Donkey Kong 64

Description

Donkey Kong 64 is, put simply, Banjo Kazooie with Donkey Kong, and his friends from the Donkey Kong Country games. However it isn't just a straight clone of Banjo Kazooie. There are many features that separate them, and show that Rare put a lot of effort into it. Features like being able to change characters, different weapons for each character, each character with their own strengths and weaknesses, etc.

The idea is similar to about every other platformer, with some "light" puzzles in to mix up the gameplay. Run around the various levels, jumping, swimming, and climbing where needed, to get your golden bananas back with K. Rool has stolen. And, of course, Rare show off their 3D engine, making the game somewhat more difficult than the old 2D "run from left to right" games.
