I have it, it's fun, but i wouldnt give it more than an 8.5 personally. The vehicle creator is great, but the levels seem largely empty, and the platforming... well there isnt enough of it. As for the vehicles, and racing, its all fun but not too hard either.

Meh, I can see where they're coming from, and think that this will definitely be a game which some people will love, but a lot of people won't. I see myself in the category of people who will end up loving it. I love the idea, and don't really care what others say about this. I just hope that it lives up to my expectations.

I have to say I usually agree with GT reviews, so signs are pointing to Banjo being just an alright game.

It's funny how 90% of the people in this thread never even played the game, yet they are saying it's garbage. :?

Are you new to this place? It's always been this way....at least people will go into it with low expectations, might help them enjoy the game more than they would have.

1) Yes there is no platforming, it's a different type of game. For better or for worse, that's up to you.

2) The game is somewhat like SMG, you go on and try to get some more jiggies and maybe some T.T. Trophies just like how you try to get some more stars in SMG. So I would have to say that you do feel you accomplished something in an hours time, at least I have.

3) At first I felt the vehicle controls were a bit wonky but after awhile I got better so it's fine.

4) Lousy story? They are really going to bash a game like Banjo N&B for having a lousy story after being so passive about the story in SMG just because it's a Mario game. Very silly if you ask me.

I usually like Gametrailer's reviews but they dropped the ball with this one because the game is great. It feels really satisfying when you complete a task flawlessly and earn that T.T. Trophy. And all the unique worlds are very beautiful and well designed. I recommend anyone who was interested to get it. If you would rather hate, then fine, your loss. I also just recently bought Gears of War 2 and for the past couple of days I've chosen to play Banjo N&B over GeoW2, so that should tell you something.

What about the other negatives the reviwer noted? The pointless trundling to deliver your new jiggies, the limited mission variety, frequent loading times that staccato play time, impossible to judge mission building quotas and lack of weight in vehicles?

[QUOTE="Snowboarder99"][QUOTE="Gh0st_Of_0nyx"] My 360  maybe red ringed but I still played the demo on my bros 360 and wasnt impressed.

 

You lemmings cant take the fact that rare is a shell of it old self on the 360 .

Gh0st_Of_0nyx

I'm not saying that Rare is what it used to be.  Where did I say that???  I'm saying that Banjo N&B is a good game.  I find it funny you are calling me a fanboy because my opinion holds much more weight than yours because I have actually played the game.  You are bashing the game with stuff you hear about it on the internet.

Did you not read my post or you read half of it and just typed up a rant :?

I HAVE PLAYED THE GAME and I didnt like it at all Rares basicaly took everything that made the original amazing and threw it out the window. Just like they did with perfect dark 0.

You played the demo, LOL.  That's all I need to say because Zeldamaster just shut you up

How did zeldamaster shut me up when he agreed with me that the gameplay of this new title wasnt up to snuff :?

It seems you just cant take the fact that people are seeing this game for what it is, a Bad departure from its original greatness on the N64.

Delivering your jiggies is hardly an issue.  You can do it whenever and it doesn't take more than 2 minutes.  I don't know why they are saying the variety is limited because it isn't.  The loading times aren't worse than a lot of the other big hitters this gen.  I don't really understand the last thing your asking.

I don't care how it compares to the originals.  I've moved on from those games with the release of the PS2.  All I care about is if the game presented to me is enjoyable, not how it compares to its prequels.  Banjo N&B is enjoyable.

I guess Rare really did die when Nintendo sold them to Microsoft. :(

I predict a 7.0-7.5

That'll be in the hype range

Do Xbox360 fanboys even care about scores anymore?

I'm having quite an enjoyable experience with this game. All the platforming in Showdown Town (it's freakin' huge) is a complete blast. In the game worlds, some challenges are fun, and others are not. The driving can get a bit wonky, though. Thankfully, the positives outweigh the negatives for me. Also, the graphics and draw distance are exceptional, but the framerate can dip at times, but it's nothing too bad.
