WorthPlaying: Banjo-Kazooie XBLA Review

WorthPlaying writes: "No one was pleased when the Xbox Live Arcade resurrection of N64 classic Goldeneye ended up getting snuffed before it could be made available to tons of rabid Rare followers who were itching to revisit the developer's glory days. Fortunately, that opportunity has resurfaced in a different, but no less admirable form through Banjo-Kazooie, the open-world platform game that could be considered one of the best on the N64. There may be some technical hiccups to contend with in the XBLA version of Banjo-Kazooie, but the majority of its gameplay has been ported well and still holds up by today's standards. The only problem with this version is that it supplies a true test of fandom with an unusually high price point for an XBLA launch of a title that's over a decade old, just slightly restricting its range of appeal."
