Ya know, I like platformers, and Im a BIG fan of Mario. And other characters like that too, like Ratchet and Clank, Jak and Daxter, Crash (from the older games) and so on.

But Banjo-Kazooie......

That game was the first real indication that Rare had lost their touch.

That whole game was just run around and grab endless/useless gidgets that you need 80 zillion of to do absolutely nothing, while beating up REALLY easy enemies, and earning moves that you could only use on special "pads".

It's like a reviewer once said in relation to Rare: Their idea of game design was to take one of Nintendo's Mario platformers, remove Mario and crew, and replace them with goofy talking animals and then throw random junk all over the Mushroom Kingdom. And then call it a day.


I havent touched a single game Rare made since Blast Corps. Everything since then, has just been a travesty (Star Fox Adventures, anyone?).

.....WHY the heck is everyone complaining about the price on this thing?

I mean, holy CRAP.

.....Im having trouble just THINKING STRAIGHT due to some of the incredible flaming STUPID that I've read in some of these responses.

Everybody's whining about the price and "ZOMG NINTENDO IS A BUNCH OF GREEDY JERKS LETS NOT BUY FROM THEM". So, those people, instead of buying a system that STARTS at $250, will go and "intelligently" buy Sony's little nightmare for SIX HUNDERED DOLLARS. WHICH, will probably break down or violently explode a month after purchase.

Im no Nintendo "fanboi". I've hated them for quite some time. They've made quite a number of big mistakes in the last couple years. But fact is, they've LEARNED from their mistakes.

Anyone who goes and buy's Sony's console over Nintendo's, not because of the GAMES they want, but because "Nintendo is greedy and Sony isnt", is an **IDIOT**.


Sorry, normally I dont get so..... vocal, but this..... is simply too stupid.
