Diddy Kong Racing was actually pretty good, didn't like Blast Corps though :S

Conker and PD0 are still coming out - that's all that matters to me. DK64 and the others were nice diversions but PD and Conker were the best of the bunch.

Oh and rare usually make silly, small and quirky games early on in a consoles life (Blast Corps, Diddy Kong Racing, Killer Instinct etc).

Given time Rare will be great again., it's still an investment.

Hmmm.

I wouldn't say they've gone 'crap' as such.

But that is pretty pathetic, and why the hell would Kameo be canned so late?!

It's a great shame that Rare seem to have gone crap.

Muh.

Although It's Mr Pants will rock... probably.

Rare might as well be saying, "We just can't make games any more."

Kameo being canned so far into development is a bit random. And Perfect Dark and the other title not being out until Xbox 2... hmm, I wonder if they'll actually ever be released.

And yes, Ghoulies was crap.

AND Rare are making some quite good GBA games right now.

Waste of money for Microsoft? Great steal of money from Nintendo? Big yes on both occasions.
