Game Review: Banjo Kazooie
System:
N64
Score:
9/10
Lets
look into the old school gaming for a bit, and see one of the
classics. The graphics may be cartoonish, and the rating may be
‘E’ for everyone, but don't judge this game on appearance alone.
Consider the makers of this to be a more modern Mel Brooks, it
will leave you staring in disbelief and chuckling.
The
plot is rather basic, but what comedy has a complicated plot in
the first place? Toilet humor .. at one point literal toilet
humor, runs rampant. Multiple worlds, each at a steadily
increasing range of difficulty, are scattered throughout. It is
artfully done, and any who haven't had the privilege of playing
this should consider themselves cheated out of an enjoying
ten-hour epic.
A
selfish witch as a villain, a bear and bird as the heroes, and
one character that even is a world of his own .. not to forget a
character named ‘Cheato’, who gives you codes to increase your
character's abilities. The fact that this game's third
installment is coming soon fills me with both hope and
trepidation. Will it be as good as the original? Will it match
the second, Banjo Tooie? Will it be its own creature, and
impossible to truly describe? Only the release can tell.
This
is a classic, and should be held in the same light as Super
Mario Bro., or Final Fantasy as a great game.
