Banjo-Tooie

I feel like Tooie isnt as revered as Kazooie and to be honest I dont really get why. While I wouldn't say it was a good as Kazooie I do think it definitely expanded upon Kazooie's smaller scope. I think the biggest upgrade was in the world building, not only does the hub world feel alive due to more cutscene and plot, but I loved that all the worlds were interconnected and it actually made me feel like I was playing in a real world.

Sure I think some of the gameplay became unnecessarily tedious especially in later levels. With level exploration limited by split up pads and specific transformations. It felt very frustrating to be exploring a level then hit a brick wall, because you didnt choose to split up first, or because Mumbo didnt use a spell yet.

Regardless I do think Rare was onto something amazing, if Banjo-Threeie had actually come out, I think they could have taken the best part of both games ironed out the flaws and could've made the definitive 3D platformer, it's a shame we'll like never see it as a Banjo game. But who knows maybe Playtonic will pull off a great sequel to Yooka-Laylee
