I think I want to play this game again after a long 14 years of even thinking about it. What am I in for? Should I play them sequentially?

>>	Anonymous Mon Mar 28 02:44:22 2016 No.3095951 So average it hurts but the mechanics are pretty unique. US character design >>> JP design.

>>	Anonymous Mon Mar 28 02:44:23 2016 No.3095952 I remember I rented the first one from Blockbuster in beat in in about an hour.

>>	Anonymous Mon Mar 28 02:45:24 2016 No.3095954 >>3095952 Don't you unlock the real last level by collecting the crowns?

>>	Anonymous Mon Mar 28 08:30:19 2016 No.3096443 I never knew there was a second game.

>>	Anonymous Mon Mar 28 22:00:11 2016 No.3098228 >>3096443 Second game is so much better.

>>	Anonymous Mon Mar 28 22:09:03 2016 No.3098238 >>3098228 This. The parasol floating and the improved tongue control really make the first one look weak in comparison.

>>	Anonymous Mon Mar 28 22:31:22 2016 No.3098280 Playing 1 for the first time right now. These ants are fucking annoying, but I enjoy the level design. BGM is fun too

>>	Anonymous Tue Mar 29 05:14:33 2016 No.3098826 >>3098228 The first one is like a prototype, the second one is truly fleshed out with good gameplay. Anyone else feel like these games are what Ristar: The Shooting Star would have been like in 3D?

>>	Anonymous Tue Mar 29 06:57:09 2016 No.3098912 >>3095949 It´s like the mario galaxy yoshi segments. Pritty good

>>	Anonymous Tue Mar 29 21:48:50 2016 No.3100858 This was easily the best of the Gex trilogy. Loved it.

>>	Anonymous Tue Mar 29 22:14:41 2016 No.3100904 >fuck you I liked it: The Game I don't know why I have SUCH a fondness for these two, they really are kind of hard to praise especially in comparison to other 3D platformers, but damn if they're not just...cozy, I guess.

>>	Anonymous Tue Mar 29 22:47:14 2016 No.3100964 >>3100858 kek >>3100904 They're quintessentially rental titles. But as far as 5th gen rental titles go, they're pretty top tier.

>>	Anonymous Wed Mar 30 00:34:48 2016 No.3101147 I have the original, never played the sequel. Perhaps I will.

>>	Anonymous Wed Mar 30 00:37:38 2016 No.3101151 Well this isn't really related but it's N64 and I don't feel like starting a new thread. What should I expect from Donkey Kong 64?

>>	Anonymous Wed Mar 30 00:40:44 2016 No.3101159 >>3101151 Banjo Kazooie.

>>	Anonymous Wed Mar 30 02:27:42 2016 No.3101293 >>3101159 In maximum over-collect. I love it personally. No game better to get baked and just explore for hours.

OK so I'm on the toy level. The game is relatively easy, but I just really appreciate the tounge pull in/ around the world mechanic. I think if we want to save platofrmers, we need mechanics as original and balanced as this. Only qualm is sometimes getting the twist to go in the direction you want is hard. Also, CT1 characters in now way but the tounge resemble actual chameleons.

Classic Rare style but...something missing. It doesn't feature the varied cast of Conker and Banjo...any character of the ape ensemble or the Kremling Krew are fucking creepy and lifeless.

Music is definitely not as strong as Banjo. Much more repetitive.

Gameplay is meh. Platforming can be interesting because each characters have odd specifics about their movements. DK can get some impressive distance with his roll + jump + attack. Goals in the game are all arbitrary, different shaped keys.

Probably won't hold your interest as an adult. I'd recommend looking up some glitches beforehand. DK64 is an odd game with odd glitches.

If you like Chameleon Twist I recommend Bound High and Chalvo 55 by the same company.

The programmers site is really interesting. Apparently he is a professor at Osaka University.
