Just You Wait 'Til Banjo Tooie!

Advantages: Slighty Updated Graphics/ Bigger Levels/ Lots Of Fun
Disadvantages: Slight slow down/ Home to a out-dated console/ Back Tracking

Banjo Kazooie fans after putting their heart and soul in to acquiring every single golden jigsaw piece in 'Banjo Kazooie' were rewarded with a special ending sequence after the completion of the game, and were informed that a sequel, jokingly called 'Banjo Tooie' would released. The wait for this sequel lasted from 1998 until 2001, and many fans of the original were very eager to grab this game for two reasons. One, it was a sequel to 'Banjo Kazooie', ...
...stars of the game are Banjo the yellow shorts and blue rucksack wearing honey bear. His insulting friend, a rare type of breegull named 'Kazooie' resides in Banjo's rucksack, spitting out her sarcastic comments to other less fortunate characters which are littered throughout of the game. Following on from the original game, in which at the finale the evil green skinned warty witch, Gruntilda, was defeated by Banjo, she fell from atop of her lair ...

no dont do it

Advantages: none
Disadvantages: its rubbish

This game looks like a game designed for 8 year olds, but is in fact very difficult to play. The concept behind the game itself is a load of bull. What is good about pretending to be a glove running around on a changeable ball? In my opinion the producers of this game are either sad or out of touch. It is very strategy based, and so is good for a rainy day, but if you are looking for excitement, look elsewhere. nuy this as a xmas present for somebody ...

A leg and an arm take 2

Advantages: Very playable, graphics
Disadvantages: none

...In this game, Rayman has one simple goal: Defeat the evil pirates from Rayman’s world. Sounds simple enough, but it is one tough challenge and completing the game properly takes time, patience and a host of skills. Let’s have a look at this ace platformer. Evil mechanical pirates led by the maniacal Razorbeard are enslaving the population of Rayman's world. It's up to you, the hero, to collect four magical masks that, once united, will ...
...good. Very crisp and sharp. Rayman moves smoothly throughout the game and inter-acts well with the surrounding world. The characters look stunning and the boss battles are fantastically animated. The game is in full 3-D too. The game makes full use of the Memory expansion- I recommend you one to see the game in it’s full glories. I was very impressed with the graphics- sometimes makes you forgot that Rayman is missing a leg and an arm! The ...

Mario 64, evolution in gaming.

Advantages: Nostalgic, great for kids, excellent score, long gameplay and massive worlds.
Disadvantages: Some very difficult tasks, camera annoying and music repeated

...the first moment I played Super Mario 64 and an Nintendo 64 which the game is played through I was in awe at the graphics, everything being very colourful and most objects represented using simple shapes and textures. The way Mario 64 is displayed is excellent and works very well with the Nintendo 64's processing abilities. The use of a joystick as a controller for mario 64 also produced a smooth controlled way of controlling mario in his 3 dimensional ...
...great but the gameplay is also, I think it is great that the game managed to incorporate flying, sliding and racing as means to complete tasks and on the topic of tasks the whole game is massive, there a more than a dozen worlds to explore, secret areas hidden in the Princess Toadstools castle which acts as the hub world connecting everywhere else. There are 120 stars to be collected in the game and once you have completed it once you are granted ...

Banjo Kazooie is fabulous

Advantages: good for all ages, long game time
Disadvantages: hard to get a hold of nowadays

...*Storyline* You play Banjo the bear and Kazzoie the Breegul, who go everywhere together (Kazooie lives in Banjo's backpack). Banjo's sister Tootie has been kidnapped by the evil witch Grunty, who is ugly but wants to steal Tootie's prettiness to make her a beautiful witch. You must go to Grunty's lair to try and rescue Tootie. You make your way through the lair and 10 different levels which you must unlock. You progress through the lair by collecting ...
...in the game that help Banjo and Kazooie. Bottles the moles gives you advice and teaches you new moves, Mumbo Jumbo the Shaman turns you into animals etc. so that you can do certain things and Brentilda the witch tells you secrets about Grunty which help you later in the game. There are also many other characters who you meet in the levels, who you must help to obtain jiggies etc. *Overall* Overall this is a great game that can be enjoyed by all ...
