Out of all of Rare's N64 games, which one was their best?

>> No.8571889

none of them was *truly* good, but the blame is half theirs and half the console itself.

>> No.8571891

I have never enjoyed a RARE game. I remember getting pic rel when I was young and being confused. What was the point of this shit? Typical brit bong game, all show, no substance.

The intro wasn't all that long, and I don't remember the first level being all that offensive, it's just meh. The game then goes in all sorts of places though, that's why I put it above Banjo. Also, it's Rare's biggest technical achievement on N64, easily. They went above and beyond with it.

Yes, mapping out the routes for each kong is fun. It turns each level into 5 smaller levels with each one having its own unique route of things to do. If you can change kongs at any moment, it's just a chore simulator, there's no challenge in coming up with routes, there's no need to memorize rooms to come back to later, there's no reason to enter the level again, etc.

And DK64 backtracking is nothing compared to Tooie anyway. You can get every single kong's collectibles in one go. In Banjo Tooie, you can't get all the collectibles in one stage until three stages later. You never actually have to leave the level in DK64 to get every collectible, it's much more like Banjo Kazooie in pacing than Banjo Tooie was.
