That was in 2008, so I guess a bit lower nowadays.

But I fully agree, I didn't play it as a kid and thus have no nostalgic feelings for it. Having played it about 10 years after it released, the game is nothing special. Since then there have been dozens of better platformers on each console.

Banjo Kazooie Nuts and Bolts was heavily criticized for abandoning the platforming roots of the franchise and making a lego racing game instead.  An true Banjo Kazooie sequel would have gotten higher scores 10 years ago as long as it ran well and the camera worked.
