The 11 tales of Rare for N64 - What do you think of the RareWare games for N64?

I personally enjoyed the games by Rare just as much as first party Nintendo games on the N64. The three specifically that I played a ton were Goldeneye, Banjo Kazooie, and Perfect Dark. I also played all the other N64 Rare titles except Mickey's Speedway and Banjo Tooie. I still absolutely love all their games, particularly the first three I mentioned.

Jet force gemini is awesome, one of my all time favorites. Its a wonky game at first and it expects a lot from the player, but if you stick with it then it rewards you heavily

Jet Force and Perfect Dark I missed out on (I moved on from N64 by the time it arrived). I felt that all the rest were high quality games and some of the best of the era. The only exception being Mickey Speedway which instead of feeling like a true competitor to MK64 like Diddy Kong Racing did, was more like just a poor man's MK64. Not sure what they were thinking.

If I had to pick a best one, it would be Goldeneye 007.

I've been playing the version of Banjo-Kazooie on the Xbox 360 store, and it functions so well! The music is great, the movement feels fluid and natural, though not as controlled as Mario 64 is. You're doing yourself a disservice by not playing this charming and fantastic experience.

The only other one I've played is Goldeneye. I've only watched Dr. No, so I haven't seen the movie this is based off, or even played the single player mode, but the multiplayer is so dang fun, ESPECIALLY with cheat codes.

I played all of them except Mickey. I loved Killer Instinct Gold and Goldeneye. The others were not for me, I just was never a 3d platformer kind of guy. I want to go back to Perfect Dark sometime, I love cyberpunk settings.

But KI Gold is amazing in my top 5 for N64 (along with non-Rare games Starfox 64, Waverace 64, Robotron, and Sin and Punishment).
