Top 50 Games #46: Banjo-Tooie




WHAT'S IT ABOUT:
 It has been two years since the events of the first Banjo-Kazooie game. You have defeated the evil witch Gruntilda and her body lies buried near our heroes, the titular Banjo and Kazooie, house. But things will not be peaceful for Gruntilda's sisters have found her body and dug it up. Of course, since Gruntilda's a witch she uses WITCHCRAFT to still be sentient and blow up Banjo's house, killing their mentor from the first game -- Bottles, the mole. So the heroes go out for justice and find that Gruntilda is going to use technology to steal the life-force of the world so she can be like she was before the first game.

WHY I LIKE IT:
 This game is a very worthy sequel to Banjo-Kazooie. The gameplay is very fun and varied with many different things to do. The story is a bit darker, but it's a good darker and it’s edgier. The characters are still lovable and the dialogue is witty. Of course, there was Dynamic Difficulty but other than that there isn't too many other major flaws, and it's a great send-off to the 64 era.

MY FAVORITE MOMENT:
Fighting Mr. Patch.
