What are you supposed to think about a game that stars a big, goofy honey bear named Banjo who wears tight yellow shorts and carries around a raucous, red-crested breegull in his bright blue backpack? Sounds like a puzzling combination, right? Amazingly, the creative and kooky folks at Rare made all the pieces fit in Banjo-Kazooie, the latest and greatest 3D adventure for the Nintendo64.

This new, free-roaming, true 3-D ction/adventure, from the world-famous designers at U.K. based Rare, teams Banjo, a fun-loving Honey Bear, with Kazooie, a fun-loving Red Crested Breegull on a mission to rescue Banjo's girlfriend.
