Banjo-Tooie Review

Rating: E

Story: 9/10
The hated Gruntilda the witch has killed our beloved mole?! Excellent. Bottles the "very annoying" mole has been killed by a giant blast of energy as it destroys Banjo's house. Since he told you how to do EVERYTHING in Banjo-Kazooie, you have to save him, with the help of some of your friends.

Gameplay: 8/10
This gameplay is great, but not much at all has changed since B-K. It's still the best selling item collect-a-thon that Banjo-Kazooie was. And no, it's not a rip-off of Super Mario 64.

Controls: 10/10
Always being awesome at what they do, Rareware has successfully made this game more awesome by making the controls so simple. A to jump, B to attack, etc. And to make it easier, Jamjars the Mole explains the controls all the way through the game.

Characters: 10/10
Evil witches, a bear, a bird, a couple moles, two shamen, and a man with a jigsaw puzzle peace for a head. All of these characters were great, but I only scratched the surface of all the hundreds of awesome characters in this game.

Worlds/Levels: 8/10
Witchy World, Grunty's Industries, Mayan Temple, all were great, but some were just way too huge for my likings. (Terrydactyl Land, anyone?) But it retained the great, happy style from B-K.

Bosses: 9/10
I'll just list 'em all and rate 'em like that.
Klungo: 8/10
Targetzan: 6/10
Old King Coal: 10/10
Mr. Patch: 9/10
Terry: 5/10
Weldar: 6/10
Hag 1: 10/10
Awesome, just awesome.

Overall: 9/10
Who can argue about this? This game was genius, original, funny, fun, and massively awesome. I recommend this game to anyone who wants a little more classic gaming.
