[TheGame]

*shakes head*

How can you guys hate on Rare? They are Nintendo's best second party if not best developer. Check this out:

Rare's top 7 games (IGN Scores):
-Perfect Dark (9.8)
-Conker's Bad Fur Day (9.9)
-Goldeneye 007 (9.7)
-Banjo Kazooie (9.6)
-Banjo Tooie (9.4)
-Donkey Kong 64 (9.0)
-Blast Corps (9.0)

Total Score: 66.4

Nintendo's top 7 games (IGN Scores):
-Zelda: OoT (10.0)
-Zelda: MM (9.9)
-Mario 64 (9.8)
-Wave Race 64 (9.7)
-F-Zero X (9.1)
-Paper Mario (9.0)
-Star Fox 64 (8.7)

Total Score: 66.3

Scores don't prove anything, but still, Rare got better overall scores than Nintendo's enternal studios on N64... what does that say?

Plus, Only one game on Nintendo's list required/used the expansion pack, While 3 of Rare's required it and 4 used it. That should clear up why the game didn't sell so well. They risked sales for quality.

I'm not saying cry over the fact that they are gone, but please don't act like they are just the crappiest developer ever. According to scores they are just as good or better than Nintendo themselves.
