Servo won the two man vote because he voted first. Banjo-Kazooie it is.
What's most important in this kind of game is the storyline. This is why we play childish 3D platformers. What I've learned is that Banjo-Kazooie reinforces the notion that women are sex objects. Yes, that's right. The main adversary of the game is Gruntilda; a fat, hideous green witch. What's her evil scheme? To use her new invention to steal the beauty from a little girl bear. She abducts your sister, Tooty, and you have to go on an adventure to save her, blah blah. When you save and quit, you see a scene of Gruntilda transforming herself into a sexy, beautiful N64 woman (no, I'm not aroused, spyder), while your sister becomes this deformed obese freak creature. So that's the premise of the game. We're fighting over female attractiveness.
As for the less important aspect of gameplay: the game is evocative of Donkey Kong 64, albeit you don't switch characters. There was a point where I was transformed into an ant creature, which allowed me to access new areas. It's not as polished as DK, probably because it was released earlier, but overall, I'm really enjoying the nostalgia of N64 3D platforming. If you (servo) are looking for classic 3D platforming, it's easy to recommend. Banjo-Tooie may be the better option though.
