9.4 out of 10

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Colossal, immense, and gigantic; beautiful, gorgeous, and grandiose -- these are the words one thinks of when describing Rare's follow-up adventure to Banjo-Kazooie. Keeping consistent with the attitude found in this title, Rare has wittily named it Banjo-Tooie. Banjo-Tooie, simply put, is incredibly unimaginable. The worlds are ludicrous in size, the gameplay is polished and deep, and the soundtrack proves to be an immaculate compliment. When it comes to defining platform-based entertainment, Banjo-Tooie is filled with chapter after chapter of standards.

Internet Reviews:

Banjo-Tooie had me hooked from the start. Sure, one of the first things I said was, "Gah! Do I have to collect framerates in this?" But, assuredly, it became easier to overlook. Everything in the game is improved over Banjo-Kazooie (*cough* except the famerate *cough). The camera is dramatically smoother, and it's a great deal easier to control Banjo-Kazooie because of it. Aside from the technicalities, the gameplay just plain rocks. Even Nintendo itself has got to be taking a few notes because it's such a great platformer. I even woke up one night with the revelation, "Oh, I know what I have to do here!" It's one of those pieces of software that gets under your skin in an addictive way. You have to collect those jiggys, you have to find all the secrets. Rare has truly proved that not only can it mock and improve on past greatness, but it can bring something fresh to the industry. If you liked Banjo-Kazooie, buy this game. If you liked Super Mario 64, buy this game. The bosses are huge, the puzzles are many, and the rewards are great. As bad as the framerate can be (and believe me, I hate to keep mentioning it) the title offers more than enough to compensate for it. Even if you're extremely picky it will be hard to not enjoy this game. It will make you smile, feel brilliant, and laugh to the very end.
