The Shrine

<div style='font: 12pt ; text-align: left; '>The game is graphically beautiful. However, according to a lot of sources from E3, it appears that they have made the game way easier than the original. One thing I liked about Rare platformers was that they weren't a cake walk like Sega and Nintendo platformers (until recently, both Companies seem to have stepped up on difficulty), and now it seems that they are giving into the Japanese gaming population who seem to like games that they can finish very easily.</div>

<div style='font: 11pt ; text-align: left; '>Where the pics at?</div>

<div style='font: 12pt ; text-align: left; '>Meh, stagnation of Innovation lately by all the developers. I'd like to see new games with creative gameplay, ala Ape Escape or Ico more often.</div>

<div style='font: 11pt arial; text-align: left; '>Rare coming out with another cheesy 3-D platformer? My pulse is racing from the shock of such an unexpected turn of events.</div>

<div style='font: 12pt ; text-align: left; '>Every major active Xbox and multiplatform game site on the Internet.</div>

<div style='font: 12pt ; text-align: left; '>Huh? They haven't come out with a 3D platformer in years, and no one makes 3D platformers better than Rare.</div>

<div style='font: 12pt ; text-align: left; '>I'm actually very happy this game is coming out, I am just a little upset that this is the only non-GBA game that Rare seems to have made for this generation of consoles (unless you include that Kameo game, which I doubt anyone will buy).</div>

<div style='font: 10pt "EngraversGothic BT", "Copperplate Gothic Light", "Century Gothic"; text-align: left; '>Well...that's because "this is the only non-GBA game that Rare seems to have made for this generation of consoles". GBA is not known for its 3D capability.</div>

<div style='font: 11pt arial; text-align: left; '>They haven't come out with ANYTHING in years, and whenever they do it's always just another tired 3-D platformer. Besides, Jak II, R&C2, and even Maximo blew anything Rare's ever done out of the water.</div>

<div style='font: 11pt arial; text-align: left; '>Well, there was Starfox Adventures</div>

<div style='font: 12pt ; text-align: left; '>Seriously, comparing Rachet and Clank or Maximo to Conker. You'd have to be smoking some serious weed, topped off with 20 shots of Jamaican Rum, and a 1.5 liter bottle of Jost, and lets not forget a few hits of crack, to actually think Rachet and Clank or Maximo are better than Conker (which has some of the most ingenius levels ever conceived within a videogame). NOBODY who has played through Conker will say that either of those games are better, and most would say they don't come close.

Seriously, even if they butcher the Xbox version of the game by making it easier, it will still be better than either of those two games. Another bonus for the Xbox version is that the graphics are absolutely breathtaking.</div>

<div style='font: 12pt ; text-align: left; '>I haven't played much of it, but it is quite possibly their worst 3D game to date.</div>

<div style='font: 11pt ; text-align: left; '>Those games are hella funner, Conker and BK were extremely boring.</div>

<div style='font: 12pt ; text-align: left; '>You said you only played through the first 2 or 3 levels of Banjo Kazooie, that's not really a good way to judge the game considering you still don't even have many abilities by that point, and the levels get exponentially better as you progress through the game. I don't know if you played Conker or not, but I understand you not having fun with it about as much as I understand Mr. Bean not having fun on a Roller Coaster =P You can't NOT have fun with that game, it is one of the best games ever made; and unique to top that off, there is no other game like it; especially since it spoofs dozens of movies from the 1970's onward, everything from a Clockwork Orange to the Matrix.

You don't need me to tell you about Conker, the Xbox sites are all raving about it (the N64 version included since they were fans of it before), the game has a lot of fans. I have not heard of anyone who hasn't fun with that game, it's more fun than two hot lesbian nymphos at the club who just can't get enough =P</div>

<div style='font: 11pt ; text-align: left; '>I forced myself to play through Banjo Kazooie, because I was bandwagon riding Rare at the time, it was boring, I'll give Conker it's props though.</div>

<div style='font: 11pt arial; text-align: left; '>My problem isn't really that Rare makes <I>bad</i> games though, just that they only make one <I>type</i> of game and even insofar as that one type of game is concerned they still aren't the best. They have yet to earn my respect</div>

<div style='font: 10pt "EngraversGothic BT", "Copperplate Gothic Light", "Century Gothic"; text-align: left; '>Ugh...I'm sorry.</div>

<div style='font: italic bold 14pt ; text-align: center; '>better than fuckin 2 lesbian nymphos? sorry to say but no game holds a candle to some good fuckin</div>

<div style='font: 9pt ; text-align: left; '>Hey now, they've released classics such as StarFox Adventures and Grabbed by the Ghoulies in the last couple of years...*snicker*</div>

<div style='font: 9pt ; text-align: left; '>Play it, it's not like anything else Rare's done</div>
