Banjo-Tooie | 4.0 0 comments |
by Kiker from , , Australia | May 15, 2005 |
THE GOOD: The inclusion of bosses. Mini-games. Fighting. They split up when you get to a certain bit of the game. First person shooting (with eggs though).THE BAD: Aside from two bosses, the bosses can be a little too easy. Jinjos can be annoying and hard to find. Slight camera issues. SUMMARY: Lastability: 7/10. A bit too short and easy. After killing the last boss and found the last jiggy, all that's left is either starting a new game again or multiplayer (which is cool). Graphics: 8/10. For it's time, the graphics are excellent. Still actually considered that today, though not so much. But still, it's hard to get textures and I guess the graphics in general like that in an N64 game, well, until Conker's Bad Fur Day that is. Sound: 7/10. Fairly repetitive, but it could've been worse. The voice acting is, I guess, spot on, and at least adds a bit of interest to scenes. More voice acting would've been alright, but it really depends on the voice actors in whole scenes though. Gameplay: 9/10. The platforming gameplay that was in the original is much better, with the addition of new moves (an improved ground pound, being able to hold onto ledges, and even splitting Banjo and Kazooie up), and some parts being like a first-person shooter, though the difference is that you're shooting eggs out of Kazooie instead of bullets out of a gun. Still, spot-on gameplay. Overall: 4.0/5.0. A sequel superior to the game before it. Here's hoping Banjo-Kazooie 3 for the Xbox 360 improves even more from Banjo-Tooie. |

THE GOOD: Great gameplay, there are lots and lots more to do.. even more than the predecessor had, there is another great storyline too.THE BAD: For this time around, there really isn’t anything. SUMMARY: Okay, Banjo-Kazooie was already such a phenomenal game, and now they toss this sequel at us, and it proves to be MUCH, MUCH more better than the predecessor. There isn’t much to say about it because it is basically much more of the same thing as Banjo-Kazooie was, only there are a quite a bit of changes here and there..
The gameplay is the same, except, the only thing changed is the fact that there are millions of other mini games that are included. There are also a lot of different ways to kill enemies, seeing as how there are many different new enemy types and also some other cool weapons/accessories that you are available to use. I really respect this game because its entirely fun, and it took me a really long time to beat it since there are too many things that you are capable of doing.
The fun factor is still there as the game mechanics don’t seem to change at all. Although, like ive said before, it has really taken quite a tuen upwards in all aspects of the game for it doesn’t seem to have any flaws at all. The boss battles are still intriguing and fun to do since there are a good bit of new bosses that you will face. The levels that you visit are also quite impressive, because now you have to work a lot harder just to get those puzzle pieces that didn’t really come that hard to get in the first game. I would recommend it to anyone who has played the first game, because even though its not required to know what happened in the first Banjo game, its still a lot better to know the story and stuff. A magnificent game. |

THE GOOD: i give this gamea2.5 because hink it could be a little more challenging. i think that the only thing in this holw game is the last world tthats means 7 boring worlds and1 good one. the final boss is also pretty trickey.THE BAD: i think game sucks alot because there is so much boring movees and 8 worlds just to get some stupid puzzles pieces. like man how low can u go. i think they shoud spice up this game alot by putting more exciting things than like puzzle pieces and little puny dinosoars caled jinjo's. and those lololololololol lame enemies the minjo's. SUMMARY: thisgame is about banjo the bear and kazooie the borid. they go to get revenge on there enemie grundy the witch for killing there frind the mole. so they set out finding one world at a time. in theworld that there and in they have to find jiggies, ( little puzzle pieces).on thereway they have to find little jinjo'ssince grundy has scatteredd all the jinjo'sall over the worldand they need to get there family back. |

Like I Said Before, Banjo Rocks! | 5.0 0 comments |
by InvaderHera from , , | Aug 15, 2004 |
THE GOOD: There are a lot of new powers, and the graphics and music is better. It is challenging, 'cause there's a lot of worlds and stuff. There's more bosses in this one. Yay! More enemies to beat with my amazing skill! Bwahahaha!THE BAD: If there was something bad, why would I give it a five? SUMMARY: I love this game! It's one of the best! The graphics are pretty good, and the characters still talk just as cute as before. Mumbo looks so much cuter, and the things you can turn into can actually attack. Joy! There are more Jinjos to get, and they're cuter, too. Grunty's just as cool in this. Now, you can play as Banjo or Kazooie all by themselves in certain places. Kazooie's so cute when she's not stuffed in a backpack. Jamjars is cool, too. He's better than Bottles. Stupid Bottles with his nerdier glasses. This game was so worth getting! Really! If you don't have it, get it now! I mean, if you can find it. Not many places sell it anymore. *sniff* So sad. |

Another Banjo Tooie review | 5.0 0 comments |
by MrSponget from , , Private | Jul 9, 2004 |
You're wondering why I'm making another review for this game. My other review was just plain bad and no one found it helpful. I'm making another review now.
Graphics 10/10 The graphics were great for the N64. They were clear.
Multiplayer 9/10 The multiplayer is great. Up to 4 players and great mini-games to play. It would even make a great party game.
Story 10/10 It continues from the first game and looks back to it. What platforming games do that?
Mini-games 8/10 The mini games are great but, soome of the are similar to each other though.
Sound 9/10 The sound was great but, no voice overs.
Gameplay 10/10 The gameplay is great! I enjoyed it. There's lots to do. Its a great platformer.
Overall 10/10 I enjoyed most of my time playing this game. The variety of stuff to do is great. The multiplaayer everything was awesome. I recommend you buy this. |

