Banjo Tooie is fantastic fun for everyone
I was a huge Banjo Kazooie fan - the dialogue was fun, the action was great, and the bizarre creatures you turned into and puzzles to solve were amazing. I wondered if the Tooie sequel could live up to the original - and it does!
The graphics are great. The characters each have their own personalities, and now each can become quite a range of other shapes and sizes in order to get through the game. It's not just a find-100-of-this game either - there are combinations of things to do, and puzzles to solve, creatures to rescue and mazes to explore
The mini-games are amazingly fun by themselves. My boyfriend got hooked on the kickball game and kept going back for more! There are more egg varieties, more jinjos of various colors, more of everything.
Each world is nicely put together with its own theme, with all sorts of really funny things going on in it. These developers didn't just work on honing the gameplay so it was perfect - they made every aspect, from the way the graphics were drawn to the way the characters talk to you - so funny that I was laughing half the time we played.
A great game for the N64, for all ages. Be sure to grab yourself a copy!
