How Metascores Are Calculated

Get ready for a whole heap of hag in Banjo-Kazooie: Grunty's Revenge! Despite being thoroughly flattened by a boulder after her first tangle with the bear and bird, Gruntilda is already hard at work on Plan B: to go back in time and prevent the meddling pair from ever meeting... Set in the lost months between the events of "Banjo-Kazooie" and its sequel "Banjo-Tooie," Grunty's Revenge charts the original plan of the Isle of Hags' No. 1 witch to escape from her predicament with only the assistance of inventor underling Klungo. Ultimately left with no choice but to follow his arch-enemy back through the pages of time, Banjo finds himself caught up in new battles, new contests and encounters with faces both familiar (such as a young and unproven Mumbo Jumbo) and not so familiar (grizzly old mentor Bozzeye) as he seeks to stop the vengeful hag before she can throw an enormous spanner in the works of history.

Cheat Code Central
No multi-player, recycled levels and a relatively short game by any standards is reason enough not to own this game.

The isometric view means that you can frequently get stuck behind things or die because you misjudged distance and/or height. [Nov 2003, p.177]

While there are some interesting mini-games to break up the wandering, Grunty's Revenge is mainly an abject lesson in breadcrumb following game design. [Dec 2003, p.106]
