Worst game on the 64. Merely because it RUINED a good name.

I think Rare are very odd. They'll do what they want.
I heard a rumour that Rare didn't realise they had the GC development kit for quite a while. I think someone contacted them about it. Apparently people at Rare were heard to say "oh THAT's what's in that box".
Nobody had bothered to open the box!
Now I don't know if they were winding Nintendo up or what. But it's a funny story.

I enjoyed it, I wouldn't go as far as saying I loved it.

I liked it. Didn't think the multi was up to much.

The thing is, names mean nothing to me in the games industry, it’s about producing the goods that count.
Rare were fantastic on the N64, I enjoyed all of their games, especially GoldenEye, Perfect Dark, Blast Corps and DK64, but they need to produce the goods again to show they are still worthy of our praise and our cash.
Though I have yet to play it, Star Fox Adventures was criticised across a broad range of places, so their Nintendo swansong wasn’t what we were expecting from the old masters which is a big shame as it leaves a sour taste in the mouths of many fans. I do hope their Xbox games are great, but we’ll have to wait and see if they’re still just riding on their reputations or not. If they’re not good, it’ll show how important Nintendo really were to them.

TGM, you forgot about Acclaim. Their bad patch lasted up until the N64 was released. The N64 really sorted Acclaim out. No wonder they love Ninty so much!
Rare have their hearts in the right place. The have bad blood with Nintendo now. I think Nintendo pressured them on release dates etc towards the end of the N64. Rare are perfectionists. They are where they want to be and they shall produce the goods.

Far from that.
Infact, Rare are still riding on the success of Goldeneye and Conker. These were games that are over four years old. Remember that Conker was complete for the N64 in 1998, (called back then Twelve Tales). It was merely altered by a new team and delayed until they included all the funny bits.
Tis true. The new Rare then spent years on Starfox. Which was worse than crap.
