THE GOOD:
Good graphics, awesome levels! Very intertaining for the younger kids. I played it once but the young one's seem to be interested in it more than the older kids.

THE BAD:
Some bad veiwing options and a couple of glitches but other than that it's pretty good.

SUMMARY:
I would say this is a great game for young kids to play. Its a little to easy for the older people ^^ Its more of a challenge between ages 5-10 yrs of age. Other than that its awesome!

THE GOOD:
Great graphics and sound. Hours of gameplay, brilliant srotyline. Everything about this game is perfect !

THE BAD:
Er..exuse me, Banjo-Kazooie, bad? get off !

SUMMARY:
I have devoted my life (figure of speech) to this game, and the follow ups, for that matter. I cant think of any game that could top it. And with each new release, it just gets better and better !
From the storyline, to the cast, to the gameplay, rare have excelled in every possible aspect of this truly magnificent game.
And if you like it too, there's more where it came from, with just as brilliant follow ups, the storyline grows, each game taking place before, after, or even in-between previous games, giving you little bit of time to wonder, "What came first?" with the third game in series (Banjo-Kazooie: Grunty's Revenge) taking place as an alternative sequel, there's surly no end to the possible storylines and situations to come.

A true video game!

THE GOOD:
Some of the good are its:
-Graphics
-Gameplay
-Storyline
-Levels
-Moves
-Controls

THE BAD:
Only the camera angles. Sometimes it's hard to see what I'm doing.

SUMMARY:
Banjo and Kazooie wake up to find out that Banjo's sister, Tootie is missing! Banjo goes outside, and his mole friend, Bottles, tells him that the witch, Grunty, has kidnapped Tootie! So Bottles teaches Banjo some basics, and soon Banjo is in Grunty's Lair! This is where you come in. You must collect 100 Jiggys and 900 musical notes to save Tootie and defeat Gruntilda.

This is a great game, that everybody should own. Everything is good, except the camera angles, but that is still OK. Seriously consider owning this one!

SUMMARY:
This game is super HARD you need great tallent to beat it.Also it is sssoooo much fun.The minigames,adventures,and moves are all so sincronized it makes you want to play for hours and hours.10 fingers and ten toes up to Banjo Kazooie a.k.a the best game ever!!!!!!!!! Rare outdid themselves this time.If a Banjo Threei ever gets out of X-box's slimy paws and into N64 I will get on my knees and say thanks! Whoever creates a Walkthrough or Guide about BK should be given a prize. Thumbs up!!!Well that about wraps this up if you ever have any free time, join me and create a Walkthrough on BK! They Deserve It!!!

THE GOOD:
Music, story, dialogues (Kazooie is so grunty!) and the moves, espescialy Wondering!

THE BAD:
Nothing is bad in this game!!

SUMMARY:
Rhat is the first time a game gets me out of breath from the beginning thru the end. It's fabulous, it's not that violent and it's a good way to introduce the childrens to platform games!

Written by Meribeth Cordero U.S.A
The first time I played this game I thought: Rare have really outdone themselves this time! Gruntilda the witch kidnaps Tooty the bear to steal her beauty and make herself beautiful. So Banjo (Tooty's brother) and Kazooie (Banjo's breegull friend) set out on their first adventure to find Tooty and rescue her. But they will need help from Bottles the mole (teaches you moves) and Mumbo Jumbo the shaman (transforms you into different creatures so you can do certain things) to do it. This game features 9 worlds and you must fulfill different tasks in each one to obtain Jigsaw Pieces, which is basically like the stars in Mario 64. You also have to collect Musical Notes to break musical spells and enter doors to progress through Grunty's lair and enter new worlds. It's overall Rare's best game yet (until the sequel comes along). You'll surely love it.

THE GOOD:
Brilliant storyline, funny in places with Kazooie and Bottles arguing, brillaint levels and puzzles.

THE BAD:
to put is shortly...Nowt

SUMMARY:
Banjo Kazooie is a brilliant game packed with fun and anjoyment. The best thing about this game is probably the puzzles and levels around the game. Also the enemies are very good. It can be a little bit tricky in places but all in all it is brilliant and I would recommend it to any Nintendoid out there. Brilliant!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

THE GOOD:
+ Humourous + Very original + Extremely long & full of side-quests

THE BAD:
- It ends. - Had to get at least 2,000 clones following afterwards.

SUMMARY:
There are many games that are like Banjo-Kazooie, but none of them are as good & as ground-breaking as BK. In a word, BK rocks. The story is about an evil witch Gruntilda who kidnaps lazy bear Banjo's sister. So him & his feathered friend Kazooie go around Gruntilda's massive lair, collecting golden jigsaw pieces (Jiggies) and musical notes to stop Gruntilda stealing the beauty of Banjo's little sister. The graphics may be a bit blocky what with such realistic games as Halo & Grand Theft Auto, but the charm still shines through. The little 'bluh-bluh' sounds whenever any one speaks is a good touch as well, and in it's own right, kinda 'kawaii'. Ratchet & Clank have absolutely nothing on this; Rare have done it again, brought out one of the best platform games EVAAAH.

THE GOOD:
Interesting story, amusing music, nice and entertaining characters...

THE BAD:
I can't remember of any bad thing in this game
=)

SUMMARY:
The game starts with the witch kidnapping Banjo's sister Tootie and then the adventure begins: Banjo (a male bear) and his partner Kazooie (female bird) go after Banjo's sister and the evil witch. A great help is the mole (found in mole-hills that are spread in the whole game) which teaches Banjo and also Kazooie new moves through the game. On their journey Mumbo (the great magician who helps them by bewitching them into interesting creatures) is also found in almost all rooms. You have to collect musical notes to open the note doors to continue the journey.
Very amusing is the Banjo-Kazooie quiz which you have to endure to come further.

THE GOOD:
A great game for a bad system.

THE BAD:
A little kiddie, but if that's the worst thing about the game, it almost has to be good.

SUMMARY:
Great gameplay, concept, and storyline. The controls are smooth for a game that could've easily had horrible controls. Banjo and Kazooie make a great team, combined with all the new abilities they learn on their adventure to rescue Tooty. You'll find yourself replaying this game more than you'd imagine, just by catching a glimpse of it won't do you justice. As a major bonus, the ice key and egg secrets are a few of the greatest and most talked about secrets in a video game I've ever come across. All in all, Banjo-Kazooie add up to be one of the best games for the Nintendo 64.
