its a shame really. here's hoping that the new banjo kazooie will be as good as the n64 version

They scrapped it but still put the feature in Tooie, in that you collected BK carts. To be honest its not the big "thing" everyone was hoping for and still trying to find. I'd understand if it opened up new levels etc but from what I can tell, it only added a few extra moves/items etc. Not really that exciting.

Must admit that the basic game engine was a lot better in PD but the level design wasnt as strong. I have recently gone back to Goldeneye and I think another major success of this game is just the fact that it is so simple and uncomplicated. Realism definately improves a game. I think aliens would be a lot better if they were more human like (i.e startrek). I am waiting in anticipation for the next PD game to be produced by Rare, as they are starting to get back on form and should have hopefully listened to the fans criticisms.

If you let us know what games you currently have, I can let you know of any others you may want to consider getting

I am 1000% in agreement with Zechs Merquise. he basically summed up how the majority of people feel about the two games. The thing that really got on my nerves was how crap PDZero was! I was so looking forward to playing a next gen PD, but the game was just rubbish. It didnt feel like PD! I think the whole alien thing is just stupid as well. I'd rather shoot people in a game rather then aliens as it makes it a lot more believeable. I think this was another thing that made Goldeneye better. Plus every guys dream is to be James Bond. In Goldeneye you get to do just that.

This game was excellent. N64 was such an innovative system. The game was well ahead of its time. The only problem was that it was too ambitious for the limitations of the N64. But still, very enjoyable and certainly something very different to other games.

All games made by Rare and Nintendo for the N64

The cardboard cases were a stupid idea. It encouraged you to just chuck it away, along with all manuals etc. Nintendo were just cheap! mind you, I dont blame them considering the manufacture price of cartridges back then

I think the music from Banjo-Kazooie was really catchy and cheered me up when playing. The way it stayed the same but kind of changed depending on what area of Gruntildas lair you were in was complete genius.

Donkey Kong 64

WOW!!! I can't wait to get home tonight to try this. It looks amazing!!!

I think the new look game is something that has to happen. Every game needs to evolve in order to keep up to date with the latest trends. Woud you rather Banjo looked like he did in the N64 version? Zelda is a prime example of a game trying something different. If developers dont experiment then we'll all just end up playing the same games but with slight differences to levels. I must admit I was starting to worry about Rare but they seem to be getting back on track. I think the initial games they released should be ignored as I'm pretty sure they were totally rushed to get these ready for the 360 launch. Now the machine has launched they will be allowed to develop their games till they are 100% happy. This is looking to be the case with Viva Pinata. Microsoft need to lay off Rare and give them the time that they need, just like Nintendo did.

I think Turok 2 ws pretty awesone. The graphics were amazing. I just remember it got a bit tiresome and the levels were too big. In the end i just gave up with this half way through. Still, this is probably the best Turok game that was realeased. Far better than Turok 1.

Basically the best games that were released for the Nintendo 64 were platformers and fps. The pad is ideal for these kinds of games. When you have a pad with a great design such as the N64 one and a game made just to suit the pad then you are onto a massive winner. Can the same be said for any Xobx or Playstation pads/games?
