I appreciate that this one was supposed to be more challenging than BK, but I mostly found it frustrating. Let me clear out each level in a single go!
As the only one in the universe who doesn't mind backtracking I think this game is significantly better than the first. I love how big it all feels, how its all connected, its wonderful. One of my favorite games ever.
Worse than the first game in almost every way
While I really adore the enormity of this game, it's really one of the weaker sequels ever made. They regularly struggle to find fun outlets for the player, and technical showcases are basically just examples of overblown scope. They should have tightened up this whole game. Still love it and the trademark charm is totally present.
Very good game once again featuring our favourite bear but not quite the OG imo. Still, so many fond memories of this game and the charm of the series certainly isn't lost here
Some really cool levels, but also some really poor ones, suffers from being on the N64 due to awful frame rate issues. I think it's still worth going through if you really like the first.
When's Threeie?
Too much backtracking
TREMENDOOOO
A lot of the new moves feel like they're only there for situational usage and nothing else. There's so much more you could be doing with them instead of just relegating them to like 3 uses per playthrough.
Not as good as it’s predecessor, but it’s still a pretty good time; the multiplayer especially is hilariously fun with the right group.
Porqueria 2.5/10
Didn't get far enough to give this a fair rating, I'll go back and beat it soon
Nice
it gets very tedious
I LOVE THE SECOND GAME
not as good as one but bigger
It's good, but not great. Better than other bad collect-a-thons like DK 64.
too big
If you look at this game as a 3D platformer then it is a very flawed game. There is little actual platforming and instead a lot of backtracking. If you look a this as a 3D metroidvania then it is amazing and way ahead of its time. The worlds connect in very unique and creative ways and the new power ups have a lot of interesting uses. This game is less for Banjo Kazooie fans and more for Metroid Prime fans.
It's Banjo Kazooie, but bigger. And worse
Not as magical as Kazooie, but largely my same thoughts
Makes some missteps but builds on what made the first great.
Way more tedious than the first
A gorgeous sequel to the first. Sure, it's expansive, confusing, and imho not as good as the first, but it stands out. And oh hella was it fun.
Also, although it's possible to 100% it like I did, I high dissuade newer and less skilled platformer players from doing it (not to toot my own kazoo, i still suck lol). This game gets HARD.

backtracking sucks but honestly i don't mind it that much in this game. it's a very fun and relaxing game
jogo excelente, melhora tudo do primeiro e adiciona ainda mais coisa. mais que perfeito

Si juntas un oso hormiguero, un pájaro y una calavera no hay nada que pueda salir mal
a very unfortunate sequel that completely misses the high notes that the original hit by equating scale with quality. everything is bigger but certainly not better. a slog to play through and some puzzles are just stupid, made worse by the fact that so many maps are difficult to navigate due to them having the same textures spread across miles and miles of unidentifiable land that will make you end up lost and frustrated and unhappy that this game just isn't nearly as good as banjo kazooie 1 on the n64. what a damn shame.
