Tour de 64: Banjo-Tooie

The much-improved sequel to Banjo-Kazooie remains one of the best adventure games around.

This game was a late addition to my collection, I ordered it from eBay a couple of years ago. When I played it, I wondered how I had let this true gem of a platformer elude me for so long. Despite the advancements of modern gaming, I was still impressed by the huge, expansion, and intricate worlds that Rare managed to create on Nintendo 64 hardware.

The bear and bird's original N64 adventure.

I never owned this one back during its time. Yeah, yeah, I'm sure some of you would consider that to be blasphemy, but what can I say? I actually never even heard of it, but this was before the widespread days of the Internet, and I never heard anyone talk about it. It wasn't until I started collecting that I bought this game. I completed it then, but I haven't really played it since that time.

Do you hate this game? Shame on you.

I, like many gamers today, grew up with many video game mascots across the NES, SNES, and Genesis; however, none ever had the lasting impression that Banjo-Kazooie seemed to have. A dopey bear and a saucy bird are paired up in a world where an evil rhyming witch is trying to improve her appearance by swiping the bear's sister and using her in an evil experiment.
