Banjo-Tooie

"I keep coming back for more."

Well we are back for another adventure in the world of Banjo and Kazooie. This time around, Rare did not take much of a kiddy look. They did a more deeper and gloomy story line that will go further than Banjo-Kazooie. And I will say it again, you will be coming back for more and more.

Story: 9/10 The story is just remarkable. The plot is the one of the best yet. Though, I gave the game 9 out of 10 is because they could have gone further with the story line and have gone a step further. Rare should have put a plot with a twist.

Graphics: 9/10 The graphics are great but there is one set back of having the framerate. The framerate drops sometimes if you are in some place with loads of enemies present. The graphics are one step further from Banjo-Kazooie. Some of the scenes shine yet again the factor of having the framerate with you.

Sound: 9/10 The sound was just remarkable. It is one of the key things in this baby. Though I prefer the Banjo-Kazooie music better. I think this is because the music in Banjo-Tooie was not as cheery. Also, the sound in this game was fitting into the surroundings. There is aqua type music for watery places and guess what even some sort of Pirate music.

Gameplay: 10/10 Moves galore! So many things to do!! You would just wanna love this game to death!!! The gameplay is just like the first game but only better. I will say it again, so many things to do like the transformations, jiggys, quizzes, mini games and the list keeps going and going! The multiplayer will keep you in stitches!

Replay: 10/10 I am still going back to this game and relive the magic of the game! I feel at piece when I am playing this game. You are going to be coming back for more and more. At night, you will not be able to sleep due to the fact that Banjo-Tooie is just sitting there in your Nintendo 64 slot just waiting to be played. This game is beyond belief classic.

Rent/Buy: What do I think of this? I think that you should stop looking at this review and get yourself a copy of this game right now!! GO! GO! If you rent it, you would just keep on renting it because due to the fact that it is Rare and we all love their games!! No person can go without this game. If you are a collector of classic games and you do not have this game, you do not and I mean do not have a collection. This game is a platinum knock out.
