Rare Appreciation Thread

[Gors]

The only thing that is good from Rare, consistenly, is the music. Snake Rattle n' Roll, Battlemaniacs, Killer Instinct had good music and stuff thanks to people like Graeme Norgate, Robin Beanland, Grant Kirkhope, Eveline Fischer and of course David Wise.

Again citing DKC2, its soundtrack is the perfect mix between ambient and melody, and remains an inspiration for me up to this day. Banjo and Kazooie was a terrible game but Kirkhope's work of making seamless music with channel muting tricks is magical.

Also yes, Donkey Kong Country (the first one) sucked ass. DKC2 made it look like a playable beta.
