I could also never get the damn dumper truck to swing into the building I wanted.

There’s an article somewhere – I think Eurogamer? – about how Microsoft basically instituted a full-scale cultural takeover of Rare, stiffled the talent and ended up forcing most of Rare’s best designers to leave. Nintendo, whatever else their failings, are very good at getting the best out of their second parties – Silicon Knights, Retro, Rare.

I remember one battle where a huge battle was raging over one control point when suddenly the entire building collapsed, destroying everything inside.

Only went back because I needed to give it a fair hearing so that I could delete it and free up some hard drive space. It is an immensely frustrating game.

At least they learned their lesson with SR3 and teleported you straight into the action.
