Banjo-Kazooie-Tooie! (Warning! mild spoilers)Review created: 12/19/05

This was one of Rareware's best old games and probably one of the best Nintendo64 games out there. Banjo-Kazooie was a fun little game that featured a bear named Banjo and a bird (breegull) named Kazooie. Banjo had to save his sister,Tootie,from an evil (and ugly!) witch named Gruntilda (better known as Grunty) who wanted to steal Tootie's better looks. Sure the plot sounds used but it played out real well. After the climactic (and fun) battle, Grunty was sealed under a rock for two years.
In this game she is unleashed by her sisters and begins to get her revenge on everyone and everything. She ends up killing one of Banjo's friends and now you must go stop her again but this time for good. You are no longer stuck in a big castle, you actually go out to explore the island. The old characters are back and with a couple of new ones too. You have all the moves from Banjo-Kazooie but now it is time to learn even more cool moves. You now have a friendly and unexpected gun that you can shoot at monsters from afar. Don't worry, its comical. A new teamwork aspect is now employed with the characters. For one, you can now use Mumbo as a character to perform cool spells to collect goodies. Another thing is that now Banjo and Kazooie can split up to do things they can't do together. But then they can reunite to do things they can't do separetly.
The story isin't too different but it keeps you motivated since Grunty is wreaking havoc on your friends. Graphic-wise this game is a little better than the first and since the controls are the same, you shouldn't have much trouble with them. A thing I really love about this game is the soundtrack. I love some of the boss battle music. It just gets you into the fight. The only downsides I have seen on this game are that the way they talk can become anoying if heard too much, there can be some slow-down in some areas but it is not really noticeable because it never happens in a bad spot, and if you don't pay close attention you could have trouble handling some of the new moves. I never had trouble but my little brother a little trouble but not too much. I highly recommend this game because it isin't too hard yet it isin't too easy. You won't have a lot of trouble beating it, but you will still have fun. This game is also a little comical with all of Kazooie's smart remarks and with the dry humor here and there.
In my personal opinion, this game could have been more popular than the first, but it didn't receive the hype Banjo-Kazooie got. Not to mention a lot of people thought it was just a bigger, different remake of Super Mario64. I do agree they are similar, but they are definetly different.
So overall, I truly recommend you try it out. If you can handle a nintendo64 and don't mind the kiddy stuff, you'll enjoy it.

My son Likes it better3 of 3 people found this review helpful.
My 5 year old son plays it over and over again. I have to read things for him since the game doesn"t "talk" but he likes it better than Banjo-kazooie for some reason. It is a great adventure game and there are places where 2 players can play games against each other in mini-game mode. So my son and daughter can play against each other in those.
In a way it is similar to Mario N64, which he rescued Princess Peach in 4 months! It took me 2 years to get 60 stars!!!! He finished a Kirby64 The Crystal Shards game in 10 days. At least this game keeps him busy!

With a love for the platformer genre, I play this type of video game often. And video games can be costly, so I make sure that I get my money's worth of entertainment. Banjo Tooie is not a lame sequal to the incredible game, Banjo Kazooie. With Bear and Bird once again fighting together against the wretched Gruntilda, the original plot is sustained, only this time with dozens of new abilities.
+Throughout the nine levels, banjo and Kazooie can now split up and go their own ways.
- The levels aren't as original and unified as the Original Banjo Kazooie
**If you enjoy Banjo Kazooie, this is the game for you!!!

Just as good as the first, with new twists!Review created: 07/05/06

If you like the first Banjo game, this is the game for you! Challenging and fun.. you get to play as Banjo/Kazooie combined, or play as each character individually! There are new tests and challenges unique to each character, such as playing as Banjo and using the backpack to carry items. Very fun! All the things I love about the first game, but so many new elements to enjoy. A must have! =)

Fun game for kids. My son really enjoys it. He played it at a friend's house and while we have GameCube, he still likes to pull out the old N64 once in a while.

