I would say I'm a Rare fan, but I've only played the DKC games and the 64 games. But I like what I've seen!

Banjo Kazooie was great, though I can see where Vivi's coming from. Fetch questing is not for everybody. I enjoy DK64, but only every five years or so. It's definitely not their best game, but at least it's above the recent Banjo Kazooie disaster! Diddy Kong Racing was awful. I just... I hate that game. I have yet to finish Conker's Bad Fur Day or Jet Force Gemini, but I enjoyed what I played. I am the Great Mighty Poo.
