My 5 year old daughter got hooked on Banjo Kazooie from Nintendo-64. Remember that console? So, trying to find Banjo character games was hard after the system was gone. BUT, this game is so entertaining to her and she just plays and plays. SO, on that note, it works for a young lil girl, I dont know how much an adult would enjoy the game unless you're a Banjo-Kazooie fan.

I played both games for N64 and like it better than any Mario game but the only gripe I have for Grunty's Revenge is that I get lost a lot walking around between the 'caves'

Wasteful, Mindless Gaming

Banjo Kazooie: Grunty's Revenge is one of the most absurd Game Boy Games I have ever seen. The plot: Banjo (the bear) has just had his best friend and buddy Kazooie (the bird) taken captive by the evil witch Gruntilda, who has magically re-arisen from who knows where. So Banjo has to go on a journey to rescue Kazooie and stop Gruntilda and her wicked ways once and for all. Just to get a perspective of how absurd this game really is, imagine uber-twangy hillbilly/banjo music and a bunch of characters by the names of Bosseye, Klungo, Jinjo, and Mumbo Jumbo. Then imagine all of them talking in this absurd Darth Vader-like jibberish that, combined with the nonstop twangy banjo music, when being played in the back seat of a car on a long, long trip, will make everyone in the front seat turn around out of impatience and irratation with bulging eyeballs and exclaim, "What IS that?"
Indeed, insane and mindless, Banjo Kazooie will satisfy 2 types of people: (1) The kid at heart who's really a 40 something-year old man that still watches Looney Tunes, wears colorful pajamas and Hawaiian shorts, and thinks Pacman is one of the greatest inventions of all time or (2) the average American kid today that would die to play Nintendo all day, delights in silly, silly games such as this one, and who still cracks and laughs at potty jokes in their spare time.

Essential for BK lovers!

Grunty's Revenge may not be the new console adventure that fans have been cheated out of (at this point, I'd buy a bleeping Xbox 360 just to play Banjo-Threeie), but that doesn't mean it's not a force to be reckoned with on GBA.

The graphics are a bit outdated, but are still bright and colorful, with very few instances of failing a task because of vision problems. The classic BK melodies are handled well even on the handheld speakers. But as we all know, this doesn't matter much. What matters is gameplay. BK:GR has that in spades.

Although the six worlds in the game are thematically similar to those in the first Banjo game, there are plenty of new items to find and collect (60 jiggies, 30 jinjos, and 600 notes in all). You'll find plenty of the familiar timed platforming runs and "bring-me-five-of-these" quests from the console games, but there's also a new focus on minigames such as fishing, target practice, and boat driving. These are quite fun, but one of the best features of Grunty's Revenge are the new Mumbo transformations. They're completely unique to this GBA version, and are a blast to try out.

The interface has been transferred seamlessly to the GBA, so if you die, it's always your fault, not the controls'. This, combined with the short length (I beat it, with 100%, in 6 hours, one of which was spent on the final boss), makes it a great play for all skill levels. Sure, it would be really nice to see a bigger or longer adventure for the classic duo, but GR's great humor and accessible learning curve will keep us alive until then.

Banjo Kazooie: Grunty's Revenge.......

Lately, I've been replaying through alot of my old Gameboy Advance games. One of them that caught my eye to give a good going through again was Banjo Kazooie: Grunty's Revenge. I have to admit, I'm amazed at how closely this game resembles the Nintendo 64 games. The end result is an extremely close representation(music, gameplay, acquired moves and minigames). The only difference is, instead of it being in 3-D, it has more of a Gameboy Advance Spyro game design(which was an absolute blast to play on the GBA), yet not so isometrical. It's kinda hard to explain what I mean by that, you'll just have to play the game and see what I mean. The story begins when Gruntilda's lackey Klungo's manages to resurrect her after her run-in with Banjo and Kazooie at the end of Banjo-Tooie. Grunty's ultimate plan: to go back in time, before the original Banjo-Kazooie and prevent Banjo and Kazooie from ever meeting. She goes off to Banjo's home, kidnaps Kazooie and zaps into the past, leaving Banjo to go after her. Make no mistake, though, weird plot or not...the game design is just as deep and engaging as the N64 games. It's quite a challenge to get through this game, believe me. When it's time to fight Grunty in the final boss battle, much of what you've learned in the game will be put to the test. It's quite an impressive game.

As for gripes concerning the game, it mostly deals with its' perspective. Since the game plays 3-D style platforming in a 2D, overhead engine, it's difficult to judge height and distance of things in the game. Secondly, it's also a short game that leaves you wanting more. There are six worlds with over 60 different trials and, if you're a vet at these types of games, it shouldn't take no more than a few days to finish it. Course, my first time through took alot longer.

Rare did the series justice with its' game for the Gameboy Advance. It's impressive, addictive and downright fun to play. Definitely one you should add to your collection...yes indeed.

This game is fun and has good graphics I recomend it for people who think a lot of games are to hard. This game might be toeasy for hard core gamers but kids will enjoy it. Once you figure it out it's kind of easy but I think it's my favorite game for GBA so far. Get it if you like BK games.
