When it comes to infusing fun and originally into their creations Rare back when they were on top form in the N64 era were the masters of their craft. Even when the game in question can be said to be a imitation of another well known title, in this case the superb all time classic platformer Super Mario 64, but this is certainly no carbon copy but a fun and innovative game in it's own right. In Banjo-Kazooie you play as a cartoonish bear called Banjo and his best friend Kazooie who is a bird contained within his backpack. These two characters work together in order to thwart the schemes of the evil witch Gruntilda who holds Banjo's sister in her ...  Read the complete review

There are many games producers that consistently create thoroughly entertaining, playable and enjoyable games. Rare is definitely one of them. You don’t have to look far to see what I’m on about – Goldeneye, Diddy Kong Racing, Perfect Dark and this absolute classic, Banjo Kazooie. It’s a 3D platform game whilst managing to include an adventure element that’s both difficult and humorous. Not many games can make that claim. As Banjo the bear, you head out with Kazooie to travel through an enormous amount of levels that are very cleverly linked together enabling a totally fluid element that allows you to return to previous levels ...  Read the complete review

This was one of the first games I played on the N64 and I found it utterly amazing! You basically walk through the world of Banjo, (a bear) and his best mate Kazooie, (a bird) in order to save Banjo's little sister. Throughout the game Kazooie learns more tricks which helps Banjo along, from a mole. You also meet a wide range of characters, some quite funny, which help you along your way! As I said before this game is amazing and fully recommend it to anyone, the only let down was that it's quite easy to complete and you will see familarities to Mario 64. Apart from that I found it very bright, colourful and entertaining! ...  Read the complete review

Banjo-Kazooie is a magnificent game, and there is a lot of controvery over, if Banjo is better than Mario 64 or not? In my opinion, yes and no. When you look at it in terms of level size, variety, graphics and gameplay, it does beat Mario but only by a slight margin in some cases. Banjo has loads of levels for you to fight your way through, and it is a game you can always go back to. It is one of those type of games that each time you go back to a certain area, you discover something you never saw before. In the case of rememerable characters, if someone said to you..."What game would you associate the Nintendo with?"...you are hardly likely ...  Read the complete review
