Banjo Kazooie Demo

[drohne]

i tried to play the demo and experienced the videogame equivalent of anaphylactic shock

the design, the music, what i can only assume is the humor, the fifteen layers of tedium it introduces before it even lets you play -- as a from software fanboy, i think i might enjoy a game about tinkering, but rare is just so fucking gross. and this game is just so fucking rare

Why did Rare feel the need to fuck up yet another franchise

It's funny to see how many negative opinions there are on this game, but it's likely the first Banjo/Kazooie game I'll buy. I had a blast "finishing" the demo yesterday, took me about 2 hours. The other ones seemed like shallow collection-fests, but this one has physics and creation/design, sharing of designs... it's pretty cool.

Got me the XBLA card for Banjo last night. Never played it before. Quite the collectathon. Pretty fun though for a free $15 game.

Prolly not gonna pick up N&B until next year.

It is really is fucking awful.

I'm buying it only for the creation stuff while hoping that down the road it has some cool objectives.  Plus it's cheap and I got the original Banjo free.

Yeah, the demo overwhelms you with the amount of options and what you need to do, the game worlds are visually and thematically extremely busy, making it even more confusing to try and figure out what is going on, the vehicle controls (at least the ones I got) were sluggish, and I already felt like there would be a ton of busywork/fetchquesting/collectathons in the game as per Rare's M.O.

I know I'm in the minority but I think BK was better than Super Mario 64.  Its a fun game.  1200 points is asking a lot though.

I don't think many people here would disagree with you.  It certainly ran with the idea of a collectathon, but it did it better than Mario 64.

XBLA Banjo is really good.  Rare should quit making new games and just start porting their old games to the 360 in this style.

All I have to say about Rare is that Jetpac was really fuckin hard and awesome.
