IGN: Banjo-Kazooie XBLA Review

Banjo-Kazooie is a great game for a kid to play around with, something that the 360 library is often lacking, but many people will find this style of gameplay outdated by modern standards. There's a reason developers stopped making platformers like this one: Most gamers have had their fill of simple fetch and hop games and like a bit more action and drama on their consoles. If that sounds like you, stick with some of the heavy hitters the 360 has at retail this holiday season. Otherwise, enjoy a well-made trip down memory lane.
