It could've been a blockbuster adventure game but this is okay too i guess... not a masterpiece but okay.
User Rating: 7.5 | Banjo-Kazooie: Nuts & Bolts X360
Okay, when I first saw this game I knew it wasn't going to be anything like the classic Banjo-Kazooie which was definately ahead of its time. I thought the whole vehicle making thing was cool at first, it's fun to make your own personalized vehicle and to find different creative ways to do missions. However, I noticed alot of half-baked ideas had made their way into this game and brung it down (ie. the klungo arcade thing, the level design, etc.) mostly alot of unnecessary content that slows the game down and run poorly, but I personally chose to look past this partly because of the nostalgia and being reminded of the classic banjo games. I just wish it had stuck to its adventure roots more because that's where games like this shine, it doesn't belong with the mainstream online multi-player crowd, that's just too risky because that's not what rare strives at. But still rare sold out to microsoft and they had to revamp the whole project. In a way it was a good thing because obviously the 360 and ps3 have the superior technological edge over nintendo's wii, but microsoft sucked out all the charm and humor that made the series in an effort to spice it up so it appealed to younger crowds and not the oldschool adventure game fans like myself...
So as you can probably tell I have mixed feelings about this game because it doesn't even compare to the classics but it's still a fun and decent game for newcomers and it holds together....... barely, lol ;)
