At first the game is alright, but the characters talk for a long time and all you could is listen. Also there is many annoying sounds. There isn't a lot of adventure either. Unless your around 5 years old you would not enjoy the game.
banjo annoying is more like it

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.
BANJO KAZOOIE STINKS!

Readers, do not be fooled by the many four star ratings you have just seen. Banjo Kazooie is possibly the worst game ever invented. Ever. First, the story plot is a stupid bore. Why would someone want to play a game about a bear who's sister is stolen by a witch, and he fights phony enemies to save her. Two. The Graphics Stink! Even for a N64 Game. I've seen SuperNES, even RegularNES games with better graphics than this! Three! It's extreemly childesh!...Heres a warning: DO NOT BUY THIS GAME! IT STINKS!
Great graphics, but graphics don't make it fun

Rare has done a great job with the graphics, but they left out one important detail: gameplay. This game just isn't fun to play. I'd much rather play Mario 64 again.
Banjo-Kazooie or Super Mario 64?

Many people believe that this is a copy of Super Mario 64. I have played Super Mario 64 DS, and I must say that for the most part they are correct. The only thing different from this game is the puzzle-finding element to the game. If you are into strategy and action games the two games you should have in mind are Super Mario 64 and Banjo Kazooie. But, suppose you could only take one. Which would you purchase? Both are almost the same. If you like games where you have to think and games that are tedious, both are for you. Overall, since Banjo-Kazooie makes you think quite a bit more and has the extra puzzle-finding feature to it, I would suggest you pick up Banjo-Kazooie first and then either get Banjo-Tooie if you truly enjoyed the first game, or get Super Mario 64 if you want to play a slightly different video game. Also, Banjo-Kazooie is A LOT easier than Super Mario 64. So when you go to the store to pick which of the two games to buy, remember that unless you have a lot of free time on you hands, you probably shouldn't buy Super Mario 64.
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.
Horrible

I felt this game was boring. Atleast at first. It has great graphics, but I feel that the game is way too hard and its a waste of time. It gets boring very easily.
Sorry, but those of you that disagree must be more into the game... personally I didn't like it.
Game for kids

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?).
Actions
