Re: Mario 64 style platformers

I don't get it. I would put Banjo-Tooie at the top of that list. It's my favorite N64 game. Great puzzles (solutions often span multiple levels), funny dialogue, lots of fun.

The order is questionable for me after Mario 64 and Banjo-Kazooie, which are definitely my top two. DK64 was a bit of a disappointment compared to those two games - Rare went overboard with collecting items and the overly massive size of the world (not that huge is bad, but in this case the design just didn't work well with the size).
Banjo-Tooie continues that trend, and they tried to jam so much in that there's serious slowdown at parts and it's just overwhelming. Simply not as crisply designed as Banjo-Kazooie.
That being said, if you could guarantee that Banjo-Kazooie 3 (coming for Xbox 360) would be "only" as good as 2, I'd be pretty excited and would snatch it up quickly.
