players choice

Boy was it a mistake for me to buy this one. I can barely tear myself away from it! Bajo-Tooie not only lives up to it's proceder, it surpasses it! The worlds are bigger and filled with even more interesting puzzles to get through.

In Banjo-Tooie our loyal and slightly dim-witted Banjo, and our witty Kazooie have a lot to do. After the loss of a dear friend they not only need to seek revenge but stop Grunty from sucking the life out of the world. They not only have puzzle pieces and notes to collect this time but Jinjos and Chetoo pages. ANd some of these things involve splitting up or using Mumbo the Shamen. You'll meet a lot of new and interesting charecters like Jamjars (Boggles brother), Grunty's sisters, King Jinaling, Honey Bee (who shamelessly flirts with our favriote bear), and much more. You'll meet some old friends too.

I myself haven't finished this game. Banjo wasn't kidding when he said it's not gonna be so easy this time! I'm in Jolly Roger's new world (which I've nicknamed the lalnd of the money grubbers). I know you'll have just as much fun as I have. So if you've conqured Banjo-Kazooie try this one. I guarentee you'll love it!

I bought Banjo-Kazooie when it first came out. I was awaiting its arrival for a long time. I played and was amazed, but thats another story. Anyway, throughout the game I spottend the Ice Key, and a door of sand that I could not pass. I found many things that just happened to look "strange". I found my answer to these questions when I finished the game.... and found out about Banjo-Tooie. My curiosity rose and I jumped to the Internet. Lo and behold, there would be a sequal to Banjo-Kazooie that would be better, bigger, harder, and would solve those puzzling things in Banjo-Kazooie.

I awaited two years and now I own Banjo-Tooie. It was amazingly built. The graphics are amazing (yet it doesn't need an Expansion Pack), the music is catchy, and even the shawdow of the two buddies looks real! There are new characters such as Humba Wumba, JamJars, and King Jingaling. And some old favorites like Mumbo Jumbo, Bottles, and old Grunty herself! You can play as Mumbo, and the new transformations are just marvelous! The game is harder than before, and not all the jiggys can be found when you first enter the world. It takes time and patience, but its so much fun along the way! You still need to collect the poor Jinjos, and collect notes and feathers, but the eggs are enhanced, and notes are not as hard to find.

Although the game is absolutley wonderful, you won't be able to do the famous Stop N' Swap. No, you don't get to go into the WHOLE lair from the past game, the two eggs and the Ice Key are installed into Banjo-Tooie sadly...

But I would still recomend this game to anyone who likes a challenge and baddies with two bigs white eyes on them! Its a game that you will want to play over and over again. There are tons of codes for the GameShark, and if you don't happen to have a GameShark, there are plenty that the GameShark doesn't have to enter into the game itself... just like in the old game! This game is the best game that 2000 could have!

This may be one of Rare's last truly great games. It doesn't change much from its predecessor, but it's longer, bigger, and prettier. The boss battles are a lot bigger, and the level designs are still good. One thing about this game that I appreciate is the coherent style expressed throughout the game; the graphics, animation, and silly voices keep you in the game right to the end. Banjo-Kazooie and Banjo-Tooie both need to be in your Nintendo 64 collection.
