Compare Banjo Tooie for Nintendo 64 to Penny Racers for Nintendo 64

Left for worm food under a huge boulder at the conclusion of Banjo-Kazooie, Gruntilda the witch is back and boy, is she mad. Forming a coven of co-conspirators with hideous sisters Mingella and Blobbelda, Grunty has hatched a madcap plan to regain her former beauty by using the Big O'Blaster (B.O.B.) to suck the life force from B-K's island. Naturally, Banjo, the ever-cheerful bear, and Kazooie, the wise-mouthed breegull who camps out in Banjo's blue backpack, will do everything in their power to stop Grunty's nefarious plot. Developer Rare (Donkey Kong 64) has greatly extended replayability by adding 14, count 'em, 14 multiplayer games. In keeping with Banjo-Tooie's tongue-in-cheek character, the multiplayer games include daft versions of soccer and bumper cars as well as first-person shooters in which you lock-and-load an egg-shooting Kazooie. Solo players can refight bosses and replay Banjo-Tooie's myriad minigames as often as they want. Less

This feature-rich title takes you and your custom car through sunny city scenes, snow-covered ice caves, and into the heart of an active volcano. To make matters more interesting, the cute but contentious competition is ever-ready to spoil your race with a roof-mounted missile. THQ has included an impressive Track Create mode that lets you design and race on your own tracks. At your disposal are 10 different flat sections, 12 curves and 20 sloped sections. Obstacles like trees, oil drums, and ramps can be littered about the landscape. Less
