I kinda don't really know what to think of this collection. It has its ups and its downs, but let's start with its ups.
They brought back a lot of the old Rareware N64 games, like Banjo-Kazooie, Perfect Dark and Conker's Bad Fur Day. Plus, with Banjo-Kazooie, they improved a few things. For example, they made it HD and fixed the aspect ratio.
Now for the bad stuff.
It's missing Diddy Kong Racing and the Donkey Kong games. While they fixed the aspect ratio for Banjo-Kazooie, they did not do the same with Conker's Bad Fur Day, which you can still only play in a 4:3 ratio. Even Project64 allows you to change the aspect ratio. They still made it HD, but still.
Also, Conker's shooting controls on the N64 are really bad. There’s only one analog stick, so to aim, you have to hold down the R button and move that stick and that also means that can't walk around while you aim. Did they fix that in the Xbox One version? No they didn't. Even though Conker: Live & Reloaded had already perfected the shooting controls. And the fact that an Xbox One controller has two analog sticks and it's easy to use the wrong one by accident makes the Xbox One version's shooting controls abysmal to play. It got so bad to the point where I tried to use the "VERYEASY" cheat code to make the game easier and I still got my ass pounded. Eventually, I just gave up and instead used the cheat code "WELDERSBENCH" to unlock all of the chapters so I could just skip the entire "It's War" section.
