I thought Kameo and Viva were painfully average compared to Rare's N64 games, but still have high hopes for this. Banjo was the only 3d platformer to get close to Mario 64's greatness

For a release game I thought kameo was fantastic. Didn't like viva pinata though.

It looked great, but gameplay wise it was a marathon like step back Banjo et al.

I thought Viva wasn't far off from the N64 days, but Kameo was a complete mess and I couldn't believe RARE released the game with such screwed controls.

I refuse to comment on PDZ & Party Animals because they were simply awfull games.

I just hope Banjo turns out excellent.

Kameo is still one of the best looking games of the generation (just look at the textures) and made the 360 launch worthwhile.
I also really enjoyed Viva Pinata though I'm a member of the PD0 is utter tripe club. (Also another thumbs up for Grabbed by the Ghoulies ~ I can see what they were trying and for the most part it worked, but there was something missing and I could never get past the boss fight).

I can't wait for this and have high hopes.

I also can't wait to see what they're other projects are 'please, please, please, Kameo 2'

eh? what was wrong with the controls :confused:

I managed to play through it without once having a problem.

Although PDZ does suck big time.

It was controlling the water creature thingy. Thought it was me so I gave my eldest the controls and she ended up throwing them down in frustration.

Shame because up to that point I thought the game was very good.

Kameo - one of my best games on the 360, loved it

I agree with both points.

When I saw you mention controls I knew it would be that bit. It wasn't that difficult!

So you just gave up on the game at that point?

I don't particularly like the new design of Banjo, but it's a minor quibble. Looking forward to this, I loved the N64 games and hope not too much of Rare left since the last game.

Pretty much yep

TBH I wanted to continue but I brought the game as some light hearted family entertainment not so that the wife and kids can watch their husband/dad try and break the controller in two :-/

Didn't get a chance to play Banjo-Tooie, but this game might be worth checking out. I'm not a massive platform game fan but Banjo-Kazooie was excellent.

Same here

The first two screenshots of this game have been leaked and it looks fantastic.
Can't wait for this game to be released, this was the main reason I bought a 360.

I know this is kinda off topic, But does anyone know if there's gonna be a next gen Crash Bandicoot? My favourite series of this type of platformer still to date

Those screens look beautiful by the way

RuMp3l4$k1n · 11 May 2008 at 18:52

Looks awesome I cannot wait.

Ripper · 11 May 2008 at 18:53

There already has been and it was awful.

Yeah, I just found something called Crash of the Titans, May have to have a look

The style in those screenshots is fantastic. It's what R&C wishes it was.

That was my first thought. I had words on MSN with someone here and it was clear he thought it didn't look that good.

Banjo Kazooie, the original one is honestly one of my top 3 games ever made so this game gets me stiff in the pants area. These screenies look so textured I want to reach in and feel that patchwork grass up. Hopefully theres a trailer soon!
