This is my favorite game of all time. I truly love this game. I got this game for my birthday. I fell in love with the world. All of it's bright colors. All it's quirky characters.
It was the first game that was mine. It was the first game I 100% completed. I have beat this game the most out of any game in my life. I have a lot of nostalgia for it.
Lets take off the nostalgia goggles for a second though. Here are some flaws.
Music note count resetting when you die or leave a world sucks. It was fixed in its sequel and the remaster released on xbox 360.
Controls can be bad. Trying to make certain jumps can be really hard due to a lack of depth. Flying controls are not great. Trying to aim a beak bomb is a bit infuriating.
Another flaw are the later levels. Even I kinda dread playing them. Especially Rusty Bucket Bay. It's a really unforgiving level.
Lastly, the final boss fight is horrendous. Still infuriating till this day. It's not a fun fight. Like every aspect of it relies on the worst controlling aspects of the game. It wants precise aim with eggs, flying, and beak bombs. Even with double max health, it is a challenge as the boss simply has too good of aim.
I recommend you play this though if you love collectathons, 3d platformers, or even light metroidvania aspects. I suggest playing the Rare Replay Version/Xbox Version as it fixes some of these flaws. Or emulate and save state often. It's not a hard game to complete or beat. Mostly a chill fun experience.
The remaster even adds the fabled Stop N Swap feature. Sadly it amounts to nothing in the end due to Banjo Nuts n Bolts being a mediocre game. One last thing the remaster offers is a bonus mini game in Banjo's house. If you like putting puzzles together, it's fun. Be warned it get stupidly hard though.
I'll leave you with this though. Banjo has a huge mod hack scene. I highly suggest if you like Banjo to find these hacks. Jiggies of Time(check out my review of it) is on par with the original and IMO better than Tooie. Banjo Kazooie is the game the keeps on giving.
