What a solid little game. Banjo-Kazooie is one of my favourite games, it might even be my favourite N64 game!
While I’ve played the original a whole bunch, I never had the chance to play the GBA game until now and let me say it was a very pleasant surprise.
It’s basically the 3D collect-o-thon platformer that I love shrunken down onto a handheld. Sure there’s a few issues like having trouble telling just how high something is when jumping to it and there’s a few Jiggies that are a pain but the problems are few and far between.
One thing I loved that the game did different from the others is its transformations. Basically in the old games each world had only one but here you can use any transformation in any world which made them feel way more important. I just wish they would have used them even more than they did.
In fact I just wish there was more game to play, with only 5 worlds along with the hub world there isn’t a whole lot of game. With that said what is there is great and if you’re a Banjo fan you should definitely play it. A GBA game I see myself coming back to.

A game that does a lot within the limitations of the GBA.
Crash Bandicoot The Huge Adventure does a great job taking what we know about the bandicoot and shrinking it down into a game that still feels like a Crash game!
All the stuff you’d expect is here just now it’s a 2D adventure! Levels are pretty quick and fun.
With that said for me this is one of those games that I finished but really have no drive to 100%, even though I know there’s a cool reward for doing so. This is mainly due to the time trials just being a little to aggravating for me. (Also I never got the yellow gem cause of how hard it is to get to).
If you enjoy Crash you’ll enjoy this game for me personally though I’ve always been more of a Spyro guy.

As someone who’s a huge fan of the movie this game is just alright.
It really skims the plot of the movie which is fine since it’s a GBA game but it was kinda funny to me how sections of this played out.
Aesthetically I like how the game looks and the isometric camera is something I’m weirdly nostalgic for. Levels have a variety of designs and you unlock new powers at a pretty good rate. There’s even some optional exploration but it’s really just to collect coins to earn extra lives so it’s not really worth it.
Gameplay is kinda hit or miss, there’s some pretty good puzzles and most platform sections aren’t too bad. However by the end of the game there’s some spots that are just super unfair. The Solar Surfer levels are a huge pain to play to the point that I imagine a bunch of kids who played this gave up when they got to these levels.
While I wouldn’t play it again it was neat to play a video game adaptation of one of my favourite movies!
