Collecting lots of meaningless things = FUN (Score 1)

Developers can and have left Rare. Anybody ever hear of Free Radical? It's a developement company composed of key members that made Goldeneye and Perefect Dark. The only good games I thought Rare ever had were those two. The Donkey Kong Country games just seemed like games where the goal is to collect stuff. The Banjo games seemed like Mario 64, with more collecting. Diddy Kong Racing was the worst of them all, Super Mario Kart 64... with more collecting... and I actually collected all the stupid coins with first place in all the races and I was awarded with... all the tracks mirrored so I could collect more wonderful coins... Does anybody see a pattern here? I don't think Rare has got much left.
