Banjoo-Kazooie, only reason i got it was because i knew Banjo from Diddy Kong Racing, but the game turned out to be better then expected, allot better!
Banjo-Kazooie is the collecting type of platformer, in other words you need to collect everything you find in order to advance. For most of the items you collect you get pieces of a puzzle, these pieces are needed to enter the next level. The levels are all very excelent and follow the standard themes, from a mountain filled with snow to a 'creepy' mansion. The thing that makes the game different from the rest is the jokes, most of them go from good to very funny.
Banjo-Kazooie is one of those must-have games for the N64, and shouldn't be missed by an fan of platformers, or people who at least like them a bit.