This Game Is Just As Good As The First But It Lacks The Magic The First One Had However The Game Is Addicting So My Conclusion Is for Those Who Loved The Bear And Bird Before Yo'll Love Them Again So Get One Now I've Been Playing Games Since 1997 And I Have Got To Say This Ones Great!!!!!

Banjo-Tooie for the win!2 of 2 people found this review helpful.
Banjo and Kazooie are back in "Banjo-Tooie" the slightly darker sequel to the ever-popular Banjo-Kazooie for the N64!
The word "sequel" typically has a bittersweet ring to it: it can either mean "more of a good thing" or "too bad it wasn't as good as the fist," and unfortunately the latter is far more common.
Banjo-Tooie, however, doesn't fall short of the first, but rather, exceeds it many areas. To make it easier to understand just how good this game is, I'll just break it down into categories.
Gameplay (5/5): This game is huge. In the original there were 10 levels, and in this game there are 9, but don't let that trick you into thinking this is any less of a game, or shorter for that matter. Each level is massive, and each jiggy is a challenge to get. Not only are there big (and I mean big), new levels to explore, but you start out on the original Spiral Mountain, and can even re-visit Grunty's Castle's lobby area (you can't go elswhere in the castle, but it's understandable, for memory reasons, and story-based reasons); revisiting old areas rarely occurs in other games, and was definately welcome in this one. Also, you start out with all of your original moves, including flying, using running shoes, wading boots, and invincibility. Many new moves have been added as well.
Sound/Music (5/5): Just as it was in Banjo-Kazooie, the music is very catchy; the original title screen and pause menu music were kept, but there is a new overworld theme and world music.
Replay value (5/5): A multiplayer has been added to this already awesome game, creating even more replay value than it already had. At certain points in the game, Banjo and Kazooie can also be played independantly of each other, and Mumbo Jumbo is also playable.
All in all this is a great game, a game that's tough to fit into a review. If you've played Banjo-Kazooie (and preferably beaten in, since this picks up where the first one left off; 2 years after, actually, but I don't want to give away any plot points), this is definately a necessary addition to your N64 library.

This is a fun game for all ages. There is so much you can do... warp to different areas, change into different items, such as a sub... ride on a train. Banjo can swim, fly, walk, run, jump...and many different worlds to explore.
You can play as a single player and there are mini games you can play with multiple players. Things to do, items to collect... and learn to expect the unexpected in this game. It's fun to watch and fun to play.
I highly recommend this game for all ages. Anyone old enough to play any games, teens, and adults as well... anyone who likes adventure. Good graphics, great color.

Banjo Tooie - Best Nintendo 64 Sequel Ever1 of 1 people found this review helpful.
Banjo Tooie is easily the best Nintendo 64 sequel ever made. Banjo Tooie is super fun, it has a groundbreaking game dynamics, and is one of the highest ranked Nintendo 64 games of all time.
Banjo Tooie was released by RARE in 2000 as the sequel to Banjo Kazooie. It was one of the most highly anticipated sequels of Nintendo 64 history, and for good reason. Banjo Tooie is a platform action adventure game that used groundbreaking level dynamics.
In classic platform games before Banjo Tooie such as Mario, or Sonic, there would be a level that you would have to beat and then you would move on and forget about it. The classic game layout was a series of levels linked by an over-world. Well, with Banjo Tooie, things have really changed. In this great game you have to constantly revisit levels as you learn new skills in order to unlock new areas and solve new puzzles. There is no traveling through an over-world. Instead you have to trek back through levels you beat in order to accomplish your quest. An innovative solution to cutting down time spent running all over the map was that RARE implemented a train that would take Banjo through the world, cutting travel time down. Although we may take this game aspect for granted now, and have seen many trains for inter-world transportation, there was a time when this revisiting of the same level with new skills was fresh. That was the time of Banjo Tooie!
