A true masterpiece! Too small box to say much. Read my review to find out why this game is so darn great!
Let's find out.
This game a really original story, which goes something like this:
You are Banjo and Kazooie a Bear with a Bird in his back-pack. (I'll go further into that later.) and Banjo's sister has been kidnapped by an evil witch, Gruntilda or Grunty which wants to steal the young girl's beauty and destroy Banjo and Kazooie once and for all.
So now Banjo and his friend has to go save the little bear, but to do this they have to explore te many different worlds, but to unlock these he has to find Jiggies, golden parts of the jiggsaw puzzles which open up new worlds.
That is the story which is original and interesting as you dig further into the game.
The characters in this game are very, very unique, I mean, a Bear and a Bird?!
A big king puzzle-piece which helps you open new worlds?!
Some kind of thing with a skull instead of a head that can use magic and help you on your journey?!
Some kind of Indian woman that turns you into the most unbelivable things if you find a little pink thing that you throw in the pool inside her tent?!
Do i need to say any more?
Collectables... There are so many!
You have to find Jiggies to unlock new worlds, you find Jinjos which are little people with big noses in different colors that if you find enough will give you another collectable, you can find cheat pages which lets you go to cheato a big flying book of cheats which will teach you more and better cheats the more pages you get! There are notes that can be used to unlock special abilities learned by some kind of military badger of some sort which teaches you all these different things like drilling with Kazooie's beak, splitting the two characters up making banjo hit with his backpacka and much more.
You also have to collect these notes to find this badger in other places which will teach you to use new ammo (eggs) including fire-eggs, frost-eggs, bomb-eggs and many more, these eggs can also be called collectibles, since if you collect more you can shoot more. As i said there is so many collectables in htis game you almost go sick! There are even more, but I wiónt give away too many spoilers.
The different worlds are very varied and creative, there is a water world, a world up in the clouds, a fire and ice world and many more and all of these hold jiggies, jinjos, notes, red feathers, golden feathers, and man... Whoops...
I gave away two of the spoilers i was keeping from you...
Well they aren't really any big deals.
In each world you can find this badger that i told you about who will teach you many new skills. These skills are distributed with great thought, in one occation you have to go to around world 6 just to learn a skill to be able to go back to like world 2 to get another one which you will need for * ***** ***** *** *** *** *** ******* ***** *** **** **** ** *** *** **** ***** **** *** **** *** * ****** ***** ** **** ****** ******* **** ** turn kazooie into a dragon (It was such a big spoiler i had to * it.)
The music in this game also has exellent timing, gives you creepy music when it has to, and adventure music when it's appropriate.
Oh and by the way, the graphics in this game is is GOGEOUS, it is some of the best, most colorful and detailed graphics I have ever seen on the N64!
This has so much replay value that i have played through it several times and spent probably over 200 hours playing it!
I know I've forgotten something in this review, but I'll edit it later on...
