I LOVE Banjo-Kazooie!

This is the best video game I have ever played. Not only is it challenging, but it is also histerically funny at times! Great for all ages, little kids won't be "corrupted" by it, and older people won't fall asleep. I hope that a sequel comes soon!

Be careful! BK is HIGHLY addictive!

I received Banjo-Kazooie for Christmas, and to be honest, I didn't expect much from it. Once I started playing it, however, I was hooked. The game was challenging, entertaining, and fun. The graphics were decent. At times it was frustrating (I fall into the casual gamer category); some of the puzzles and challenges I had to do 3 or more times to get it right, but I finally beat it after several weeks. It's truly a great game that will keep you entertained for quite a while!

I would have to say that this is one of the best games out there for any system. It has been compared to Mario 64 but I can honestly say that if you are looking for enjoyment this is a much better game. With stunning graphics and witty one-liners you will find yourself hooked and devoting many hours. This game falls into a league with such games as Zelda and Rez Evil 2. Make a point to add this to your collection.

Still the best platform game on the system

Do NOT be put off by what appears to be a very childish game. This is just a candy shell for what is actually a brilliant 3-D adventure game. The joys of earning each and every jiggy will only be part of the mix as you climb higher and higher into Gruntilda's lair to take her on in the final showdown. And boy...that final showdown...

I saved up a lot of money to buy this game when it came out, and I am still playing it today. The game has smooth graphics, fun gameplay, and easy/tough levels. In each level, there are three objectives to complete: collect all 100 musical notes, collect all five "Jinjos", and collect the ten jigsaw pieces. In the end, you have to beat Gruntilda, an evil witch who stole Banjo's sister, Tootie. This game might never get old to me. If you like good old long gameplay, you should get this game. Poor Kazooie. In one attack, she poots out eggs. Ouch...

I guarantee you'll enjoy it.

I will recommend this game because it is my favourite platformer of all time. It has everything necessary to be a wonderful game. Some lovable characters, tough puzzles, and a fantastic bad guy.

Banjo is not so difficult as to be unenjoyable but it's a pretty hard slog to the finish. The Credits appear long before the game is over and the Witch at the conclusion seems to last forever.

I can't complain about anything in this game. There is a training programme at the start which continues into the game and makes sure you know how everything works. The rhyming is very funny and every inch of the game is explorable. Nothing then to complain about the game, unfortunately though it was marketed as a furry teddy bear game and it's much more than this. It's tougher than Goldeneye for crying out loud.

You gotta love this game.

is my favorite game. It is fun, appropriate for all ages, and friendly. Frezeezy Peak makes me feel happier thatn any other level though. Buy this game! It rocks!

I really need to change my name...Anyway, this is...

Better than it's sequel, which was a little more confusing. This is on the top ten list of Nintendo games, hands down. If the music was released on soundtrack, I'd buy it in a heartbeat, especially for "Click Clock Wood" and "Enter Furnace Fun, (Right At The Pad)" The music is just hands down, 2nd best to Quest 64.

The graphics are very nice. Nothing violent, but nothing incredibly mild. Well done.

Gameplay and Plot-Gameplay, it's VERY easy to control. And the plot is very good-Saving your younger sister fromm looking like an ugly witch! VERY original!

I got this two years ago and I'm not tired yet, does that say something? Use the Gameshark for this, too!!! It does mess up your moves at Mad Monster Mansion if you have an older version though.

It's easy...

Banjo-Kazooie (weird title) is a video game in which you must collect puzzle-pieces, music notes, aliens...lots of stuff. It's quite easy, and to an expert gamer (not me) it is probably beatable in maybe...3 hours. To little kid's it may be difficult (5-10 year olds) but older children may enjoy it's smooth layout and easy navigation. The graphics are good, they are no comparison to PS2 graphics, but they're good. The object of the game is to open up "note doors" in order to progress through the game and ultimately to Gruntilda (the main boss) and to beat her. Overall, Banjo-Kazooie is a good game for a boring afternoon...if ya ain't bored...then, uh, play something else. Banjo-Tooie is better.
