The bear and bird are back in action! Banjo-Tooie starts where Banjo-Kazooie left off and is a wonderful sequel to a classic adventure game. One major improvement from B-K is the graphics, which are absolutely beautiful. The levels are very large, especially the overworld, which is absolutely huge. This results in a game full of exploration. The jigsaw pieces are not simple to get and some can be very difficult. The addition of bosses and new transformations make the game even better. However, one can beat the game without receiving all the puzzle pieces which makes it a little bit short. Also, there is a disappointing resolve to the Ice Key mystery. These faults are very small and barely subtract from the excellent gameplay. The funny characters, the awesome levels, and the neat minigames make me give this game a 9.4 out of 10.
