Banjo Threeie!!!

[Vipershark]

Approaching BK and expecting an experience like SM64 is the wrong way to approach the game... It seems like most of the complaints here are about Mario's athleticism, which Banjo lack, but that doesn't make the BK games a watered-down Mario... The characters have different skills (Mario has always been athletic) and the games are tailored to that... Mario is about jumping and climbing and actually precise platforming while Banjo-Kazooie is about exploration.

I never said anything about athleticism (or lack therof). Banjo obviously has his own share of athletic moves he can pull off as well but that has nothing to do with the actual *feel* of the game being off.
