So apparently my childhood was deprived of joy, because I finally played this for the first time and I have no idea how I managed to experience games like Super Mario 64, Donkey Kong 64, Jet Force Gemini, Conker's, or Rayman without playing Banjo Kazooie. I remember picking it once or twice -- maybe in the waiting room at a doctor's office or a demo somewhere -- but I never got into it.

I'm not going to do a review because apparently everybody else has played and loved it, but so far my favorite aspect is the music and sound effects, and my least favorite is the shitty camera control that seemed to exist in most similar games at the time. I'm in Click Clock Wood, which is probably one of the most impressive levels I've ever played in a game. I'm at 100% completion for each level so far without using guides, but I'm not sure about being able to find all the notes in this one.

Anyways, post stuff about this game and how stupid I am for not trying it before.

OT: Are you trying to 100% the game OP?

Yep. It's one of the only games that seems really fun to finish 100%.

tooie is better
