Rare hasn't produced a great game since the N64 days. How sad is that? All of their Xbox 360 titles have been utter garbage because they're either way too complex for their own good and not fun at all to play (Banjo: Nuts and Bolts, Viva Pinata, etc) or they're just decidedly average at best (Kameo, PDZ).
I think with Natal, Rare's quality may actually improve since it will force them to focus on simple mechanics. They're probably just churning out a Wii sports Natal rehash for the 360, and let's face it -- Rare is best when they're copying other games rather than making something original.
Still, because it's Natal, and because it will be aimed at the mouthbreathing casual audience, I'm not looking forward to whatever they're working on, despite the fact that I believe it will be higher quality in the end.
