Nuts & Bolts promised hours of fun but delivered up short

Its been a while since we last saw the bear and bird, and the new game has been met with good expectations. For mer personally however, the game failed quite a bit. Let me just say the game is a good game in many ways. The graphics while cartoony are what you would expect, and are very well detailed. The levels themselves are greatly designed, with the stages truly looking like they had been built. The concept of building vehicles is fantastic, and is generally executed in a very good way. Where it falls for me is that it seems a little too childish. This would obviously be because they are aiming for a younger audience, but you would expect them to try and appeal to the old banjo-kazooie fans as well. The missions also suffer. Ceratin missions allow you to use your own choice of vehicle while others require you to use a pre-made vehicle. However some missions regardless the vehicle, are just annoyingly difficult. For a kids game you would expect the missions to be slightly easier to perform. The vehicle controls generally suffer, with turning becoming probably the worst problem. Overall the idea of the story was a good, but it just doesn't seem to be played out very well. Nuts & Bolts was a game that started out with great ideas, but was implemented rather poorly.
