An evil, ugly witch by the name of Gruntilda seeks to be the prettiest creature in the land. One day, she learns that Tooty, Banjo's sister, is more beautiful than she, (which wouldn't take much) and decides that she must do something about it. So, as Banjo the honey bear sleeps in the comfort of his bead and Kazooie the red crested breegull squawks from his hanging backpack a few short feet away, Gruntilda flies down upon the grasslands and kidnaps Tooty, who happens to be playing in the front yard. Kazooie hears Tooty's cry for help, (if you can call it that) and proceeds to wake Banjo out of his sleep. Unfortunately, the bear/bird duo are too late, arriving just as Tooty and the evil witch ride away on her broomstick, destined for the lair of her wretched castle. Players begin the game just as Banjo and Kazooie set out to rescue Tooty from the claws of Gruntilda.
A very fun and addicting game
This along with Banjo-Tooie is probably my all time favorite game for the N64, it's incredibaly detailed, the gameplay is very impressive and it's unforgettible. I love this game and recomend it highly and the best part is it's not just for nostalgia that I love it, I re-bought it and found it as addictive as ever the graphics are incredible and the gameplay itself is impressive the characters are extremely lovable and cute but it can be challenging as well I give it 9.8 out of 10

You switch it on and think "oh no!"
this game plays just like Mario!
But keep on going and then soon
the depth of gameplay makes you swoon.
Characters goofy and writing clever
if only the boots would talk forever.
Dynamic music is too cool
the graphics knock you off your stool.
No blur, no fog, no crappy sound
a major flaw cannot be found.
With levels deep and textures rich
this bear makes Gex and Croc his bitch.
Seriously folks, Banjo-Kazooie is another reason to buy an N64. This is the best 3D platformer I have ever played, and a more than worthy successor to Super Mario 64. From the beginning to the surprise ending, everything about this game screams quality. The kicker is that this game will work in conjunction with its sequel, Banjo-Tooie. Get your copy now. Rare has done it again.

from Matt Casamassina
It's quite simple: Banjo-Kazooie features the best graphics we've seen on the console, it one-ups Mario 64 in terms of gameplay, it sounds astounding and it may just be the most clever title we've ever played. This is not only worthy of a perfect score, but it's possibly the best game for Nintendo 64 and the greatest platform game ever made. If you own a Nintendo 64 and don't buy this game right now then you are depriving yourself of the very best the console has to offer. At this point in time, we're not sure if Super Mario 64 2 can outdo Banjo-Kazooie. Well done, Rare

2011-10-17[wolvie]: I hope it shows >,< I don't know what else I can really add to make it look better I was going to put all the cheats just on the page then thought 'well some people don't really want to cheat' so I just added the link :D
2011-10-17[wolvie]: though it's pretty nice that finally a game is getting some reviews though oddly this is one I didn't really think people would want to review >.> it's still quite possibly my favorite game on the 64 well other then perfect dark it's surprising so many others liked it as much as I do I guess [I confess I even have a banjo-kazooie plushie] and my 3 year old niece is addicted to it everytime she comes over she goes to my room demanding to play "banjo the zooie" then proceeds to tell me she likes "the brown one" xD
Stumble!
