i've always thought Banjo Nuts & Bolts did a really good job of capturing the essence of 90s Rare renders in realtime 3D. really impressive stuff for 2005 hardware, easily the best looking game on the system.

it's an aesthetic choice. they could have given him a round nose if they really wanted to, but the game is "building" themed so all of the characters are kind of blocky and polygonal. regardless, the textures, lighting effects and general color scheme of the world are near identical to N64 renders. screenshots can't really do it justice but you have to admit this does a pretty damn good job of replicating that 90s CG in full 3D, on 2005 hardware no less.
