It amazes me how often I don't agree with reviewers. Banjo N&B is amazing

I love Gears2, still play my Halo 3, finishing up some old RPGs, about top borrow Fable 2, and yet the only game I have been playing this week is Banjo. How can such a game get so many bad reviews. I haven't even been playing the online yet. Some jiggy tasks aren't fun, but overall it has been an amazing game. When you really use your imagination you really see the possibilities.

Also the best thing about this game is that you don't have to have an imagination. You can check the leaderboards and take their blueprints and solve the tasks. Many people have made replicas of Star Trek ship and Star Wars ships. Some one even made the batmobile from the recent movies. Game is a steal at $40. It took away my Gears 2 time.

Its a pity it hasnt sold at all. I'll pick it up in 2009 sometime (when i can afford it lol)carlisledavid79

Its £40 here in the UK where I live though.

Yeah we get ripped off in the UK royally

I hate it, wish it was a traditional Banjo gameweb966

Yup, Nuts & Bolts is a pretty special game. Do I still want Banjo-Threeie? Damn right, and I want it to be a traditional platformer. But I enjoy Nuts & Bolts for the different route it took. It's new, refreshing, and still has that Banjo humor. BioShockOwnz

The vehicles and the lack of traditional platforming. Most of the missions are some sort of race, or moving something from point A to point B

They dont control well, you tip over way to easily. Yes, showdown town is cool but with barely any moves at your disposal the platforming isnt very fun or creative.

[QUOTE="web966"][QUOTE="too_much_eslim"] what is actually wrong with the vehicles. There are lots of platformer missions. Also in Shadow town that is basically the only thing you can do.too_much_eslim

The default vehicles have this problem

How long did it take you to enjoy it? Did you like it from the start??

 I finished the first world and then i put it away. Its incredibly funny and looks great but I just hate the gameplay. I hated the handling and the tasks just seem pointless, repetitive and boring and I miss speaking charecters cause that could have made it a bit better imo.

Does it pick up? Will i like it if i play more or is it a love it or hate it game from the start?

play as a mentally challenged bear and drive around.  yeah that sounds like a AAA game for sure

Really? no i don't think Banjo deserves any more than it got

I think the Gamespot review was spot on. I really am enjoying the game but somewhere inside me, I wish it was a traditional platformer...DonPerian

I agree with you on that, I wish it was true platformer as well. 360 needs more platformers. But, its still a lot of fun and close enough to a true platformer.

BK: nuts and bolts is a great game in its own right.....but don't even compare it to the first 2.Shinobishyguy

If folded under pressure and ordered the game online lol. Lets see what all the fuss is aboutcarlisledavid79

I agree, great game.  They made a game thats worth making and playing, it deserves to do well.  Up against Gears of War it doesn't have a good chance, rare should obviously be making bloody shooters not cartoony platform racer games, or put it on the Wii.

Only problem is, it feels too much like wasting time tinkering and playing around right now to play it that much. :(

If your the kind of person who likes spend time tricking out your rides then this game is going to be right up your alley...

I'm not that kind of person. I would rather spend that time actually playing the game. I also hate having to go back and spend more time tricking out my ride to pass a mission, only to fail a few times. 

If beating your head against a wall, and retrying missions over and over again sounds like something you would enjoy then by all means buy this game. 

I think my aunt is getting me this for Christmas. She hinted at it when we were talking yesterday.

It looks like a blast.

Well then, that explains your optimism for Nuts & Bolts.
