Aww bless, Tiltawhirl likes Star Fox, and likes Rare games. But then I read:

Hohohoho.

Mayhap we can live without the Rare influence?

What was wrong with DK64!?
It was technically amazing and greta fun as well. Strange British people...

Doom was on the SNES?

News to me

That's EXACTLY what I was going to say.
I think that Nintendo and Rare don't work the same way anymore.

Starfox shows 3 years work with beautiful graphics and majestic atmosphere that blew people away with initial impressions, only the game itself is dodgy, partly down to Rare and Nintendo trying to take it in different directions.

Rare do their own thing best.
It's just a pity that evidence of Nintendo and Rare being unable to work together properly is all we have to remember them by...

Unless we go buy an Xbox! :-)

It matters a bit but I think Metroid Prime says it all.

Rare aren't the 1st person shooter team that they used to be, fact is nearly all of the the Goldeneye team have left so I don't see them coming up with anything that special compared to Halo and Metroid Prime.

Banjo on the other hand is a loss Nintendo IMO could have done without.

didnt the goldeneye team split... no wonder PD wasnt that good.

I told you people but you wouldnt listen.

Lylat Wars - Linear, boring, easy and no challenge.
Starfox "Lylat Wars 2" - exactly the same.

*shakes head*
Glad I wised up

lylat wars was brilliant the sequel should be even better

Yes, I am saying exactly that. I never played perfect dark, because I didn't like the look of it. The sequel will be no exception. The only Rare game I ever really enjoyed was Goldeneye. Everything since has been, in my humble opinion, a step backwards.

I do not own, nor ever will own an XBOX. Unless they get a stream of fantastic exclusives - like 15-20 of them. ie - enough to make me not want my gamecube.

all i can say is metroid blows HALO away and bill gates into the unknown. gah newbie talk.

You ponce!

Games made by different company in a different way.
Lylat Wars is a space shoot em up by Nintendo.
This is a Zelda style adventure by Rare/Nintendo.

Having said that, if you're REALLY looking forward to Lylat Wars 2 (seeing how much you LOVED the N64 original), Namco are making it. :-)
