Are Rare really as great as we make out? Should we really honour these english developers?

Sure they have had hits but look at all the misses...
Killer Instinct wasn't great, Blast Corps was alright but will never set the world alight (Unless you mean literally of course), Diddy Kong racing was also good but was never Mario kart and all the Rare Platformers to date have never been as good as Nintendo's own efforts.

So are Rare really that good then? Of course they are.

Where would first person shooters be without Goldeneye? Rare's platformers may not be as good as Nintendo's but is anybodys as good as Nintendo's?

Rare do make class games and these (inparticular Playstation owners) people who believe Rare are just another developer are wrong. Rare seem to be a baby Nintendo and one day maybe even as good as these Japanese giants.

So Rare are one of the greatest companys in the world and that is final.
