Good Points
A whole heap of whacked-out fun!
Bad Points
Dashing back and forth to find all the Jiggies.
General Comments
For an N64 game, the graphics on the Banjo Tooie game are actually pretty good. I mean it. I LOVE the way they've made the characters talk with little funny sounds - my favourites are the cavemen who go "ug-ug-ug". Music to my ears. A lot of genius in this game with the trials and challenges, but of course, it's so wonderfully random and lighthearted that it's an ideal game to play if you're feeling down. With the way that they've brought so many everyday objects to life and PERFECTLY matched their voices, it's a wonderful world/s to play in.
The plot line is very good. The Golden jigsaw pieces and ditty little bird-like creatures to collect is all part of the fun.
We all need a little nonsense in our video games once in a while!
