this is a description os a new rare game for the x box
GRABBED BY THE GHOULIES
A cel-shaded comedy beat 'em up action adventure with the classic 'rescue the gal' storyline. Nice! You play a young chap named Cooper braving a jaunt through a haunted mansion riddled with monsters and booby-traps. There's plenty of variety amongst these foul creatures: spectres, mummies, vampires, undead skeletons and poltergeists are all poised to thwart the plucky young adventurer. Despite the kiddie visuals, Rare is confident that players will be spooked by this hideous house of horrors.
1) hmmm a cel shaded adventure where you have to rescue the girl - errrr sound familiar oh yes thats zelda ww
2)you play through a haunted mansion - errr sound familiar, oh yes thats luigis mansion
3) and they even have the audasity to call the guy cooper (koopa) anyone???
cough 'rip off' cough

rare rarely make a bad game. i remember the first helping I had, donkey kong on the SNES. wicked. and golden eye, and perfect dark, two of the best games ever as far as I'm concerned.
give them a chance, wait til the games are released

Donkey Kong was a horrible mess of things. They tried to make it bigger, and they ended up just making it too confusing.
Jet Force Gemini was good, although the multiplayer was terrible.

im not saying it looks like it, i havent seen teh screen shots, but the idea is a little too similar, a cel shaded rescue a girl adventure in a haunted mansion and a guy called cooper (koopa) has to fight his way past ghosts. its either one big coincidence or one big rip off.

I like to think of the rare games as evolutions. I don't want to play exactly the same game with a new graphics set. I want new options.
You missed one
Donkey kong: preffered it to mario because i got to shoot things and the JFG inspired multi characters and character specific items/tokens were a good idea
But DKR was awful and i haven't played Star fox adv or banjo. although banjo 2 had a quake style multi, i would've like that in mario. so by default banjo 2 has a better multi!
Basically aslong they hurry up with PD and conker, the other games can be dire

Yeah, Banjo and DKR were great; but if only allowed one of each I would certainly take Mario 64 and Mario Kart over them.
And SFA was just rubbish..
