It is an improvement over the original game in many regards (cinematic, presentation), but it didn't delivered it as powerfully as the first one.

Is it a bad game? Ofc no, not in the slightest.
It can be tedious? Yes, mainly due to the backtracking, hard jiggies to find and not a real 1st-time friendly game.
Oh, not to mention: the framerate on N64 is dreadful.

Banjo and Kazooie new moves are really interesting. It's sad that we never got Threeie because I can't imagine how much other crazy stuff it could come up with if just Tooie provided enough (like a freaking Dragon Tooie).

I'm so indecised between a 3 and a 3.5/5. Considering that they'll barely do stuff like this nowadays, I would give a 3.5 alright. But man, it didn't do the trick as amazingly as other collectathon I played...
