After the success of Banjo-Kazooie, a sequel was created. It was called Banjo-Tooie.
Despite the fact that it's quite difficult to beat the game, Banjo-Tooie has a lack of frustrations and is a lot of fun. The music, design and color of each level are unique to their themes, which makes it really fun to explore them to find the treasures: puzzle pieces. The game has oodles of mini-games scattered throughout the main quest portion. These games are used in the incredibly fun multi-player mode.
Unfortunately, as I got into the more difficult levels of the game, it became boring to hunt for puzzle pieces. I found that I started the game over repeatedly to enjoy the other levels again. I never did beat the whole game.
Overall, Banjo-Tooie is an awesome game. I particularly enjoyed the playful soundtrack and colorful environments. And the multi-player is one of the best I've ever played. It's a shame that the last 1/4 of the game isn't as good as the first 3/4 of it.
Rating: 9.0/10.0
Okay, back to the present! No, I won't call this an official review. Too many problems. Like the fact that I never finished the game. My policy is to review games only when I've seen the ending credits at the very least. The review is also very short and vague. Come on 15-year-old-me! Concrete details! Thank goodness Mary is a better writer at 15 than I was!
