Banjo-Kazooie and it's sequel, Banjo-Tooie, at THE greatest 3D platformers that ever lived! I don't care if you aren't a fan of collecting things. You won't ever change my opinion.

I saw my friend playing Banjo-Kazooie: Nuts n' Bolts on his Xbawx, but really, while it looked amusing, it could not possibly hold a candle to the N64 classics, and I wouldn't bother with the GBA game at all.

If you have an Xbox, save the 10 dollars ( or however much it costs ) to buy Banjo Kazooie, and Banjo Tooie when it hits Xbawx live. You won't regret it.


Please, refrain from posting any greif about "Why did rareware have to leave nintendo, damn you microsoft" ...yes we know. it's been said a million times and I agree. Let's make a actual comment.

While I am not a big fan of Banjo and Kazooie's new look in the new game, I do like some of the new details added to the characters, like the fuzziness and the stitches on Banjo, and the actual femininity of Kazooie. So I tried to blend old and new styles here.


Lastly I will recommend the classic games one more time, especially to those who loved Super Mario 64.

Banjo Kazooie is Super Mario 64 on Steroids. And Banjo Tooie is Banjo Kazooie on Steroids. Get the Picture?
