I would have picked Wonderland or Atlantica over Deep Jungle. Deep Jungle at least has that blissful "totally irrelevant so I forgot it immediately" feel to it, but I still get angry thinking about how confusing Wonderland was or the horrendous controls and bosses in Atlantica. Although at least my grudges are optional, iirc, so I have only myself to blame for doing them.
For shame, Geoff, trying to paint Banjo-Kazooie in any sort of negative light (and what are you complaining about? You played the simple XBLA version even)
He is right though. Every time I reach Rusty Bucket Bay, a sense of dread kicks in because I just know I'm going to die while collecting the musical notes. And then I'll have to start all over.
