While I enjoy Banjo overall, the game has major flaws, and is a good but not great game. There is certainly nothing platformer about it. It's a racing game, with some adventure aspects. It's more a sequel to Diddy Kong Racing than Banjo Kazooie.
And again, don't get me wrong, it's a fun game, but from a quality standpoint while LBP only has one real major flaw with the plane shifting being pretty loose, Banjo Kazooie has numerous gameplay issues which pop-up, so I do not think a comparison between these two games is favorable for Banjo or Rare, nor is it what Microsoft should want. Better to compare it to the old N64 Kart Racers, as it's more a spiritual sequel to those than it is an evolution to the platforming genre.
