This is the perfect game in every way!
Banjo-Kazooie is without a doubt one of my favoroute game series of all time, and the first installment in the series is definatley on the best games ever list, with fantastic gameplay, stunning graphics better than some games even to this day, an involving story, tons of unlockables, sly humor and amazing platforming this is a game that even if you hate games you will enjoy!
You take on the role of Banjo- A young male bear who sets of on a quest to take down the wicked witch Gruntilda! You will search tons of worlds far and wide ranging from snow filled citys to lava endulged death pits! Searching for the Jiggys so you can get into her lair and take her down! On the way you will meet loads of faces, all with there own personality and role in the game, the one who will help you the most though is Mumbo- A skull man who is able to cast magic and help Banjo on his quest by openong secret doors and stopping trains to let Banjo proceed along with his trusty partner Kazooie- A bird who is a great asset Banjo, without him Banjo would be useless, Kazooie is able to help Banjo in many ways, including letting him fly, climb and occasionly turning into an egg firing machine gun! Also Kazooie sometimes goes of on his own with you in control and does tasks that Banjo himself cannot, such as waddling into small holes which Banjo is to big to fit in, and getting to high to reach places by flying there which he cannot do with Banjo as he is too heavy, together they are bound to take down the evil Gruntilda!- An evil witch who wants to control the world and commit evil deeds, how evil however? You'll just have to play the game and find out! She resides in her lair, with her trusty troll like companion.
Now that i have told you about the characters i am going to do the main review in seperated sections.
Gameplay: 10-Never has there been a game that has such perfect gameplay, and considering its age is a wonder to behold!
Graphics: 10- For a Nintendo 64 game the graphics are utterly stunning! And can even match some game graphics to this day!
Platforming: 10- This is the best platformer ever! No doubt about it! There is such a range of levels and platforming sections it never gets boring or repetitive either!
Story: 10- It may be old but the story never is! A classic story upheld by humerous clips and characters, we will take an evil witch taking over the world any day of the week!
Overall Banjo-Kazooie is one of the best games ever made, and always will be! This game should go down in history as the game that changed gaming as we know it!!!! 5 STARS! It would be more if it could fit!!!!!
