They lovingly poke fun at it a lot. I think the Playtonic guys like the game but understand why a lot of people hate it. The GK Rap is going to be amazing.

It's certainly easier to love something when its your creation.

I think the game is pretty widely liked, actually. Of course, much like Conker's Bad Fur Day, I can only assume this is because only a few of its fans have played it within the past 10 years...

It was pretty well received upon release, but I've seen a lot of fans turn on it over the years.

Sounds like a good thread topic.

Looks like they learned from other Kickstarters and avoided bloat by making this the last stretch goal. Smart idea, as everything past the million goal should not really affect development much at all.

I wonder why the Kickstarter ends right before E3. There's gotta be a reason it was timed like that.

Giving Grant Kirkhope access to as many xylophones, trumpets and trombones as he wants.

I think my body is ready for this.

Remember that Tropical Freeze used a full orchestra... if we could get another soundtrack like that, with added Grant Kirkhope music...

I hope it's not controversial to say that of the two new tracks, I liked David Wise's more.

I liked Grant Kirkhope's tune, but it isn't quite on the level of Spiral Mountain, Click Clock Woods, or Bubblegloop Swamp when it comes to catchy-ness. Not to say it's bad, but it's more of an ambient tune.

If he can deliver tunes like those with a full orchestra? Wow.

David Wise might be my favorite video game composer after Koji Kondo and Mahito Yokota.

If it's coming from you, it is not controversial, it's expected.

Don't recognize the names.

Koji Kondo is the Mario guy. Mahito Yokota is one of the composer's at Nintendo EAD.

I also prefer David Wise's song, but Kirkhope's is more nostalgic and therefore equal in my eyes!

I think my top 5 Kirkhope tunes would have to be Treasure Trove Cove, Freezeezy Peak, Rusty Bucket Bay, Mayahem Temple, and Witchyworld. That said, much like Wise, his work is almost always perfect.

Yuzo Koshiro, Michiru Yamane and David Wise (in that order) are my favorites.

More nostalgic than David Wise?
