    Cooler than it looks!

    Banjo-Tooie is a sequel to the best-selling Rareware adventure game Banjo-Kazooie. Banjo-Tooie takes place two years after the main characters Banjo (a lazy bear) and Kazooie (an egotistical bitch of a red-crested breegull who is foul-mouthed, rude and proud of it!) defeat an evil fat witch named Gruntilda. Trapped under a boulder for all those years, her two evil sisters Mingella and Blobbelda come and rescue the already-skeletal Grunty. She and her sisters then fire a huge laser from their colossal digger and Banjo and Kazooie's house and in the process, one of their friends, Bottles the Mole, dies. Once again, Banjo & Kazooie go on an awesome epic quest to follow and kill Grunty and revive Bottles.

    In Banjo Tooie, there is a lot more crude themes, humour and very subtle sexual references than its predecessor. this is the reason why although Banjo-Kazooie games look kiddish, they attract full-grown non-retarded adults as gamers. It is definitely an improvement to the first game, being longer (for the average person it takes 50 hours to get every single item), more sweet-looking worlds (like an underwater lagoon, a world in the clouds, a prehistoric world, and a two peaks with completely opposite climate), and generally a better audience.

    I really like Banjo-Tooie for the N64. It easily makes my top ten any day.

    The Greatest Video Game Sequel

    Banjo-Tooie is not only a big step up to its predecessor, but possibly the greatest video game sequel ever created. It gives an even bigger world building for the franchise and has exceeded every last second of what many love about the first game. The story takes Banjo's story to a new level, the graphics hold up so many years later, the characters are all charming old and new, the mini games are a lot of fun to play, the bosses are at their most intense, and the gameplay is even bigger and even more fun than what I would expect. If you really love the first game, this is the one I think you will love as much. This game is a must play. I don't care if you already played it. It's worth replaying the game as much you like. I really wish there would be the actual Banjo-Threeie instead of that racing game because that's exactly how much I love the franchise. And this one is absolutely no exception. Maybe one day we will get another one exactly like this. Because this is not just the biggest highlight of N64, but it's also one of the greatest 3D platformers.

    Perfect Game!!!

    Bigger, Better, and more Difficult.

    Its a bit dragged out for my taste, but this is a banjo romp worth investing in. Its brilliant.

    Best Banjo Game

    This game is really, really, really, really, really, really, good! It's so fun! It's got better graphics than Banjo Kazooie, and a better storyline. Grunty the witch comes back to life and tries to get revenge! It sounds boring, but I just don't want to spoil some of the cool stuff. This game is really funny, too. Banjo Kazooie will always be a great game, but it's awesome sequel is better. Very fun game. I love it. If you've never played it, buy it, because it's better than Banjo Kazooie! You can even play as Mumbo in this, and he goes faster than Banjo. He has a really cool staff, too. 8/10! A must buy game for fans of Banjo Kazooie.
