Die EGM hat vor einem Monat die 10 überbewertesten Spiele "gekürt". Dabei war 5 mal Rare vertreten (und sogar einmal Shenmue):
10. Ico: "Games as art" folks need to get a grip" "
9. Shenmue: "Was little more than a glorified point and click adventure game with quasi-interactive fight scenes sprinked here and there"
8. Banjo Kazooie:
"Developer Rare had a real knack for looking at Nintendo's own games and making similar ones, replacing Mario and Co. with goofy talking animals and calling it a day. Banjo-Kazooie was patterned after Super Mario 64, but in first of many similar decisions, Rare's games focused arbitrary widges and whatzits.
7. Final Fantasy 9: "Introduced weak plot and lame characters"
6. Nights: "there's not that much to nights beyond flying really fast and collecting as many colored orbs as you can"
5. Perfect Dark:
"Rare's follow-up to GoldenEye 007 was a justifiably big deal. But maybe the unconditional love for that game (along with PD's choppy animations and blurry graphics) clouded judgement for this one.
But was it actuaully good?
Aside from the visual problems, PD had a lot going for it. But in this age of Halo, it's hard to believe what we tolerated back then."
4. Donkey Kong 64:
"As quickly as Super Mario 64 breathed life into the 3D platforming genre, Donkey Kong 64 sucked it all out. And it's the game where Rare cemented its reputation as the masters of the "collect-a-thon" style.
3. Killer Instinct:
"Only thing worse than KI's laughable characters and brain-dead combo mechanics was its speed-fueled announcer who made sure the whole arcade knew that you just got knocked out by an ULLLTRAAA COMMMBOOOO!"
But was it actually good?
Sure, if you know nothing about fighting games"
2. Donkey Kong Country:
"Facing an impending 3D assault on two fronts (PS1 and Saturn), Nintendo needed something to keep the focus on its aging SNES. Rare delivered with Donkey Kong Country, and the masses--- fooled by the pretty plastic graphics into thinking they were playing the second coming of Kong---rejoiced.
But was it actually good?
DCK2 and 3 were improvements, but as a whole, this series got more respect than it truly deserved"
1. Battle Arena Toshinden: "Why you need to be extra careful when judging a system's launch games"
Ich lass das einfach mal kommentarlos so stehen,denn mein Taschentuch ist schon nass,vor lachen versteht sich.Mehr fällt mir dazu wirklich nicht ein :lol2:
