I wish I liked this game, but it's just the same as Banjo Kazooie, and at times worse.
Just get an emulator and play the classics, they're classics for a reason. Yooka doesn't do enough different to warrant existing.

Works like a TPS (RS controls camera). Incredible 4graphics.

<Local Campaign COOP up to 2 players> "Main Adventure"
Player 2 controls a Bee Team 'cursor' that can collect items and interact with certain hazards (traps). It's a limited role. Just switch roles once in a while so both players can play the primary role at times.

The Bee Team can grab quills, collect and store butterflies, stop traps, and more. Can also store spare butterflies and release them when your friend needs it.

Start the game using the P1 controller, then press enter on the keyboard, P2 will be able to play with the WASD keys or a 2nd controller. Had a difficult time keeping the Bee Team out.

Despite so clearly modeling itself on Banjo-Kazooie, Yooka-Laylee doesn't reach the same highs as Rare's previous landmark 3D platformer. The worlds are bright, colourful and interesting, but also sparse, dull and lifeless at times.

It's overall a good time and a nice modern entry into 3D platformers, but don't expect Yooka-Laylee to live up to expectations.

A solid game, but nothing revolutionary.
