Apr 1, 2018It's an incredibly amazing game with charming characters, amazing levels, and much to do! While, it's not the best game out there, it's probably in my opinion the best N64 game you can get! If you're the type of person who wishes Mario 64 was a bit more better, than this game is your type of game! Highly recommended.

Mar 22, 2018Honestly I never finished this **** game cause of how much **** there is to do in it. While similar because it's a platform, the game is entirely different than Super Mario 64.

May 3, 2018It is very simple, has a kid friendly story, and can be remembred even in 30XX.

Jun 1, 2018I did love everything about this game. I did compare it to Mario 64 a lot, which Mario 64 is still a better game in my opinion. In Banjo, I felt like I got lost a bit, but the game was still fun. It looked great and I still like it today. I played it a few years ago on Xbox when it was released, before the Rare Replay that came out. Still had fun with it.

Jul 29, 2019El juego esta muy bien! Es muy divertido! O lo seria, si no fuera por la p... cámara que tienen todos los juegos en 3d de N64, los controles y la curva de dificultad. Además, el juego no va anotándote los movimientos que vas consiguiendo a lo largo de la aventura, asi que tenes que acordártelos de memoria! Que vergüenza!!!
Seria muy bueno... si no fuera por esas mierdas. -
Aug 26, 2020One of the greatest games from my childhood that I personally think still holds up in 2020. Excellent controls, fun & creative levels and awesome music.

May 28, 2020This game is pure childlike wonder, between the characters, the music, and the amazing level design, this is one platform game you can’t miss.
-
Jun 26, 2021One of the best games the Nintendo 64 has to offer and one of the best games Rare ever put out.
-
Sep 19, 2019Pure perfection, you must play this game before you die. It is very g made.
-
Jun 19, 2023Using Banjo-Kazooie's wide array of mechanics to explore new worlds is fun, but collecting the notes every time you die is tiresome.
-
Mar 14, 2022Although wasn't as shocking and relevant as Mario 64, is better in all aspects. Graphics, music, gameplay, length. I think is the ultimate 3D platform game. Nothing has been made better after this in platformers, ever.
-
Dec 21, 2019Super amazing game l with such lovable characters! Can get slightly frustrating from time to time but it is so satisfying to overcome a difficult task to collect the next Jiggy. Guh-huh!

Mar 27, 2021If you want to play one of the best games the N64 has to offer, there's no lie that the charming and whimsical adventures of a bear and bird will make feel like a kid again. You'll meet some whacky characters and go face to face with unique boss fights.
That and so much more is why this game is one of my favourite 3D platformers of all time. -

May 1, 2020Along with mario 64 my favorite adventure / platforms. Unforgettable soundtrack, endless movements in the playable section and most importantly, fun to rage. 10/10.

Jun 15, 2020Banjo-Kazooie is phenomenal, an apex for the 3D platform genre. The graphics are impeccable, the soundtrack is absurd, with animal sounds in the songs, which brings incredible immersion, very good gameplay, and diverse levels, which does not make the game repetitive, but exciting to play. For these reasons, Banjo-Kazooie, for me, becomes one of the best games of all time.

Jul 13, 2020A true masterpiece it has some good humor good control and loveable charecters
-
Jul 19, 2020This game was so fun. The music, platforming, and story all give of the happy bubbly N64 platformer. Just a fun experience that is unforgettable.
-
Jul 19, 2020Really fun and they crack alot of jokes I mean alot. I have finished it a few times. It's always hinting to movies or something very fun.
-
Jun 14, 2022One of the best games ever made. Beatiful soundtrack, great level design, charming characters, its just a blast. This is a must play!

Aug 22, 2020Best game on Nintendo 64 with Super mario 64, i played it in rare replay and its AWESOME,the characters,the gameplay, everything, I love this game a lot, I played 20 hours and i loved every second of the game (except Rusty Bucket Bay and 90% of the last battle), one of the best games of all time.

Jan 9, 2021A fun game with cute characters (even the Kazooie being more helpful than Banjoo mostly times) and provides about 10 hours of gameplay. The only reason that I don't gave 10, it beacuse of the confusing camera from the game.
-
Dec 23, 2020A Nintendo staple in the gaming industry. this odd duo makes it work. i loved the different power ups you can unlock and the story was interesting enough. i was about 5 when this released but didnt actually play until i was about 7 but it still enjoyed the hell out of it.
-
Apr 28, 2021I grew up with this game and it will always have a special place in my heart. Although being a pc gamer, i'm a Nintendo fan too and my journey with Nintendo started with this delightful video game. Banjo-Kazooie is not perfect but it's too brilliant and charming to be missed by platformer and Nintendo fans.
-
Jan 3, 2021I just got this game, and I'm immediately hooked. Lots of moves to play with, lots of items to collect, sensational music, this game has it all.

-
Feb 16, 2023Amazing game that holds up to this day. Fun exploration and catchy music. Enjoyed it as a kid and I collected all the jiggys and notes recently.

-
Mar 30, 2022Sin dudas de los mejores plataformeros 3D que puede haber incluso hoy en día. Juego divertido, banda sonora excelente y niveles muy lindos. Una pena no haber podido disfrutar más como esto en el futuro.
Nota Final: 8.6 -
Nov 18, 2022Good game my first step into banjo was a good game but tiny things pissed me off with it and the save points suck there is none good game but certainly something beta was happening with this but still it's a good game
-
Jun 16, 2022Banjo Kazooie is such a masterpiece. Its music is beautifully crafted, the dialog is so charming, the level design is great, and it adds new moves even in the last level. The attention to detail is incredible. I could keep going about how incredible the game is. It's just such a masterpeice.

Nov 15, 2022Juegazo total, de la gran época de los plataformas de Nintendo 64. Super divertido y con muchísima originalidad.
-
Nov 15, 2022the best of the Nintendo 64 along with Banjo Tooie, and it's not even nostalgia, as I played this year for the first time. I marveled at the massive content, humor and gameplay. Congratulations banjo kazooie :)
-
Feb 6, 2023It's Banjo Kazooie, it's literally one of the best games ever made. I'm sorry but if you don't love this game there is genuinely something wrong with you, the characters, the game play, everything down to the funny noises everything in this goddamn game makes oozes with everything that makes games great. If you haven't played it do so now so that you don't regret it later.
-
Apr 13, 20233D platformer based upon the Mario 64 template with nice colourful graphics. One of the best examples of its type on the N64.
-
Jan 16, 2023Still at the top of the 3d platformer genre, full of charm, wonderful characters, well designed and fun levels to explore.
-
Jul 22, 2023The greatest 3D platformer ever made. The worlds, the whimsy, the characters, and the inventiveness are unmatched in the space.
-
May 9, 2023classic, absolute genius even better with stop and swop on the xbox.
Come on Rare bring on Banjo Threeie ! -

Unfortunately, the sound is pretty much a mix of "Mario 64" and "Diddy Kong Racing" leftovers. A grunt here, a guffaw there, it's all been done to death.
-
Banjo-Kazooie isn't going to win any awards for originality, but who really cares? If you have to borrow a little to make a fun, absorbing adventure, so be it.

Features the best graphics we've seen on the console, it one-ups Mario 64 in terms of gameplay, it sounds astounding and it may just be the most clever title we've ever played.
