What are your favorite non-banjo/dk/conker rare games? Is jet force gemini and perfect dark any good? I've had rare replay for years but only played banjo and conker and feel like its doing them a disservice. This was once a brand that meant you were playing an amazing fucking game
What are your favorite non-banjo/dk/conker rare games? Is jet force gemini and perfect dark any good...
jet force gemini is like the first ever modern third-person shooting game. perfect dark is like goldeneye but with so much more content.
Viva PiƱata: Trouble in Paradise is the best game on the Xbox 360
Ive been playing ninja gaiden lately, finished 1 and now 2. A friend of mine who is a big rare fan says JFG is pretty much as chaotic and bloody as ninja gaiden but with guns instead. Are the controls fucked though? Thats always my biggest concern when going back to pre-6th gen games.
Unfortunately I tried VP years ago and didn't like it. I don't like simulation/raising games like farmville, tranimal crossing, harvest moon etc.
Battletoads and Killer Instinct.

Snake Rattle n' Roll (both versions) is one of my favorite Rare games
I feel like I'm one of, like, 6 people on earth who's actually played Grabbed by the Ghoulies. Underrated as fuck
This game looks fun as fuck
I played it too, I don't think I ever got all the rare books, I don't know if I ever finished the speed run out of the mansion. It's on Rare Replay right?
unironically sea of thieves
I'd like to think we're on the verge of a comeback for Classic Rare, maybe not so much new platformers and googly-eyes but at least embracing their golden age and revitalizing old IPs with reverence and respect.

Kino?
viva pinata is Rare's best game since the buyout unless you include the parts of banjo and remake of conker
but best game on the 360? ridiculous
Mickey's Speedway USA, which I almost prefer to Diddy Kong Racing
I had a lot of fun with the first VP, not so much with the second game.
lolwut
The second VP is a straight upgrade from the first
You bet your ass it's Kino. Fangamer's Rare merch is more than I ever expected to get as a fan of this company, and the quality ain't bad, either. I legit fall asleep on their Jiggy pillow more often than my memory foam pillow, it's just that soft.
Both Perfect Dark and Jet Force Gemini are good overall packages: Good gameplay, fantastic music, nice story and lots of replayability.
Same
I got this set a while back
JFG is hard. Might be a sleeper for one of the hardest games ever.
It is, but its also a lot more busy.
DAMN this looks sharp. Kinda reminds me of timesplitters which I played a ton of on xbox back in the day. Maybe i really do need to try PD
If you have a 360 or XBONE it's a real treat
N64 has terrible frame-rate
I have an xbox one with rare replay and have slept on this game for years. I need to change that. I've played so few rare games but can still easily say they are one of my favorite developers. Thats how good they are
If you like James Bond you'll like this.
The later missions kind of suffer but it doesn't bother me cuz the overall game is fun.
plus playing multiplayer with friends is a real hoot.
I did play a lot of goldeneye and nightfire with friends growing up but no one had perfect dark
Battletoads Arcade
That's a shame.
Forgot to mention the game has Bots for multiplayer if you want them on and a co-op mode for the single-player.
Perfect Dark is great, play the XBLA version if you want a playable frame rate
Kino, I turn on my DK64 just to play this
