Colossal, immense, and gigantic; beautiful, gorgeous, and grandiose -- these are the words one thinks of when describing Rare's follow-up adventure to Banjo-Kazooie. Keeping consistent with the attitude found in this title, Rare has wittily named it Banjo-Tooie. Banjo-Tooie, simply put, is incredibly unimaginable. The worlds are ludicrous in size, the gameplay is polished and deep, and the soundtrack proves to be an immaculate compliment. When it comes to defining platform-based entertainment, Banjo-Tooie is filled with chapter after chapter of standards. Explore eight giant worlds, solve puzzles and help game characters to unearth jiggys, play as Mumbo, a T-Rex, Submarine, Money-Van, Washing Machine, and more, and learn more than 40 new moves on the way.

Banjo-Tooie is a sprawling platformer that picks up right where its predecessor left off. Rare's ambition is clear – bigger worlds, more complex puzzles, and an expanded arsenal of moves for our bear-and-bird duo. While this creates moments of brilliance, the sheer scale often leads to frustrating backtracking and occasional confusion. The game's undeniable charm and Grant Kirkhope's delightful soundtrack still shine through, making this a worthwhile experience for nostalgic N64 fans, but Banjo-Tooie falls short of the focused brilliance of Banjo-Kazooie.

Although I recognize that its predecessor is a more focused, and mechanically / stylistically tighter game, I have a great deal of love for this sequel. It tries a great deal of things, not all of which really work, but the ones that do make this a great game. In particular, the significant amount of backtracking compared to the first game is divisive, but to me makes the world feel more real and connected.

One of my all time favorite games. Tons of nostalgia here, but I love the connected worlds, puzzles, characters and music so much.

Worlds are way too big and there is way too much backtracking, original is way better, still a great game though. Some of the best soundtracks ever

No es para todos, pero me encanta la incorporación del backtracking

Personally prefer this than the first
