Released in 1998

Object of the Game:To collect Golden Bananas and collect more and more things until you give up.

Collect This....

Some people hate this game.Some people like it.I dont know anyone who loves it.But if you plan on finishing this game,put a lot of time away.This game will be your home for a very long time.

Donkey Kong is back.He is making the leap to 3D.So what does Rare do?They make another Banjo-Kazooie.Nothing wrong with that.But this game is a little to similar to be considered different.It plays the same,sounds the same,even the graphics are the same.Almost.DK64's graphics are not as good as BKs even with the expansion pack.Then what the hell is the expansion used for!?!To make this game as large as possible.Oh boy...

With 5 characters to control,things will get confusing.In every level you have to collect bannanas.Donkey Kong collects yellow bananas.Now while walking along,you see red bananas.But only Diddy Kong can collect the red ones.So you switch to him,and collect them.Now you see green ones.So you switch to the green banana colecting character.On the way to the switch barrel,you see purple bananas.This frustrates you until the game taunts you some more with blue bananas.And thats not the only thing you have to collect...

The game goes in this order.

1.Collect bananas

2.Collect golden bananas

3.Collect blueprint

4.Do the above with each character.

There are bosses too,but some of them,can give you a headache because the boss for the 3rd level seems to be harder than any other boss in the game.This is what we were waiting for?

Now back to the collecting.Visit Funky Kong,to get a weapon.Now collect ammo for your gun.More collecting.If you like big long platformers that go on for days then you will love this.Otherwise,settle for Banjo-Tooie which plays the same,and is a lot more fun.

And this...

Graphics:Even with the use of the expansion pack,the graphics are not as good as Banjos.The lighting effects are good though.But that seems to be the only thing.9/10

Sound:The sound is good.But not as good as a certain other game that looks and sounds the same.If an old man played this and Banjo-Tooie,I dont think he would know the diffrence.7/10

Control:Alright,the control is good.Even the classic Donkey Kong which is in the game.The original Donkey Kong seems to be more fun than the rest of the game though...10/10

How Fun Is It?:For the first day,you will be saying o yourself,how can people hate this?This is fun!The second day,I thought I did this before....The third day,Again!?!I have to collect these things again!?!And then you will forget it.6/10

The Fruit:Rare must have thought this game would have sold well because of the fruit.There is a lot of fruit here,and that is a good thing.Grapes,bananas,and lots more make for a fruity experience the whole family will never forget.9/10

Final Score:7/10

And when you think you are done, you are very very wrong

If I have told this before,then I have told this at least once.Rent before you buy...
