Banjo-Kazooie

STORY / GAMEPLAY
A bear called Banjo and a bird called Kazooie live their lives in a fictional location called Spiral Mountain. A witch called Gruntilda kidnaps Banjo's sister, Tooty aiming to take away her beauty via a magical transformation device. Banjo and Kazooie set out on a dangerous task to rescue poor Tooty. The game looks like Super Mario 64 (remember the fat Italian plumber?) and is a platform masterpiece. The game features Impressively wide worlds, lush backdrops, funny characters, satisfying puzzles, top control scheme, ingeniously clever level design and fun boss fights. It actually includes all those elements a serious platform game should always have.

GRAPHICS / SOUND
The game features particularly wide and colorful 3D worlds with fantastic textures (as Rare Software was a specialist to this). The action is fast and the animation is as smooth as water, without any issue while the game's sound features impressive music tunes, funny character shouts and awesome sound effects. Overall, Banjo Kazooie is a true masterpiece on the Nintendo 64 games library!
