Grabbed by the Ghoulies is an endearing game thanks to its art style and goofy, Rare sense of humor. The combat is actually reminiscent (but not, since Ghoulies came first) of Too Human with the two sticks handling the fighting and movement. Once you get through the initial cuteness and humor of the comic strips and general environments, Grabbed by the Ghoulies tends to be very repetitive. There isn't a lot of progression in the gameplay which means that by the time you see your 100th spider, you're likely already tired of what GBTG has to offer.
Alex S. from Link Cable Gaming writes: "Rare if you’re listening we have so ideas of some other classic titles in your portfolio that would be great to be brought back and none of them are called Banjo-Kazooie."
I think the real issue is that the minds that made those games special are nowhere around. When it’s a series that gets new versions regularly like a COD, Forza, Gears, or Halo you can’t really feel the effects so much of teams changing although I’m sure they do, and all the time. Part of that original vision can live on through some of those team members that remain. In these LONG dormant games they have a far greater chance of ruining the memory of these games and the feel they have us than recapturing it. I think that’s also why Rare hasn’t had a hit since they left Nintendo. Rare should be left to their own vices to make a find a identity and make a new IP. ONLY time I saw a whole new team knock it out the park is the new God of War. Corey killed that.
Interesting list, I never heard of the gameboy game they had talked about. But I would still like new IPs this gen.
Carlos writes "Xbox One Backwards Compatibility additions may have been quieter than usual in recent weeks, but now we are seeing interest boil up to an all-time high as Microsoft have brought the first wave of original Xbox titles to Xbox One via the Xbox One Backwards Compatibility program. With Original Xbox titles now available thanks to the sizeable list of new additions, here are our thoughts on which ones are most deserving of your time, along with the one’s we’d recommend you leave in the past – although should you be one that enjoys going back in time, this week’s arrivals hardly have anything you wouldn't want to be playing."
