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.

This is the worst gaming strategy guide I have ever read! It has nothing to do with this game! Buy the game, but DON'T BUY THIS BOOK!!!!!!!

The book had absolutly nothing to do with the real game! Banjo is not a honey-bear, they dont try to save Banjo's girlfriend Picillo?! They try to save Banjo's little sister, Tootie. It had all the characters all wrong and was a real disapointment. 1 star indeed! Very poor

I dusted off this book now that there is an XBLA version of the game for the XBox 360 and I was reminded that this book is nearly worthless. For the record, my book has the correct story. It's still awful, though.

- No maps. Zero. None.

- Descriptions (locations, what to do) are vague.

- A lot of secret things (Bottles' puzzles, etc.) are missing.

- Brentilda's tips vary in each game so the list in the book is useless. They could have at least included a checklist or something.

If you need help with this game, check out GameFAQs or one of the other online resources. Purchasing this book is a complete waste of money.

Your totaly wroung, the person who said that this game was horrible 0n 7-14-98 is my friend (no realy) and he is absolutly right. Banjo is not trying to rescue his girlfriend from the giant,he is trying to rescue his sister tootie from the witch,gruntilda. I havnt read this guide yet but i have the offficial one from nintendo. there is only 9 worlds in the game so i dont know where these other 7 worlds are coming from. This is the worst thing i have evr herd of.DO NOT ORDER THIS I HAVE THE GAME AND I KNOW!!!!!!!

Although I haven't read it I can tell that this guide is totally wrong!First of all, the story in the publisher's note is the first story which Rareware decided NOT to use.2,there are 9 worlds(plus Gruntilda's lair).And if you think I'm guessing because I don't have the book, well I have the official players' guide and the game. I would have given this 0 stars if I could.

This guide gives you all the secrets in a easy to use format. The story at the beginning is different from that of the game, but I clearly remember Rare posting a similar story on its website. The story obviously changed at the last second. This isn't Brady's fault. Why do you read a strategy guide for a story anyway???? You read it for secrets and tips, and this unauthorized guide delives them all very nicely. I don't know why everyone is so worked up? They must not play games.

This was a great book it helped me with things I could not figure out with other stategy guides. I think it is very cool.

And if you want to know... the main thing you need to get in the next game Banjo-Tooie, (supposedly to be released in Feb. from many web pages I've heard) will involve some very weird big eggs (about the size of Bango!!!!) with Question marks on it.
