The classic 2D Donkey Kong Country and 3D Banjo-Kazooie games bring back many fond memories for gamers who enjoy platformers from the '90s era. What made these games special is their challenge and the thrill of collecting all of the items despite their treacherous locations.

Nice throwback to '90s classic platformers that require collecting lots of items

Despite the cute graphics this game can be deceptively hard and may turn away some gamers; confusing level design; annoying voice acting; mini-games are boring when playing solo

Rare was once my favorite developer. I was a Nintendo 64 kid, and their work was arguably as instrumental to the console's success as Nintendo's own releases were. While Rare put out a lot of classics during that period, the one we'll be discussing here is Banjo-Kazooie , a 3D platformer starring...

The initial rush of nostalgia

The boss battles; the mini-games; and the boss battle within a mini-game

Yooka-Laylee can only be called a spiritual successor to the likes of Banjo-Kazooie, considering Yooka-Laylee has key staff who worked on Banjo-Kazooie. A bright and colourful game, Yooka-Layee is intended to recapture the old-school style of 3D platforming, and whilst for the most part this is...

Remember the days of the N64 and PSOne, when 3D platformers were all the rage Playtonic Games remembers. We had the likes of Crash Bandicoot, Banjo-Kazooie, Spyro the Dragon and even lesser known tit

Colourful characters and visuals; Fun platforming; Some nice humour

No direction; Locks progress behind collectibles; Annoying speech sounds; some are unskippable; Quizzes...just...no

Yooka-Laylee is a 3-D platformer adventure with stunning worlds to explore, unique collectibles to uncover, fun moves to learn and hilarious characters to meet – or defeat.

I am grateful Family Friendly Gaming was offered a digital download code for Yooka-Laylee on the Xbox One. This video game is in the style of Banjo-Kazooie. We have a small bat that is on the back of a larger lizard. The level design, concepts, and even the sounds remind me of Banjo-Kazooie.

While the current team at Rare is not the same, much of the original team came together to make a spiritual successor to those games with Yooka-Laylee.

Yooka-Laylee is exactly what we and the Kickstarter fans wanted. A spiritual successor to Banjo-Kazooie/Tooie and that's what we got. It more than delivers on this promise and I honestly don't see what anyone else was expecting, so I don't get why other critics have been so harsh on it…It baffles...

Brand new. Arrived very quickly considering it came fro the UK to Arizona.
