Build it at Mumbo's Motors
The game is loaded with vehicle options to help Banjo pilot over land, water, and air. Parts for vehicles are widely diverse, ranging from your standard engines and wheels to egg guns, floaters, and other gadgets. The Mumbo's Motors workshop makes it easy to create new vehicles. You'll collect different parts by solving puzzles and exploring worlds. Vehicle parts include a wide variety of body panels, engines, wheels, wings, propellers, fuel, and weapons, plus lots of bizarre items like Mumbo Bombos, floaters, and the versatile sticky ball that allows you to create almost anything from a simple object. Once you've finished your ride, customize your creation with a paint job and a suitable name before Banjo takes the wheel and pilots it into action.
Customize, Customize, Customize--or Just Get Down to Business
LOG's worlds are littered with hidden secrets, reward puzzles, and over 100 contraption parts that deliver an almost limitless combination of vehicle possibilities. As you work through the worlds, you'll discover more and more ways to customize and improve your contraptions, creating a surprising level of user-generated content. But even if you don't fancy yourself the greatest inventor or a highly creative craftsman, you can still have countless hours of fun with Banjo-Kazooie's pre-built vehicles. With these at your fingertips you're ready to jump in and get started, and there are plenty more contraptions available for purchase throughout the adventure using in-game currency and musical notes.
Characters, Old and New
Banjo and his best friend, Kazooie, are ready to battle for their homeland and prevent Grunty from developing it into tower blocks and malls. Other familiar faces return as well, such as Bottles, Captain Blubber, and the Jinjos, along with a vibrant cast and crew of new friends and foes. Keep your eyes peeled for Grunty's minions--look out for Trophy Thomas, Piddles, and Grunty's menacing Gruntbots: they'll do anything to prevent Banjo's success.
Nuts & Bolts offers an engaging storyline, entertaining characters, and fun gameplay options. This game offers complete single-player and multiplayer experiences--tackle LOG's worlds on your own, or play with your friends in competitive and cooperative challenges. Banjo-Kazooie: Nuts & Bolts for Xbox 360 is a enjoyable, challenging game that appeals to people of all ages and types.
Banjo-Kazooie: Nuts & Bolts delivers loads of customization options, interesting characters (old and new), and plenty of fun, challenging gameplay.
Response to Long drawn out reviews (2008-11-20)
As with any game there is a learning curve. Banjo-Kazooie is not a "teach me to read" game or a "lead me by the hand" game. You may need some patience and actually sit down with your kid and slowly show him/her what to do and how to do it. But overall the average 10+ year old could master the basics in a short time and go on from there, and play this AWESOME GAME full of action and adventure. I give it a 10+++ rating. Thanks to All the Guys and Girls at RARE involved in making this Excellent game. : ) !!!!!!!
Warning: Text is not readbale on normal tvs, and isn't going to be fixed! (2008-11-19)
I recently purchased this game, and I simply cannot read the text on a 32" SDTV. According to Rare themselves, they are not going to fix this issue. If you own an hdtv, great, but if you have a SDTV this game is not playable.
Not What You Might Think (2008-11-19)
The game is somewhat fun, but.... it's not what you might expect from a BK game. The game is basically one challenge after another to win Jiggys and trophies. Unfortunately, but you might like this, most of the challenges are timed races. I was looking forward to kicking back, exploring worlds and finding Jiggys, Notes and Jingos, not having to beat certain times to win Jiggys. The leisure is gone...
Even this might not be so bad, except building and choosing the correct vehicles is confusing and the interface is very confusing with different ways to select and build vehicles. The collection of Acts is disjointed and the constant back and forth is frustrating. Expect to see the puzzle loading screen A LOT as you move back and forth between interfaces.
And one last thing, which others have mentioned, is the text. This game has TONS of reading and the script is very small and sometimes, scrolls automatically and quickly before you can read what was displayed. I have a huge tv and it's very very difficult to read and quite maddening. This piece of the game is very poor.
I hate not giving this game 5 stars because I love the BK series and want to see more, but they missed the mark on this one. They should have stuck to the previous platform and just enhanced it with the vehicle aspect to make exploring the worlds more fun than just endless challenges and clunky confusing interfaces.
Great Game---Not a Game For Younger Non-Readers (2008-11-19)
***I know this game says 10+, however, I just wanted to post a warning to parents or anyone thinking of buying this game for younger gamers that are non-readers. There is NO speech the game is a reading based game and you must read throughout the entire game to find clues to your next adventure and gameplay tips etc.***
I have found this game to be very challenging and have put in around 10 hours of gameplay. The game does start out slow while trying to figure out how to play the game and build vehicles. However, once the mechanics of the game are mastered and other worlds unlocked the game really shines. The challenges are very exciting with flying, racing, searching etc. all under a time constraint. Spend some extra time with this game as its not a sit down and play, you will really need to read and learn the in/out of the game to get the full potential.
Great game. (2008-11-12)
It is really nice to be able to play a Banjo game again, and while this one is definately a departure from the other two games, it is still quite fun.
Although the text is a little small, I do not have problems reading it on my HDTV, so it is a non-issue for me.
