And even after spending nearly 20 hours amassing enough jiggies to take down the final boss, I'm compelled to get back in there and keep playing new missions, unlocking new vehicle parts, and exploring more of the game's beautiful world. I had no affection whatsoever for the Banjo-Kazooie franchise or characters going into Nuts & Bolts, but its list of great qualities quietly won me over to make it one of my favorite Xbox 360 games of the year.

+ It's a very original game. If you sick of playing very simlar games then this is for you.
+ It's fun trying to tinker with your vehicle for the challenges having to take into account physics.
+ This isn't a racing game like others may have told you. There are plenty of very unique challenges.
+ You make all kinds of different vehicles not simply cars.
+ The game is very dynamic in that there isn't always one way to do a challenge.
+ The humour and charm are still here.
+ Music and graphics are fantastic.
- Since your able to get out of your vehicle it would of been good to have some 3D platforming.

Once you’ve accepted the imaginative environment and characters for what they are, then you’ll be able to cruise easier, with the wind blowing in your fur, and a vast, exciting world to leave in the dust.
One of my most-enjoyed titles of this year.
The game's new vehicle-based emphasis will probably turn off some long-time fans, but I really enjoyed the game's premise. [Dec 2008, p.95]
Nuts & Bolts is a clever, colourful and witty game – one which deserves better than to be hidden behind stodgy tutorials, flabby interfaces and a host of loading screens. [Christmas 2008, p.84]
Banjo is what you get when you put a lavish coat of polish on nothing: A beautiful, funny game with a clever concept that is utterly lacking in fundamentals.

at first, i thought this game was meh. but i’m quite enjoying it now. it’s a bit annoying how you don’t get your moves that you could pull off in Tooie, but you get used to it. you get to pick your vehicle parts before missions, and Nuts n Bolts just feels like a massive toybox.

Its not banjo threeie. Once you get over that fact, you can begin to enjoy the game. It looks fantastic and the controls are decent. The very few instances platforming is needed, i lamented what might have been if they were used for a platformer. Its a decorated collection of vehicular challenges that can get repetitive. But it has a lot of content too. But my favourite part of this game, is the MASSIVE amount of easter eggs and secrets linked in with exploration makes me giddy. Its a celebration of not just banjo kazooie but rare as a whole. I recommend it to any banjo fan whole-heartedly.

Banjo kazooie nuts and bolts is not what we banjo fans wanted.
This game isn't about exploring which kills the purpose of banjo and the game feels like mission and mission level completed.
Banjo kazooie nuts and bolts is a boring and not fun banjo game but hey it's a good game right? right?
actually no
Doing only missons and getting to the next world is not fun atleast not in my opinion.

Summary Banjo-Kazooie: Nuts & Bolts embraces new and old fans alike, as the famous bear and bird duo return in high definition for a unique adventure of epic proportions. The Lord of the Games (aka LOG) is tired of the petty squabbling between Banjo and the evil witch Gruntilda (aka Grunty) over the years, and has arranged a showdown to decide t...
