Editorial Reviews:
Banjo-Kazooie mimics the look and feel of Mario 64, a truly innovative and visually stunning game that belongs in any Nintendo 64 collection. But don't brush off this 3-D action-adventure as an uninspired clone. On the contrary, Banjo-Kazooie introduces more than enough originality to warrant a spot next to its famous mentor.The game introduces two of the most charming virtual heroes in recent years--the goofy, floppy honey bear, Banjo, and his faithful, feathered sidekick Kazooie. In the game's introduction, we discover that the sinister witch Gruntilda not only nabbed Banjo's sister Tooty, but stole her beauty as well. Naturally, it's up to the bear-bird team to retrieve Tooty and rid the world of one darned inconsiderate witch.
In this beautifully-rendered and massive game world, players run, jump, swim, climb, and flip over obstacles, defeat all sorts of "baddies," and find and collect numerous items and clues that help the quest to progress. Playing as both Banjo and Kazooie, players hone their characters' actions, learning nearly two dozen special moves that help players expertly defeat foes and successfully tread through the nine worlds.
Banjo-Kazooie is one of those games that can demand hours upon hours of perseverance, patience, and learning of skills to complete. But don't let that discourage you. This epic game is so much fun that reaching the end will be an afterthought. --Eric Twelker
Pros:
- Nicely-paced game world filled with well-designed challenges
- Excellent character control with numerous special moves
- Gorgeous graphics
- Numerous--often complex--special moves may discourage some casual gamers

Summary: Beautiful, mind-blowing, and fun!
Comment: I bought Banjo-Kazooie when I was nine years old, in the summer of 1998. I am 21 years old now and it is still one of my favorite games. New games just don't stand a chance to the old ones, in my view. BK has a little something for everyone. The graphics are so beautiful they will blow you away. The game play is challenging. I was disappointed to see that some reviewers said this game was just for children. In fact, I don't think a young child, say, under 8, could find everything in the game. It is fun enough for younger players, but challenging enough for adults. The story of the game involves a bear named Banjo, who finds out is sister Tooty was kidnapped by the evil witch Gruntilda. Banjo takes his bird friend Kazooie and they set off to go find Tooty. On the way they climb a mountain infested with termites (Mumbo's Mountain), explore a beautiful, briny beach (Treasure Trove Cove), swim through a dark, underground cave (Clanker's Cavern), wade through a treacherous swamp (Bubble Gloop Swamp), brave a freezing cold Arctic world (Freezeezy Peak), discover the ancient pyramids (Gobi's Valley), run away from ghosts in a comical haunted house (Mad Monster Mansion), visit a polluted, dingy shipyard (Rusty Bucket Bay), and see all four seasons in one gorgeous, but dangerous, forest (Click Clock Woods), and the adventures don't end there! There is also a quiz game show that you must solve to get Tooty, and then you must face the witch herself. This game has surprises around every corner and is never boring. The majority of new games do not compare to BK in the slightest. It has withstood the test of time to me. Banjo-Kazooie is still one of the best, and I hope it will be rediscovered by players young and old for many years to come.

Summary: love it
Comment: This is a classic game that never gets old. I love the length of it too, its not something you can finish in just a few days. The one that I bought on amazon is in great condition too. It's "like new," just as the seller said. :)

Summary: Blast From The Past
Comment: I'd played this game a little when it first came out, but I never got around to buying and beating it. Then a friend of mine recently gave me their old N64, and I got my chance. Playing this game took me back to a happy time in my life, when the world was simpler and video games weren't as dark and morbid. I highly recommend it to fans of the classics.
