Editorial Reviews

Amazon.com Review

BradyGames' guide to Banjo-Kazooie opens with a brief summary of the game's plot, followed by a quick backgrounder on developer Rare, chronicling its accomplishments to date. Moving on to the meat of the guide, you'll find a quick introduction to each of the game's important characters along with an explanation of Banjo-Kazooie's various special moves and attacks. Then, after a bit of information on the many objects you'll have to find during your adventure and the transformations the bear and bird must undergo, the book launches into a level-by-level breakdown of the entire game. You won't find any maps in this guide, but the excellent narratives will lead you to every jiggie, jinjo, and musical note in the game. Don't be fooled by the publisher's inaccurate (and somewhat baffling) description of the book, which appears on this page; the guide is well written, accurate, and helpful. --Michael Ryan

Picclo??? Who is that? Banjo's girlfreind? A giant? This book has completly gotten this game mixed up with some other game, (although whatever the game is, it sounds stupid...) but it doesn't have anything corect! I haven't ordered it or anything, but I was going to buy it ayt Wal-Mart, because I love the un-official because usually they have more codes and secrets... but as soon as this came out, I went to get it, but I always read the story and look through the book, everything is mixed up! Take it from me, I have the game, 1 day, I went to see if they would tell me how to get this one jiggy, I did everything they said, but this giude is completly screwy! Trust me, whenever I have even peeked in it for help, it didn't! I have the official one, and that makes so much more sense, I know it cost more, but at least you wouldn't spend your money on crap! And it is only $3 more, that is not much! Thanks for your time whoever reads this! P.S. I have all 100 jiggies and all 900 notes And Mumbo's pictures to the next game kick butt! So many new morphs... (remember how if you morph one creature enough Mumbo will finally say he will change into T-Rex then he said he was saving it for next game? He did not lie... but the cost of the Mumbo tokens... welll.. I don't want to blow your eyes out so I won't tell you...) so many new things to do in the worlds... It looks so AWESOME!! Remember, when Banjo-Tooie comes out, GET IT!! P.P.S. If you buy a strategy giude, you might want to buy the OFFICIAL...

Who the hell is Piccolo? And why is there a giant instead of Gruntilda? I have got 99 Jiggys and 886 notes and even though I don't need this book, I can tell it's poor.If you want a Banjo-Kazooie playguide, buy the Prima Official Banjo-Kazooie Playguide.
