Banjo Tooie (N64)

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 ...

Review of Banjo Tooie (N64)

...since the enormously popular original Banjo Kazooie. After what seemed like an eternity, we were finally able to get our hands on the game and get stuck into some serious joypad bashing. We’re now totally addicted, it’s that kind of game, you’ll find yourself saying, ‘I’ll just get this last jigsaw piece and then I’ll stop’. An hour later, you’ll still be totally engrossed! Banjo Tooie certainly lived ...
...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 adventure game that continues from where the original left off. At the end of the original game, the villain(ess?) of the piece, Gruntilda the Witch, was disposed of and buried ...

Review of Banjo Tooie (N64)

...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 ...
...Rare have obviously looked through Banjo Kazooie and picked up on all the minus’s (the few that were there) and made them into plus’s for the new game. Many expected to see a very similar game to the original. Well eh-er. NO! The only similarities you will find from BK in BT are some old faces and old moves. There are new worlds to be explored, new characters to meet and new items to pick up. Also, one of my personal favorites, the ability ...

Review of Banjo Tooie (N64)

...gave the world Perfect Dark, Banjo Kazooie, Conker and Goldeneye wouldn’t you? You would expect the same company that produced classics such as Conker to deliver breathtaking worlds and environments for gamers to revel in well deliver they have! Rare have done it again by toping everything done previously in platform games and then went and did that little bit extra and if you think that this is “just another platformer” well that ...
...to any other game! Banjo Tooie starts off where Banjo Kazooie left off, after defeating the wicked witch Gruntilda, Banjo and friends are playing a card game when Gruntilda’s two sisters turn up and free her from the rock that had trapped her for so long, and in a rage of revenge she destroys the Banjo household and all that was in it including everyone’s favorite mole Bottles! This does not go down well with Banjo and Kazooie who with ...

Review of Banjo Tooie (N64)

...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 set off on an adventure to stop the witch once and for all. What’s new? Now, you can replay parts of the game to your heart’s ...
...and you will find yourself watching Banjo, Kazooie and Mumbo-Jumbo (yes, he is now a playable character!) fighting baddies, revealing secrets and opening new worlds. You can also play mini-games from Banjo-Tooie by yourself or with some friends. Why don’t you have a tournament and challenge your mates to beat the king of Banjo-Tooie? There are also new characters, such as Bottles’ brother Jamjars, Mumbo-Jumbo’s rival, Humba Wumba, ...

Review of Banjo Tooie (N64)

Banjo and Kazooie were Rare’s first platform game on the N64, it features a bear (Banjo) who carries his friend, a bird (Kazooie), around in his back pack! They had to rescue Banjo’s sister from an evil witch! I’ve got all the other ‘Rare’ platformers, included Banjo Kazooie so I was always waiting for this sequel to emerge. It continues two years after the events of the original and carries on in much the same fashion ...
...as Mumbo or a transformed Banjo and Kazooie, ie not enough of the bird and the bear, but I soon got over this. Also you are able to split the two up once you learn how! Kazooie gets to go it alone! The graphics are top notch as is the sound. The bosses are huge, even bigger than the ones in the first game and to top it all off it is reasonably difficult, more so than the original but it assumed that you have already played that to death. On that ...

Review of Banjo Tooie (N64)

...3D landscapes of Mario 64. Banjo Tooie is Rares third attempt at the 3D platform genre, and in my opinion they have created some of the best games available today. The story revolves around Banjo and Kazooie, the bear and bird double act from the original game. The two of them make a great team, and compliment each other perfectly. Banjo the dopey Honey Bear and Kazooie the wise cracking bird, the dialogue for the two is written in a way that it ...
...can’t really go wrong with Banjo Tooie, it’s an extremely polished game with an insane amount of depth and detail to it. I found that there is a lot more variety in the levels and objectives, than its predecessor Banjo Kazooie. Where as in the original a lot of the puzzles involved you firing an egg into A to get to B, a lot of the time in the sequel you will find yourself having to do various tasks in different worlds to get to B. The ...

Review of Banjo Tooie (N64)

...who was playing cards with Banjo and Kazooie. With the help of the local shaman Mumbo Jumbo the pair embark on a quest to once again destroy the evil witch and her two sisters and to avenge Bottles. The gameplay remains the same as ‘Banjo Kazooie’ if not better. The graphics are gorgeous and simply stunning, and the characters are numerous and diverse. Whilst the game may appeal to younger kids the game is actually quite tricky and by ...
...in an almost optical orgy that will make you gasp in wonder at various worlds and landscapes. New moves are of course included as well as the old ones and the worlds are now linked together by tunnels increasing the opportunity to gain Jiggys. The worlds range from oceans to ancient temples and from industrial sites to prehistoric valleys. ‘Banjo Tooie’ is an enormous rich tapestry of delightful colour, sound, graphics and characters ...

Review of Banjo Tooie (N64)

...form,and standing on it.Even when Banjo and Kazooie split up,it´s almost in order for them to stand on two seperate switches that open another door.But then,when Rare aren´t cynically extending Banjo-tooie´s lifespan by withholding moves or making you wander back and forth between Humba´s hut to to transform,they´re charming you with some top notch puzzles.Tensely tip-toeing up to a caveman´s treasure;using spluttering generators in a pitch-black ...

Review of Banjo Tooie (N64)

You get to travel through levels, turn into different people, experience the magic, and surprisingly you get to go on a roller coster as there is a actual theme park in one of the levels. This is probably my favourite games, it is adventurous,genius,great graphics,eye catching and theres so many levels to keep you occupied. This is a game like Zelda, one of those games which you can't just complete in seconds its really intresting and you can't take ...
...they have made it, other people might think i might as well give up because its so long, but its great and enjoyable and you want to stay and you want to complete it and throughout the game you are loving every single part of it and you just want to spend hours on it, (which you probably do) but who can blame you. The graphics are amazing, and many people who have played on the playstation 2 have experienced the fantastic graphics well banjo-tooie ...

Review of Banjo Tooie (N64)

Banjo Kazooie was one of the best games from Rare on the Nintendo 64, besides Perfect Dark. The game was one of the most highly rated, until now. Banjo Tooie burst onto the scene and had everything that a computer game should have. A great adventure game and a solid multiplayer which should have you going for hours. The game starts off with Banjo and Kazooie along with Bottles and Mumbo Jumbo playing cards. A noise is heard as Grunty's sisters outside ...
...sees this and tells the others, they all come out, except for Bottles the mole. He's fried and the adventure begins. Grunty and her sisters use a machine to suck the life out of everything to give her life. Your job is to stop her. You go through 8 playable worlds full of fantastic puzzles that will have you puzzled for ages trying to figure out how to get that last puzzle piece. The cheats in the game have to be activated from special places by ...
