A great sequel to one of the best games from Rare.
User Rating: 9.5 | Banjo to Kazooie no Daibouken 2 N64
I just completed the game last night. I had a great time playing this game. This game is A LOT more difficult than Banjo-Kazooie. Most of the puzzles are very difficult, and it takes more than one trip to get all of the Jiggys. In Banjo-Kazooie the levels were pretty linear, and you can get all of the jiggys in one trip. In Banjo-Tooie however, the levels are huge, and at least 1/4 of the jiggys take more than one trip to get. You have to know certain moves to get them, same with the Jinjos, Hollow Honeycombs, Cheato Pages etc. All of the worlds in Banjo-Tooie are linked together, so you can ride Chuffy the Train anywhere you want to save you time on travelling to other levels without having to warp from the Isle of Hags' areas. The story is pretty good in this game. There is some funny dialogue, and some epic moments. Gruntilda returns as a living skeleton, and Banjo and Kazooie must take her down AGAIN to save their world. The music in this game is excellent, but in my mind could have been a bit better. Overall, here are the good and bad of Banjo-Tooie:
The Good:
+ Excellent gameplay
+ Your favorite characters from Banjo-Kazooie
+ Lots of Jiggys to collect
+ Great story
+ New moves to learn
+ Kick Gruntilda's butt again :)
+ Brilliant level design
The Bad:
- The levels are huge
- 1/4 of the Jiggys take more than one trip to get
- Hard difficulty
- Some of the bosses and puzzles are very frustrating
- A tiny bit of the dialogue is too childish
- The music to me could have been a little bit better.
Try this game out, I am sure that you will like it :)!
