Welcome to the official discussion thread for Banjo Kazooie on the N64!
To start, please add this game to your log, add it to your collection (if applicable), and (when you are ready) rate it using the link above!
So I had some Microsoft Points to burn, and instead of downloading some highly-acclaimed, new LIVE ARCADE game, I opted for an old N64 favorite from back in the day. Why? I dunno. I guess I was feelin' the nostalgia bug this weekend or something. Whatever.
I was honestly kind of expecting to have buyer's remorse... I mean, the game was great, but was it the kind of game that really stands the test of time? Well, after having put in several hours last night (and unlocking a handful of achievements) I can safely say that, YES, the game is still good. Great, even.
Now I think I want to try out the sequel, Banjo-Tooie, a game I regret to admit that I've never played. I can't remember exactly why I didn't play it, considering I like the original so much. I think at the time, I was a poor college student, so I had to really cut back on my expenses. (I remember wanting buy, but not being able to afford, games like Excitebike 64, Ogre Battle 64, Perfect Dark, Conker's Bad Fur Day and others as well)
So, for those that HAVE played the sequel, is it as good? Worth downloading? It's only like, $10, I think... so either way I guess it's worth checking out, at least. Right? Or should I not even bother, and just stick with the original game and pick up something else on LIVE?
B... Banjo-Kazooie fans.... unite?

Well....I haven't played any of those in quite a while, 7-8 years about. From what I remember and how much I enjoyed them I would rank Super Mario 64 and Banjo-Kazooie as equals. You could make a real good case for either game being the best. After that, I would go with Donkey Kong 64 and then Banjo-Tooie last. HOWEVER, a big reason why I would rank Tooie last is its technical shortcomings that were fixed in the XBLA version of the game. That being the case, I might rank Tooie before DK64, but I can't say for sure since I never beat it. DK64 is a collect-a-thon, but I still enjoyed it. It's actually a well put together game if you don't mind collecting tons of bananas. i've never played either Banjo title, but i actually really enjoyed DK64 despite the monotony of banana-get at times. graphics were great, different characters were fun to play as, the music was awesome, and the game was rather challenging... i may have to give Kazooie a try. is it as open/free as Mario 64 was? |

@anandxxxRanked platformers from last gen that I played: (and to keep it easy, I'm limiting it to consoles... no GBA stuff this time) - Donkey Kong Jungle Beat - Jak & Daxter: The Precursor Legacy - Klonoa 2: Lunatea's Veil - Super Mario Sunshine - Billy Hatcher and the Giant Egg Never got around to Rayman 3, and I'm not sure if Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time counts as a platformer or not. I mean, the Prince *does* do platforming, but... I dunno. *shrugs* |

@anandxxxOkaaaay... *cracks fingers* *gets arthritis later in life*I didn't think to include 2D platformers, but I guess I didn't specify, so I will, too. I'm not going to include games like King of Swing, though. Nor will I include action stuff with platforming like Ninja 5-0. Nor Maximo (but if I did, it would be pretty damned high, believe you me). 1) Donkey Kong Jungle Beat 2) Super Mario Sunshine 3) Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time 4) Ratchet & Clank 2 5) Ratchet & Clank 3 6) Prince of Persia: The Two Thrones 7) Ratchet & Clank 8) Klonoa 2 9) Sly Cooper 1 10) Jak & Daxter Third to last) Jak III Second to last) Sly Cooper 2 Dead Fucking Last) Jak II To tell the truth, I'm not even sure about including Ratchet games and later Jak games, but they're always classified as platformers, so whatever. PoP is a different breed of platformer, too (but I love that game (for the story more than the platforming)). I always cried "Objection!" last gen when people asserted that the PS2 had three series of platformers that were better than Sunshine. My ass. That game had some rough edges, but it controlled like an absolute dream. Mario was so quick and sprightly. Plus, the game actually had platforming! |
