkey konga just came out in japan, are you just an idiot for not knowing?)
yes, the banjo-kazooie game on GBA was made by rare, they are still making game boy games.
i sincerely hope this was a wind-up, because nobody could honestly be this stupid.

No, where it was let down was in the boring repetitive and unimaginative gameplay. And the playability of the controls.

No, where it was let down was in the boring repetitive and unimaginative gameplay. And the playability of the controls.

It was completely re-worked during the last year and a half.
It was the end that was rushed.
They didn't stop to think and brush up the playability of the controls, in the spaceship and land, which is where the game was let down.
The graphics and effects showed where the last 2 years of Gamecube devellopment had gone.
As to Rare's other games.
Some of them were a bit hit and miss, but the misses were where they tried to copy Nintendo.
Starfox trying to be Zelda, Donkey Kong 64 trying to be Mario 64.
In the Goldeneye Vs Perfect Dark argument, as Goldeneye was the original, Perfect Dark was NEVER going to blow people away in the same way.
But other than a few mis-haps in level design, the game was fantastic.
Yeah there was slowdown, but only when there was splitscreen AND several CPU controlled AI bots running around.
Goldeneye suffered from slowdown in just 4 player mode sometimes, and in the singe player mode too.
I'd say the Perfect Dark was a bigger improvement over Goldeneye than Windwaker over Orcarina and Rare didn't need a more powerful system to do it! :-P
