What Happened?
The worst thing about this game is the fact that the characters in the game don't talk and instead you are forced to read everything in text. As if this is not bad enough, the text is scrolled across the screen in tiny very hard to read text. This feature immediately made it impossible to have any emotional connection to the game.
Even though the Game environments are absolutely top notch and the graphics fantastic, the missions themselves are not very interesting and the game just feels like its targeted at small kids, rather than someone in their twenties.
As someone who has never played the previous Banjo Kazooie games I am also super disappointed that RARE has reduced Kazooie to virtually a completely Superfluous character with no real functionality. I would have preferred to see Kazooie fly rather than have him replaced with the whole Vehicle thing.
The entire game just felt to me like a series of bad decisions, and I can honestly say that I am normally easily satisfied and greatly enjoyed RARE's previous masterpiece KAMEO, but this is just plain disappointing.
I have read someone say that they are prefering to play this game instead of GEAR 2 (in my opinion the BEST game I have ever played, besides BIOSHOCK) ............I say to that person have you actually played both games???
