We've had this game for about a year and I love it. It was so addicting that after I beat it the first time, I had to go back and beat it again just to get a quicker time.

I'd buy this again in a heartbeat if I had to.

Fun for Daughter and Dad!

A wonderful game that provided my 11 year old daughter and me (43 years old) with over a hundred hours of fun. Problem-solving adventures combined with some challenging action. We actually discuss the game on long drives. Can't wait for Banjo Twoie, the sequel!

Needs some improvement......

Banjo Kazooie is truly a nice game, but needs some improvement.

Banjo the bear is suddenly awakend to find his small sister, Tootie, gone! Stolen by Gruntilda the ugly witch, she plans to steal Tooties young beauty. Banjo, with his faithful bird sidekick, must save Tootie!

The game needs improvement in the field of veiw.I get stung by some enemies simply beacause I can't see them!Flying is a tough feature because you need fuel to do it!And a launch pad!

Though the view is a problem,this game has the fantasy and action needed to make a successful game.

Wacky writing

Banjo-Kazooie is an action adventure game in the style of Super Mario 64. However, it is similar, yet also quite different. Rather than having most of the skills you need at the beginning of the game, you learn a few in the very beginning, and then learn the remaining skills throughout the first six worlds (there are nine, but they are much larger than the fifteen in Mario 64). Notes are like coins, and jiggies are like stars. However, rather than six stars in each world, there are 10 jiggies to find in each world, and 10 in the witch's castle (much like the castle secret stars). Also, you can transform in five of the nine massive levels with the help of the crazy witch doctor Mumbo-Jumbo. Generally, it will help you get at least 1 Jiggy in the world, and they can do things that Banjo and Kazooie can't on their own. Throughout the game, you get to transform into a termite (level 1), an alligator (level 4), a walrus (level 5), a pumpkin (level 7), and a bee (level 9).

The nine massive worlds are each very different from eachother. But how fun are they? Well, they're all very fun to play in, mainly because the tunes in each world really match the mood, from eerie funeral dirges to peppy shipyard music, this game has that and then some. Overall, I highly recommend it. If you read my previous review of the game Banjo-Tooie, you'd see why I enjoyed the sound effects so much. Once more, I highly recommend this game.

Masterful

After Rareware turned GoldenEye into a system-seller for the Nintendo 64, it broke out again with the action-platformer Banjo-Kazooie. An ugly old witch named Gruntilda has taken Banjo's sister Tootie and plans to suck the beauty out of her. Banjo and Kazooie (the bird that lives in his backpack) must brave Gruntilda's fortress to get Tootie back.

The plot is a little sugary and kiddie, but it's really just an excuse to send gamers on a Mario 64-style adventure, where completing tasks and puzzles in worlds will open up new worlds to explore. Yes it's pretty much a clone of Mario, but at the same time it refines and enhances the Mario formula. Players have more unique special moves at their disposal, and these are much more essential to navigating the environment and solving puzzles. Worlds are beautiful, creative, and expansive, tossing you into a room with a giant shark, a huge snowman, or a forest where you can actively move between the seasons. It's all topped by memorable music that changes to fit the environment, fades, or grows louder depending on where you are in the stage.

This is a game that has aged gracefully. Yes it's on an old system, but the art design and music still hold up well like the classic Mario titles, and gameplay is solid. A masterful experience thats supplemented quite well by its sequel, Banjo Tooie.

THE GAME IS FUN

4 Simple words to describe one of the most fun and addictive games ever created for the nintendo 64 system...

Banjo Kazooie has an entertaining story line which helps to create excitement in every level of the game, You start off on spiral mountain where the sleepy bear naps through his little sisters kidnapping, When he awakes Kazooie is on the floor and knows what has happened, You meet up with bottles the mole and he offers assistance which is one of the most nicley done tutorials I have ever been through. also, its easy to understand. ^.^

This game offers to you what Mario 64 did not.... Extreme fun and days, weeks, months of gameplay with better characters, levels and places to go. As my brother went and sold our banjo kazooie 2 years ago I have gotten that Banjo addiction back somehow and I have searched 5 stores, none have had it . >.< I turned to the ToysRus website to see if its even sold still and yes it is but its out of stock, it asked if I would write a review and I thought, why not...

I canot think of much to write for this game other than if you havent played it go buy it, It is worth the money.

The best game I've ever played!

Pros-Good graphics, cool levels, somewhat challenging, big game, Banjo is pretty cool, Kazooie isn't. Cons-Boring, kiddish, dumb story, dumb enemies (carrots and Gummi Bear ogres?).

Campared to the sequel, this is about 700 times better...

When i rented this i returned it after about a half hour. It's the worst game i've ever played besides the sequel or donkey kong 64(which is basically Banjo-Kazooie with a different liscense). To like this game, I'd say you have to have the brain capacity of a dead cow! I appologize to all dead cow enthusiasts for that comment, let me correct myself. You'd have to have the brain capacity of a dead snail to enjoy it. Once again I apologize for the dead snails who wouldn't even like this game.
