Summary
You don't have an N64?? Oh I'm so sorry....
The Good
If you don't have an N64 than you have missed out on possibly the best video game ever made. Enter Banjo-Kazooie...Tooty Banjo's sister is running through the field when Gruntilda the witch jealous of her good looks kidnapped her and devises a plan to transfer Tooty's beauty into her own body. Banjo the bear and Kazooie the bird (who stays in Banjo's backpack throughout the game) begin their quest into Gruntilda's lair.
The graphics in this game are fantastic. This is undoubtedly one of the most beautiful N64 games (just behind Banjo-Tooie and Conkers Bad Fur day). Everything is magnificently detailed and colourful. Mario's Controls were too cold, Goldeneye's controls were to hot, Banjo-Kazooie's controls are juuuuuust right. People say the controls are too complicated but trust me they are fine. The baddies and bosses are all hilarious (Gruntilda's side kick rings a bell) and almost everything in this game is "alive" in the sense that they have eyes and talk!
This game is very long lasting taking about 6 hours non-100% and about 9-12 hours 100% percent. I'm one of the people who have gone the 100% route MANY times and it is very satisfying. As a hard-core B-K fan I have taken the speed challenge (and passed) and I suggest anyone who is serious enough takes it too.

The variety of things to do in this game is awesome. You can fly, swim, climb, shoot, everything! But don't worry Bottles The Mole is always in his little hole to teach you everything along the way.
The Bad
Are you fu**ing kidding me? This is Banjo-Kazooie! Well ok let me think. This seems like a kids game but I guarantee its not. Although I fully beat it at 8 years old I suggest it for 10 and up.
The Bottom Line
The must have for N64 (along with Goldeneye, Banjo-Tooie, Mario 64 and Conker)
This is super cheap by now so I highly recommend you buy this. Hell this game is so good it would be worth picking up the whole console just for it.
