Banjo-Kazooie

Banjo Kazooie

  • The worlds in Banjo-Kazooie are gigantic, and chock full of crazy items to collect
  • Musical Clarification, Puzzle Pieces, Mumbo Tokens, and Jinjoes are just some of the swag that Banjo must stuff in his backpack to complete his adventure
  • While some of the necessary items are simply stashed off the beaten path, others will require puzzle solving skills to turn up.

Editorial Review
Banjo-Kazooie mimics the look and feel of Mario 64, a truly innovative and visually stunning game that belongs in any Nintendo 64 pool. 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 legendary 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 learn 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 perfectly-rendered and massive game world, players run, jump, swim, climb, and flip over obstacles, defeat all sorts of “baddies,” and find and collect copious 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 owing to the nine worlds.

Banjo-Kazooie is one of those sports meeting 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

  • Nicely-paced game world filled with well-designed challenges
  • Brilliant character control with copious special moves
