When I first turned on the game, my initial thought was "Wow, what great graphics". Then came the slowdown. I was able to overlook that easily, as it's not that bad. As I got more into the game, the puzzles got harder, and the characters were getting cutsier and cutsier, of course. But also, it was all the same thing. Find the mole, learn moves, collect stuff, fight a boss, turn into something, get jiggys, etc. It gets pretty monotonous after a while, and it all feels the same. If you are into and collecting items and saving cute little critters and everything, this is your game.

????Banjo-tooie Great What's Next ????

The game is great. The level's are hard and easy but really fun. In the game you get to have some more tool's and new moves.The same moves are there like in Banjo-Kazooie. Like the ones you have before.

In the new game you have some new egg's there are Ice egg's and fire egg's and so on.

The color's of the level's are more alive than before. There are more thing's to do to save the world once again.

You get to split up the bear and bird. They will help you to get to those hard places that you cannot go before

In the game you get to be many kind's of thing's that can help you in your game and so on. Like a bee and a T-rex and a TNT box.

This game is a hole lot better that the last one. I think it is don't you? I play this game so many times that it not funny.
HEY! I play it and I love it, you will to.

BUY IT!!!!!!!

Even though this is the direct sequel to the Rare 1998 classic Banjo-Kazooie, and features much of the same gameplay and similar characters, I think that it just feels like a different game. It seems almost as different from Banjo-Kazooie as Donkey Kong 64 or Conker's Bad Fur Day does. The game just emanates a completely different atmosphere. I guess it's a combination of very different music, different moves, and new characters. Kudos to Rareware on that. People usually like a game that play the same as another game but feels different. I mean, it's a different game, isn't it? Who likes a game that plays AND feels the same?

Ah well. Banjo and Kazooie's final N64 adventure takes them to the world beyond the valley in which they live in. It's a large world, larger than the cavern that Gruntilda calls her lair. The levels really aren't that much larger than the mammoth world featured in Banjo-Kazooie or even Donkey Kong 64, but it's amazing how Rare has fresh ideas even after creating over a dozen massive levels for the two aforementioned games. Ah well. The difficulty level of Banjo-Tooie seems to be tougher. It's sometimes harder to figure out what the heck to do for certain Jiggies, and there are so much more stuff to find this time around. Not only are there jiggies, but there are also: Jinjos, Cheato pages, honeycombs, and everybody's favorite notes! The massive amount of extra moves can also get overwhelming. Boss fights, which were MIA in Banjo-Kazooie are now here, and in every stage. The extra modes of play are a nice change to the typical Banjo-Kazooie formula. I haven't had a chance to play as Kazooie without Banjo, but I did get to control Mumbo. It wasn't really as I had expected, but fun nonetheless. The 1st-person shooter mode was obviously a chance to cash in on the successes of GoldenEye and Perfect Dark, but they were actually well done. The 1st-person shooter level in Mayahem Temple freaked me out, but hey. It's all about atmosphere.

Rare has always been good at having distinct "tastes" to their games. I suppose what helps them are their awesome musical staff. Although the music in Blast Corps got on the nerves of some people, it definitely added to the feel for it. The somewhat-like-variations of the Bond theme in GoldenEye gave that game a unique feel. So on and so forth. Banjo-Tooie had good music that adds to its different mood, but it just didn't feel as excellent as Rare's fantastic score for Banjo-Kazooie. Maybe that's a good thing. Having the Gobi's Desert tune stuck in your head for hours is not exactly a pleasant experience. As far as sound effects go, Banjo's deep utterance for every jump is JUST NOT RIGHT! Argh! I can't stand it. Oh well. It's a good game nonetheless.

This game was perfect. I have played it through 3 times.
I love the quirky level designs and the happy music.
For all you rat lovers there is a cute miuner rodent in the first level. My favorite part is the ending.

This game will surely be a hit,Coming from rare,this will be a great game! cant guaranntey this game is great but basing on Banjo Kzzoie and images,it sounds good. In this game unlike just controling Banjo,Kazooie can come out of that backpack(!);and Mumbo jumbo,our fevrete witch doctor is a playable character also if what i heard is true. Beyond turning banjo into just animals,he can now be...a Snowball! This game will have many new featutures,and a great Time for all ages.Lets go Banjo,Good luck and my bw kazooie be with you *saluets*!!

Challenging yet Spectacular

First things first if you havent't played Banjo Kazooie at all play it before you play this because you won't know who half the characters are and what they're talking about.I also recommend that you've gotten 100% of everything in BK because it just increases the level of fun and understanding you have. This game should be in every N64 system. The challenge has increased since BK when a Jiggy was right in front of your face and you could grab it but in this game you have to use a little more elbow grease to earn it and you will have to find different connections and learn different moves to fully complete a single level which adds to the fun and to the challenge. I recomend this game to ages 11+

this game is awesome. the original was good but this one is a thousand times better. you can move through the worlds easier and faster than in the originl, the graphics are much better, there are lots of mini-games, and there are lots more characters to help and to help you. the original was hard to start i got to the first level and kind of stoped for a few months then when i didn't have any others i forced myself to play. it was pretty good but hard to move through the levels. this one doesn't have that problem. it's alot better. I would recomend this game to anyone and everyone
