Banjo-Tooie is a huge improvement over the first game in the series, Banjo-Kazooie. Lots of questions from B-K were answered. We finally saw that "Lava World" the camel mentioned in B-K. The Ice Key's use would be revealed.
One thing I loved about this game was all the transformations. Yes, they were there in B-K, but they were better in B-T. In every level, you could transform into something, whether it be an animal like a T-Rex, a machine like the Washing Machine, or a... thing like the Stony.
The inclusion of a first person shooter aspect was great. Beak Bayonet is my favorite move in the game.
The multiplier mode is ok, but it certainly isn't the best. However, it still is a great way to have fun with your friends.
Overall, Banjo-Tooie is a great game. However, the best thing is knowing that the third game isn't going to be called Banjo-Threeie.
