One morning while Banjo the honey bear is sleeping soundly Grunty, the fat ugly witch, swoops down from her lair and kidnapps Banjo's sister, Tooty! Kazooie the breegull quickly alerts Banjo and the strange duo run outside. From this point there are only crazy colorful adventures full of equally colorful and very well written characters including ...  Read the complete review

This was my first ever Nintendo 64 game, which I got on Christmas day with my Nintendo 64 console. I have been playing it ever since, and come to know it very well, and in my view it's a great game, not just for kids but for people of all ages. The main characters are Banjo the honey bear, and Kazooie the breegull. When Gruntilda the ...  Read the complete review

I was given Banjo Kazooie as my first Nintendo 64 game for Christmas a few years ago, and still enjoy playing it now. I completed it with great challenge, but I enjoyed going through each different world/level, as the difficulty rose. Banjo is a loveable bear whos sister is kidnapped by an evil witch. By using your controls and a series of moves, ...  Read the complete review

What do you get when you cross a bear with a bird? Give up? Aw, c'mon, you haven't even tried any freaky genetic experiments yet . . . okay, what if the bear just wore a backpack that contained the bird in it? Okay quit guessing you get Banjo-Kazooie. The object of Banjo-Kazooie is simple - rescue your sister (What not you ...  Read the complete review

Banjo Kazooie is a great game that sums up a lot about why the N64 failed. It's a great game - it exudes playability and really uses the N64. It's also indicative of the public's perception of the N64 - Primary coloured, childish themes and a 3D platformer. These preconceptions bely what is in fact a classic. Banjo-Kazooie ...  Read the complete review

Banjo Kazooie is yet another great game by nintendo, there are many levels to explore and puzzles to solve which makes this game last unlike some games which you pay for and finish in a day. The training at the beginng of the game is very use full as it tells you all the things you (banjo) and kazooie your bird can do. Further ...  Read the complete review

Rareware have always delivered great games and this is no exception. As an 11 year old Nintendo fan I have quite a lot of experience of several platform/puzzlers. Easy controls, a huge amount of moves and a bright cartoony style make this a great one. Banjo-Kazooie is a great game for platform/puzzle fans. One annoying thing is that the ...  Read the complete review

A "Dream" Come True There's no denying the fact that Banjo-Kazooie borrows from Mario 64 in more ways than one. Both games are extremely cute 3D platformers with a variation of the same story, a near identical control scheme and a strikingly similar theme of levels. Mario collects stars. Banjo and Kazooie collect jiggies. Mario ...  Read the complete review

Some people think that Banjo Kazooie is a load of old tripe and should never of been published in the first place but I disagree. The fact that it can be enjoyed by children of all ages (5-95) is great and the graphics are brilliant. It could of been better if the characters spoke instead of mumbled but its still great the way it is. One of the ...  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 ...  Read the complete review

It's a good game - Advantages: It's FUN - Disadvantages: NONE

Well, Rare have given us a yet another excellent game in the form of a Banjo-Kazooie. This is a classic platformer that will keep you entertained endlessly (until you've completed it that is!). You take control of a bear called Banjo. You are drawn to rescue your younger sister who has been kidnapped by the local witch. The witch ...  Read the complete review

To be honest I was realy turned off about this game before I played it simply because I thought characters were all realy lame and kiddie like.Then I was at a local Blockbuster video and saw Banjo used for $20 so I decided why not i`ll try it.Boy was I ever glad that I did. When the N64 first came out everyone went crazy over Mario 64 and how ...  Read the complete review

This game has great graphics. The sound and music is great. But it has a weak and extremely cheap story line. The game is based for 3 year olds. But it is too complicated for a 7 year old. I beat this game in two days. I let my neighbours 7 year old son borrow it. In about 2 weeks he was still in the beginning trying to find all the moves. I had ...  Read the complete review

A few weeks before E3 (Electronics Entertainment Expo) '97, Rare and Nintendo leaked word of the British developer's next big game, simply dubbed "Project Dream." It wasn't long before the game, largely because of its mysterious name, was the focus of huge hype and media coverage. Nobody knew anything about it, but many were ...  Read the complete review

This is another masterpiece from Rare. From the beginning you just know that it is going to be a great game and as you get nearer and nearer to the end it just gets better and better. The quiz at the end is just another great idea from Rare and is such an enjoyable part of te game. The ability to change into an ant, croc, bee etc. is just ...  Read the complete review

Having played Mario 64 to death when the N64 came out, I bought Banjo on the day of release a couple of years ago. It took me a while to complete, but I managed the whole lot, all the jiggys, allthe notes and all the jinjos everthing. Its a lovely game. It plays well, the graphics are clear and crisp, the control is good, the sound and music is ...  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 ...  Read the complete review
