I chose the top four highest rated Nintendo 64 Rare games from GameSpot for the four to use in the poll.

Some other Rare games on the Nintendo 64 are the following: Jet Force Jemini, Donkey Kong 64, Conker's Bad Fur Day, Diddy Kong Racing. I'm sure I'm missing some others. Anyone know what they are?

Anyway, I say Banjo Tooie.

What say you?

It's the first Banjo game for me. That game was fantastic. They were all great, actually. I never much cared for GoldenEye though.

GoldenEye 007 no question. Playing with the two controller setup and dual DD44 Destoveis was bliss.

People are going to say Goldeneye cause it did it first, but Perfect Dark was better. It had multiplayer bots, secondary firing weapons (Laptop gun!), a better story than Goldeneye..just an all around better experience.

I'll go with Perfect Dark. Closely followed for Conker's BFD simply for all the LAWLZ.

Perfect Dark was good, but it was not better than GoldenEye, especially not in multiplayer (unless you had no one to play with, then you have a point).

goldeneye only had multiplayer, its campaign was a pain in the ass. PD was the whole package.

I loved 007's campaign. Its one of the only reasons I like GoldenEye the movie, as I don't like Bond movies much.

Well if you had 3 people to play with and wanted to team up against those Perfect Sims then it's better multiplayer

Diddy Kong Racing. And to be honest, I didn't like their platformers. I own both DK 64 and Banjo Kazooie. I find the games to require a level of completion bordering on monotony. I prefer games like Super Mario Galaxy where I can beat the game with only about a quarterof what I need, and then go back to finish off. Having to find every last little easter egg to 'beat' the game strikes me as a little obsessive.

Perfect Dark by a mile. Actually, make that a few dozen miles.

There's a reason it was named Perfect Dark. :wink:

Goldeneye was AMAZING for its time. It was the beginning of what we now know as the "modern FPS". It took the classic Heretic/Doom FPS, and vastly improved it. Also, Grenade/Rocket launchers... AKIMBO... That is all.

All of them. Pretty much every game they made on the 64 was amazing, and I owned a ton of them. At tthe time I didnt even realize they were all done by the same company.

Yep. Hell, if I could, I'd give it an eleven. :P

But I jest. I don't honestly think Perfect Dark was perfect but it's as close as any shooter I've ever played has ever come (for its time of course).

I'd say Banjo Kazooie beacuse I played that game the most. i had the most fun in it, even though I immensely enjoyed GoldenEye and Perfect Dark. But in the end, Banjo is probably my favorite game next to Super Mario World and Super Mario Bros 3..

you should have made the poll easier

1- Banjo and Banjo Tooie
2- Perfect Dark and Goldeneye
3- Conkers Bad Fur Day(PURE GOLD)
4- Donkey Kong 64
5- Others


anyway I picked other because my top 3 were

1- Conkers Bad Fur Day
2- Donkey Kong 64
3- Jet Force Gemini
4- Diddy Kong Racing

yep all my favorites ended up on others.

Perfect Dark Zero was solid, not great...but solid.

Viva pinata is a joke of a game the only redeeming factor for that game is the pretty graphics.

And perfect dark 0 SOLID....:lol: cmon thats the worst game Ive played this gen it basically took everything that made perfect dark (N64) great and made it into som anime hybrid crapfest with horrible MP,story,guns and A.I.

The Perfect Dark-esque shooter mode from Banjo-Tooie. My favourite Rare game is Kameo followed closely by Donkey Kong Country.

Some games by rare were overrated like Donkey Kong 64. I never understood why people thought it was godly. It was boring and unimaginative.