Banjo Tooie | 4.8 0 comments |
by Marionator 3000 from Madison, Wisconsin, United States | Mar 24, 2004 |
THE GOOD: 1) Has over 50 moves 2) You use more of your brain in this version 3) There are 7 times more characters than before 4) The jiggies involve more work 5) There are about 15 cheats in this game (no game shark) 6) Though some items from Banjo Kazooie are still here, many are used differently 7) The jinjos are collected very differently 8) You can make Banjo and Kazooie split up from each other, they have different moves 9) You can still see characters and 'secrets' from the last game 10) The game provides specific instructions for those who have not played Banjo Kazooie 11) The courses are listed properly in order from easiest to hardest 12) Few games actually let you replay mini games at a file select screen 13) Better graphicsTHE BAD: 1) There are 90 jiggies in this game instead of 100 2) The characters don't talk, there's just text 3) The characters skip certain very hard to notice mistakes SUMMARY: In Banjo Tooie, you see Gruntilda the witch be removed from a grave with no flesh (even though not dead) two years after getting beat up by the mighty jinjonator from Banjo Kazooie. Grunty and her sisters now return to a cauldron keep built by Grunty's sisters, Mingela and Blobelda. The sisters plan on using a life force sucking machine (B.O.B., Big-O-Blaster) to restore Grunty's carcass.
Honey B, Jamjars (Bottles' brother), Bottles (what's left of him), the magical book Cheato (punished by Grunty), and other old and new characters along with the TWO shaman Mumbo Jumbo (awesome spells) and Humba Wumba (new transformations) assist Banjo and Kazooie on their quest to stop Grunty's revenge and to save the Isle O' Hags from being a lifeless land, reason being the B.O.B. can charge up a blast on the whole island, giving the 'worthy' bear and bird some time.
Are the levels cool enough? Definetely! You can infiltrate Grunty's own industry (filthy!), explore a Mayan temple, discover the hag's secret gem mine, and probably going to be your favorite, you can even visit the world's most dangerous theme park. So dangerous, that it was closed due to the fact that people have died in sweet rides, new mini games, and tons of miscellaneous! Not to mention a special peak with lava and heat on one side and freezing to death on the other! Wierd! Plus if you like dinosaurs and the prehistorics, you will find it! If you love the underwater world, you, with Mumbo's don't worry about oxygen spell, can explore the lost city of Atlantis in Jolly Roger's Lagoon! But where's Gruntilda? Good luck in a castle surrounded by toxic waste, a sturdy draw bridge and the...electric portiguise! |

Twii_Light's Happy Little Review | 4.7 0 comments |
by Twii_Light from Hamilton, , New Zealand | Sep 21, 2003 |
THE GOOD: • Way better than Banjo-kazooie • You can go back to any mini-game you want • You can go back to any boss you want • The graphics have improved • The great levels!THE BAD: • Your nose and arms can go through walls, I was hoping they had improved that. • Less levels than Banjo-Kazooie SUMMARY: This is a really good game which I would recomend any time, any place. Though it might now be as good as X-BOX games and PS2 it is a really really good game for all-around age groups. Replay is an AWSOME new feature which lets you go back to any Movie, Mini-Game or Boss, it's so helpful! And yea! now theres Mini-Games and Bosses! And theres even Multi-player! I think this is one of the best game you can get for your nintendo. At my opinion, I think this game is worth $110 because the story-line is great and the levels are awsome. I like WitchyWorld and TerrydactyLand, those levels have had much thought put into them. I mean a theme park in a game? HOW CAN THAT NOT BE BORING!? and TerrydactyLand, those CaveMen are soooo funny! |

The BEST platformer! | 4.9 0 comments |
by seedot from , , | Sep 1, 2003 |
THE GOOD: >Take ages to complete >Loads of Cameos from other Rare games >Improved on from BanjoKazooie >The replayability >The multiplayer(Especially the shootouts) >And lots more!THE BAD: >the framerate slows just before you die.Weird! >Not as much jiggys as BanjoKazooie >Stop'n'Swop was closed down >Fighting Gruntilda was easier and less fun than in BK SUMMARY: The best that the N64 can offer, 3D platformer/Adventure wise! A bear and a bird join together in this sequel to Banjo Kazooie, trying to avenge Bottles the moles death by a witch!This may sound babyish, but under all the cute stuff leaves a hardcore platformer that only experts can finish(unless you spoil the game with a guide)!You learn moves, and deal with magic spells in order to collect enough golden jigsaw peices(More cammenly known as 'Jiggies')to take down the witch! You get jiggies by beating up bosses, doing hardcore puzzles, completing feindish mini-games, and lots more!Best of all, once you complete the mini-games, you can replay them or play them head-to-head with three other gamers!You need this game if you haven't got a mentall disorder! |

Banjo Whoie? | 4.3 0 comments |
by Master of the VG from San Diego, CA, | Aug 23, 2003 |
THE GOOD: Levels where a lot more fun than the first game The game was a lot more challenging this time The mini games were really fun The secrets in the last game finally come together.THE BAD: Those Jinjos are still there Separating was over rated SUMMARY: I really like this game. The mini games where really fun in this game. So fun that there were many time when I wouldn't actually play the game, I would just play the minigames. You can also play muliplayer with the minigames. The main single player part of the game is the same story as the last game. Get the Jiggies. This time Banjo and Kazooie can split up. This really isn't as fun as it sounds like. Controlling Mumbo Jumbo was kind of fun, but it also go old pretty fast. Thankfully most of the game has Banjo and Kazooie together. The boss battles where a nice addition. The levels where a whole lot better than the last games and were really fun. I also liked finding out what all those secrets did in Banjo Kazooie.
Bottom Line: If you liked Banjo Kazooie then you'll like this game. |
