In this game you can be turned into animals by a witch doctor, hunt for treasure, soar through a giant sized forest, and even save your captured sister while doing so. Grunty, a wicked witch with a knack for rhyming, has taken your sister to stael her beauty and make it her own. You must find puzzle pieces and recreate paintings , which in turn allows you to enter the beautifully rendered worlds packed with fun and imagination. This game is a must have for any video game enthusiast, and can be enjoyed for hours on end.

BanjoKazooie is not for everyone...

Banjo Kazooie is not for everyone. Before purchasing this game you should first ask yourself how much you like platformers. This game is hard. The graphics give it a kiddie appeal, but after you conquer level 1, and/or 2,
the game starts getting pretty hard. Harder then most platformers. If you like SuperMario64, then there's a good chance you'll will like this game.
This game is like a offspring of Mario.

There is some cool stuff in the game, like being able to fly by collecting feathers in connection with using a jump pad thingy. This is a good game if you like to spend a lot of time wandering around through worlds and collecting objects to progress, in Mario fashion.

This isn't a Zelda type game. You don't grow as a character, and you don't recieve much items that offer change to your character, Banjo. I just bought this game, and I keep going back little by little for about two hours a day to play it and progress through the levels. The game still offers a lot of gameplay, but is a little bit of a "card-board cut-out" type of play. You don't really get envolved with any real substance (wether it be story or adventure) to really ultimately care about it. Banjo Kazooie is good, but I wouldn't give it a A+ if I was to rate. I would give it a average B, which says alot compared to most games. Gamespot rates this game as "Superb" 9.5, and I just don't see it. But then again, Gamespot has down-rated a lot of really good games that offer "superb" gameplay. Winback, being one that comes to mind. BanjoKazooie is a Good game, it will distract your mind and keep you entertained on those rainy days, but it isn't excellent.

Very Cool

Rare did a good job making this game. Challenging but really fun. I rated this 4 for fun because the game is challenging at most times but it's fun. If you don't like spoliers when I'm going to tell you some then DON'T READ ON. Ypu have to collect at least 900 notes by the end of the game (Don't have to but makes the fight with Gruntalia a lot easier) to 100% complete the game. If you're a person that loves puzzles then by this game! This is the game for you.

A Whole Lot of Fun

I really love this game that is quite similar in concept to Super Mario 64. Though it is a lot simpler than its successor Banjo Tooie (in that one there are many types of eggs plus you can change characters) but it is a lot more fun. The successor had a lot more dialog that you had to wade through.

The final battle with Grunty is one of the toughest obstacles I have encountered in a video game and I still have not figured out a way to beat her without the unlimited gold feather cheat.
