I think I actually preferred Mad Jack, again because of the challenge.

I enjoyed Creepy Castle, again because it was just so goddamned immense. Also, again, have to go with Hideout Helm.

I never liked DK64, but personally, I rather like that second to last boss you beat. You know, the one with the giant K. Rool cardboard cutout that had that manical, batshit insane laughter? I found great pleasure in launching monkeys and gorillas out of a cannon.

I enjoyed all of Rare's wacky-animal-collect-a-bunch-of-shit games. Banjo Kazooie, of course, was the best and a classic, but I enjoyed DK64 and Tooie as well. While they didn't measure up, I still thought they were quality games.

The best part of DK64 was the multiplayer, in my opinion. Holy hell that was some good times.

Back to the original discussion: I agree with the whole "Tooie was way too big and far too much crap was happening at the same time" thing, I got lost very often as what I had to do next in that game.

It was much better when each jiggy had its own puzzle, totally unrelated to the other events. [For complexity in that regard, making the pyramids appear in Gobi Desert or feeding that god forsaken Eagle in Click Clock Wood is all you need.]

Hopefully BK3 [wow I'm lazy] will take a page from the first game again.

[Ah crud, I have to buy a 360 to play it...]

I think the best thing about Banjo Kazooie 3 is that now, somewhere in Rare, there is a glimmer of hope for Killer Instinct 3 to be produced.

I'll give you that much - the K. Rool Kut Out battle certainly a favorite of mine as far as boss fights I've loved. ESPECIALLY when you start nearing the last couple of hits.

I just heavily dislike the overbloated "collection fest"-ness of it all.

Banjo-Threeie= British take on Looney Tunes. Creepy.

Ha ha, that's exactly what it was.

You know that Rare and Nintendo dont sleep together anymore, right?

They still have flings on the portables.

I think this old joke must be mentioned:

Nintendo: You were the chosen one! You were supposed to stop Microsoft, not join them!
Rare: I HATE YOU!
