Oh wait a minute, you mean Grabbed by the Ghoulies is released?

I liked Banjo-Tooie a lot, it was a quality sequel. I agree with Dyne though, the supposed connection between the two games was hyped up so much, and for it to turn out so lame...that's a HUGE letdown. Even so, it was a nice platformer.

DK64 was a good game, but not great by any means...It was long and tedious. You don't want that feeling, of "jesus, I have to do this?" while playing a game, and I felt that way much too much during DK64. How can a game start off with something as genius as the DK rap and go so wrong?

Exactly.. that's the reason I'm proud to say I never finished DK64. There were some fun moments, too... Diddy's rocket barrels.. that minekart game, somewhat.. but it was lame compared to the DKC series. WAY too much collecting.. and the game took too damn long to finish. I must have played for months on and off. I think I would just pop it in sometimes to play the old Donkey Kong minigame, which by the way, took about 10 minutes to get to. =\ Lame. It was kind of a steal, too, because it included the expansion pack.... you thought it was a deal getting a sweet add-on and a great game, but nope.. you were suckered into buying DK64 too. =o

But yeah, it was good. I still make impersonations of Lanky Kong's "How... hup!" sound. =P

You can always count on Rare for huge collectathons. Their worse being SFA.

SFA was nowhere near as collecting based as DK64 was, at least not for the completion of the game. DK64's collecting bored me out out of my mind, but I was able to comeplete SFA and still have an enjoyable time so..

Holy ****! I forgot that SFA existed!... I got that game last Christmas and played for like half an hour. Maybe I'll try my hardest to play it again. I seriously wouldn't have remembered I had that game until I read these last couple of posts. whoomp.

SFA is easy if you apply yourself. I spent a whole weekend on it, collected everything.. the whole kit and kaboodle. The graphics were really nice.. it's kind of sad they finally made a next gen game, and it was good. Took them forever for it though.. bleugh..

But yeah, a two-day weekend.. all afternoon, all night (until midnight both nights.) Didn't even think about a FAQ, collected everything, didn't consult Slippy once. Good game.
