What if a game improves and added to every element of its predecessor, but in all the wrong ways? Banjo Tooie basically took your character and moveset from game one and tripled them. They increased collectables and back tracking. It gave you mini games FPS sections and several unique transformations and traversal types. Is it awesome? Yes. Is it too much? Also yes. I had the Prima strategy guide and couldn’t keep track of what knick knacks to being back to previous levels or what new skills opened old areas.
