DESCRIPTION
Nasty witch Gruntilda has stumbled upon the perfect invention: a machine to transform ugliness into beauty. Since mirrors shatter whenever she draws near, Gruntilda was looking for a new makeover, especially after years of watching her sister get all the choice warlocks. Alas, before the transformation could begin, she first needed a volunteer: the hopelessly cute Tooty, beloved sister of a banjo-strumming bear.
Thus begins the story of a dim-witted honey bear named Banjo, a rambunctious breegull named Kazooie, and the rhyming witch Gruntilda. All characters play crucial roles as you explore the colorful worlds of Mumbo's Mountain, Treasure Trove Cove, Clanker's Cavern, Bubblegloop Swamp, Freezeezy Peak, Gobi's Valley, Mad Monster Mansion, Rusty Bucket Bay, and Click Clock Wood. Your goal is to defeat the wily witch and rescue Tooty from a makeover most extreme.
Before players can enter these lands, however, they must first find the requisite number of jigsaw pieces or musical notes, both of which are found scattered throughout the worlds. If this seems daunting, keep in mind Banjo is not alone in his journey. Since Kazooie rests inside Banjo's backpack, players can swap between the two at any time to make use of each character's special abilities.
As Banjo, you'll be able to climb, punch, jump, swim, and somersault to reach new areas or to defeat enemies. As Kazooie, you'll be able to fire eggs, perform beak barges, run up steep slopes, glide through the air, and perform beak stomps. Together, Banjo and Kazooie can fly, flip, and perform other aerial acrobatics. ~ Scott Alan Marriott, All Game Guide

“Banjo-Kazooie is one of my favorite platformer games out there. If you've ever played Super Mario 64 (the game where you go around collecting stars), this game is remarkably similar. The puzzles are fun to solve. Lots of content to keep you busy.”

“Fun and addictive.. for me, a bit nolstagic, as I got this game as a present many, many years ago. Awesome music, great sense of humour, memorable characters, and later on, very, very challenging. Highly recommended to all.”

“Finally on the 360. What a great game, and still looks really good in HD and super-fast-framerates. The same old fun is in there, and its quite a big game, even for 1200 points.”
