I recently played both games (10+ hours) and Banjo Kazooie has aged much better. The game is a lot more polished all around -- and I'm having a blast with it. I feel like I have to fight the camera or the level design too much while playing SM64, where everything just feels a lot more natural/fluid in Banjo Kazooie.
Rare did have the advantage of releasing BK later and taking the best parts of SM64 and integrating it into their game. Anyway, here's how I would rate them today: Banjo (9.0), SM64 (6.5)
