Banjo-Kazooie

This is one of the funniest games I have ever played. Great Gameplay with excellent moves to learn. Zany story that might catch your interest. Recommended for any Video Game Fan who will try anything once. Don't take my word for it, Rent it or buy it yourself.

This game is EXCELLENT! a perfect family game that someone of any age can play! Its a decently lengthy game so you wont be able to beat it in 2 days. When I played it it took me and my family about 8 months to beat it. There are some parts that are hard, but still fun. And after your figure out how to get through the hard part, you see that it was very obvious. A goofy story line and great characters, this game is #1 on my list for ever! Banjo and Kazooie's hilarious comedy keeps you into it all the way! If you have played this game, or are planning to, I would also recommend Banjo-Tooie. The sequel to this great game.

Rareware is planning on making a Banjo-Kazooie 3 sometime soon. There has not yet been a release date on this, but it will definitely be on the Xbox 360.

If you haven't played this game yet then you have NO IDEA what your missing! So get out of your mom's basement and go play: Banjo-Kazooie for N64

This game has to be one of my favorites. I was instantly hooked to the strangely-entertaining story, goofy characters, assortment of levels, music, graphics and control (which are surprisingly good for N64), and difficulty. Everything from Gobi's Valley to Freezeezy Peak (sp?), from Mad Monster Mansion to Click Clock Wood, from Treasure Trove Cove to Grunty's Furnace Fun. I guarantee at least one of the tunes to get stuck in your head for good, especially Gruntilda's Lair. It may look just like your average kid's game, but it is actually quite hard to beat, since you must collect about 99.9% of all items, which is no small task. If you are bored and have a loony sense of humor, check this game out and its sequel, Banjo-Tooie. Rare Ware makes great games.

Banjo-Kazooie is a joy to play after all these years, with so much atmosphere, lush worlds loaded with things to collect and puzzles to solve, using you own wits and sense of navigation to track down all the jiggies aswell as learning an array of creative moves with the help of your feathered friend. With memorable characters and the unique and charming Rareware humor sprinkles throughout, this game will always put you in a cheerful mood when you sit down and play it.

The overworld of Gruntilda's castle is complex and layered with many secrets to find aswell with some very well crafted and designed worlds that will leave a memorable impact on you that just begs to be explored. There are secrets behind every corner as the people who designed this game are british crackwits, the game's soundtrack by Grant Kirkhope is what makes the game however and it just wouldn't be the same without him.

It really is suprising just how smartly designed this game really is, oozing with charm and creativity. It's still just as great to play today as it was years ago and I recommend it to anyone

Rare was once a promising video game developer, particularly during their days with Nintendo. Their first big seller game was Diddy Kong Racing where the characters Banjo and Kazooie made their debut.

Following the release of that racing game, Banjo and Kazooie became star characters in their own right when they appeared in the game Banjo-Kazooie. Lucky for them, that game too was a big seller. Banjo-Kazooie would have sequel in Banjo-Tooie, and that one made even a bigger sale.

After getting booted by Nintendo years later, Rare saw new life after teaming with Microsoft. Banjo and Kazooie then appeared in a new game called Banjo-Kazooie: Nuts and Bolts. Although it did not sell as many copies as the two previous games, Banjo-Kazooie: Nuts and Bolts was able to achieve platinum hit status, a title achieve by Xbox or Xbox 360 games that sold 400,000+ copies within 9 months of release.

Because of showing such marketability, Banjo and Kazooie are absolutely Rare's true cash cows. Conker the Squirrel could have been a cash cow too but Rare destroyed that character.
