Video Game Reviews of Banjo-Kazooie

Customer Review: An n64 classic
Summary: 5 Stars

I'm not going to fill this review with stories or complaints. Here's the basics.
Pros
- Great, fun adventure game
- Original, good controls, lots of moves to learn
- Tons of different enemies, some bosses, and lots of challenges
- Easy enough for anyone to play
- Funny and interesting, yet family friendly
- Lots to explore, many different worlds, and a massive land connecting
them
-Dialogue is well thought out
-Many characters to meet
-Collectible searching makes for replayability

Cons
-Maybe too easy
-No storyline, a simple save the girl story, no plot advancement
-Can be childish and stupid (Everything is alive and talking)
-The sound of characters talking is a looped annoying sound
-Although childish, there are random difficulty spikes
-Timing on attacks seems off, enemies can score multiple hits against you
-Too many different things to collect at once

I love this game, and I strongly recommend it to anyone in the mood for a strong adventure game, with few true flaws. Anyone can find this game appealing, and it's great to wind down and just have fun with.

Description of Banjo-Kazooie

Banjo-Kazooie mimics the look and feel of Mario 64, a truly innovative and visually stunning game that belongs in any Nintendo 64 collection. But don't brush off this 3-D action-adventure as an uninspired clone. On the contrary, Banjo-Kazooie introduces more than enough originality to warrant a spot next to its famous mentor.

The game introduces two of the most charming virtual heroes in recent years--the goofy, floppy honey bear, Banjo, and his faithful, feathered sidekick Kazooie. In the game's introduction, we discover that the sinister witch Gruntilda not only nabbed Banjo's sister Tooty, but stole her beauty as well. Naturally, it's up to the bear-bird team to retrieve Tooty and rid the world of one darned inconsiderate witch.

In this beautifully-rendered and massive game world, players run, jump, swim, climb, and flip over obstacles, defeat all sorts of "baddies," and find and collect numerous items and clues that help the quest to progress. Playing as both Banjo and Kazooie, players hone their characters' actions, learning nearly two dozen special moves that help players expertly defeat foes and successfully tread through the nine worlds.

Banjo-Kazooie is one of those games that can demand hours upon hours of perseverance, patience, and learning of skills to complete. But don't let that discourage you. This epic game is so much fun that reaching the end will be an afterthought. --Eric Twelker

Pros:

  • Nicely-paced game world filled with well-designed challenges
  • Excellent character control with numerous special moves
  • Gorgeous graphics
Cons:
  • Numerous--often complex--special moves may discourage some casual gamers
