Banjo-Kazooie: Nuts & Bolts

Put it this way - Banjo-Kazooie:Nuts And Bolts does not feel like a real Banjo-Kazooie game. You've probably figured that out by now, though. The focus has been shifted from completing tasks around a magical world to vehicle challenges and mousetrap style problem solving. The world has been enlarged to fit the need for speed. That does not really sound like a Banjo game to me.

However, what it lacks in spirit to the franchise, it more than makes up for with it's ability to entertain you in every way. The graphics in the game are sublime. It really feels like you're actually there and not watching it on your TV. Nearly everything has sound to it. I highly recommend hooking the TV up to speakers and putting it at 3/4 max volume. Multiplayer really sounds good here. You can take whatever you design and put it on Xbox Live. Unfortunately, I have yet to try it, so don't ask me how it is.

There's a lot of fun in Nuts And Bolts. I highly recommend it even to the die=hard fans of the bear and bird, like myself. If you're new to the series, you'll instantly love this game. But if you really don't want the vehicle-type gameplay, there's always the 2 classics downloadable on Xbox Live.

Hello everybody just wondering why nobody is writing on this page but anyway this game is quite a fun one way better than the first and second b-k.A must for any banjo fan.The building feature may seem dumb but is really fun and simple.Do not let those dumb websites like wired.com tell you it is not.Well all I can say is good job rare and Microsoft but If you make another banjo game can you make It like the old ones so people can see you still got some game magic in you.Let say if you can make another banjo game could you make it like super Mario Galaxy.You know do something out of box or can I say something out of the x box

Shut up. Its cars. Who cares? While clunky in some areas, the game play is utterly fantastic, adding more and more on to keep you playing, and the game gets to a point where you have all this freedom to build whatever in all these great sandbox levels, the game is just a massive playground really, and the best part of the banjo games, the charm, is still there so calm down. Get it on rare replay please.

I have to say this is one of the most fun I've had playing video games. I mostly play the violent "if it moves shoot it!" kind of games so this is an odd one for me to play.

The game play can be very difficult if you're using the wrong vehicle because it will give barely any hints (sometimes none at all) on what the correct one it is to use. Not only that but if you do have a rough idea of what vehicle you want you may not have the correct parts or enough of them to do the challenge making you skip it and continuing playing through in hopes that you'll find it.

But that aside, the game play is very original (it can get a little repetitive). For all of you Banjo fans you may be a bit disappointed, because the game play is much different than the original, as I have seldom knowledge of it only playing it when I was six, I'll try to go with what I remember. Instead of all the jumping and fighting, that's been replaced with vehicles, now you can make anything you want to do any task you want. If the objective is to move object A to object B you could make at least 10 different vehicles and still do it with lightening speed.

The building is extremely fun and if you're not a fan of the Banjo games you should at least give it a try just for this aspect of the game. Through out the game you collect crates in the main town area, these crates contain parts that you use to make vehicles. You must collect all of these parts because it is the only way you will ever make it through the game. It is truly a way to let your creativity loose, you can make a rocket propelled motorcycle, An airplane that floats using balloons, or a Truck that uses springs to jump to high places. Of course these are just some examples and if I was truly trying to list all of the things you could make it would require at least a good 100 pages or so. Bottom line, defiantly worth my time and money.
