22. Banjo-Tooie (N64)
If you've been reading up on my choices, you'll know that you wont find GoldenEye 007 or Perfect Dark or Turok on my list (and if you didn't know, surprise!). It's kind of crazy to be sure, but my 4 player split-screen FPS of choice with friends was actually Banjo-Tooie! Like I said, completely bonkers, yet we had so much fun in Targetzan's Temple, blasting each other with Fire, Ice, Regular, Grenade, and Clockwork eggs (everyone chose Jinjos as their character, pretty much the OddJob of Banjo-Tooie). So many great memoires, and I haven't even gotten to the single player yet! The game was huge... humongous compared to Banjo-Kazooie. I definitely saw this "bigger is better" world as a double-edged sword. There were worlds in which there was simply too much, and where I would feel lost going after some of the more difficult jiggies (looking at you Grunty Industries). And the amount of collectables walked the line between just right and too much (Rare would later go over the edge in the disappointing collect-a-thon known as Donkey Kong 64). Still, these worlds were some of the greatest I've ever seen, and there's always so much to do (even if you do feel lost)! So while the destination was hit and miss, the journey was always magical. And for that (as well as the aformentioned fantastic multiplayer modes), Banjo-Tooie hits the number 22 spot. Also, the flying battle against Patches is among one of my favorite boss battles ever!
