Tocuh controls are usually iffy at best. I haven't tried them in while. I might give them a whirl.

Banjo-Tooie Shows That Bigger Doesn't Always Mean Better

Love the Banjo series. Great article.

Banjo-Tooie was as big and expansive as it was due to internal competition at Rare. The Banjo-Tooie and Donkey Kong 64 teams wanted to see who could make the bigger, more content rich game.

Donkey Kong 64 was definitely a top tier N64 game. I think I played Banjo Tooie once and never again. But I also wasn't able to finish Banjo Kazooie until after it was re released on Xbox 360.

Sciurus_vulgaris1414d ago (Edited 1414d ago )

Oddly enough I played the kazooie, Tooie and DK 64 when visiting other people. I never played through and beat Banjo-kazooie and Banjo-Tooie until the release of Rare Replay! I prefer Kazooie over Tooie. I found Tooie to be occasionally frustrating.
