Banjo-Tooie (N64)

This game has become one of the most highly sought after and therefore hard to find N64 games around. After finally completing Banjo-Kazooie (after about a year!) and hearing about it at the end of the game I couldn't wait for this sequel. Although it was released here in April 2001 - for some reason a whole five months after the American and Japanese releases - I didn't manage to get a copy until a couple of years ago and even then it cost £30 without an instruction book! Banjo-Kazooie was the first game I owned and remains a favourite of mine, so I was really looking forward to this sequel after playing through the first one several times and wanting ...  Read the complete review

After months of painful delays and as much hype as we can take, Banjo Tooie is here and Rare has done it again. Sometimes you think they cannot go wrong. This time they have made a sequel to Banjo Kazooie. Banjo Kazooie was one of the best games of the summer 2 years ago. People thought it could not be improved, well prepare to be proved wrong. Banjo Tooie is set a couple of years after the original. We al thought the evil witch, Gruntilda had long since passed away, but her evil twin sisters have a plot to save her from her grave and her a new, nicer body- well I say good luck to you! The cost of re-incarnating Gruntilda is going to be at the cost of some of ...  Read the complete review

Yes this is it! The long awaited sequel to the massively popular Banjo Kazooie. Banjo Tooie is about 3 times bigger than the original. The game follows on from Banjo Kazooie and contains many plot twists which I do not want to reveal here! If you have played the original then you will love this. When you start you have all the original Banjo Kazooie moves at you disposal. However in Banjo Tooie there are a whole new array of better and more powerful moves for you to learn. Probably the best is the Split Up which allows you to control either Banjo or Kazooie. This is vital if you wish to complete the game. The other new move is the ability to use Kazooie to ...  Read the complete review

Finally, after a long long wait and what seemed like one delay in release after another, I have my hands on a copy of Banjo Tooie for the N64. And since it arrived, hubby and I have spent many a happy hour pounding the joypad for all we’re worth. Banjo Tooie certainly lived up to our expectations, and more! What’s it all about then? Well it’s the sequel to the very popular and much loved roaming adventure game, Banjo Kazooie. The game centres on two stars, Banjo the Bear and his sidekick, Kazooie the Breegull, a type of gull with a big beak and an unfortunate habit of speaking her mind, often to the point of being incredibly rude. It’s an ...  Read the complete review

If you thought Banjo-Kazooie was good, wait until you get your hands on this mind-boggling game! Rareware have really excelled themselves this time, by producing a game that will get you glued to your t.v screen. But beware, you are letting yourselves in for a huge, and thrilling challenge. What is the story? After defeating the witch at the end of Banjo- Kazooie, Banjo the honey bear, and his good friend Kazooie the breegul are back. What they don’t know, is that Grunty is free to roam Spiral Mountain once again. She, of course, has a small matter of revenge to deal with, and poor Bottles the mole is the victim. So once again, Banjo and Kazooie ...  Read the complete review
