Product Features
- An adventure that starts with your imagination. If you can imagine it, you can build it in the Mumbo's Motors easy-to-use workshop. Then put your creation to the test as you take on Grunty in your quest for Spiral Mountain. Unlike other games, where the player progressively picks up new skills or abilities at points predetermined by the game's creator, "Banjo-Kazooie: Nuts & Bolts" puts the power of improving Banjo's abilities into the hands of the players as they build vehicles that allow Banjo to progress through the game. Vehicle parts include a wide variety of body panels, engines, wheels, wings, propellers, fuel and weapons, plus many more weird and wonderful gadgets such as floaters, Mumbo Bombos and the versatile sticky ball. Players can design and create anything from a simple object-carrying truck to a space-age flying saucer. Once players have designed their creation, they give it the finishing touch by painting it and choosing a suitable name before Banjo jumps in and pilots it into ction
- Customizable experience. With more than 100 contraption parts and unlimited possible combinations, no two players will have the same experience in "Banjo-Kazooie: Nuts & Bolts." By exploring the vast game worlds, discovering hidden secrets and solving puzzles to win rewards, players continually find more and more ways to customize and improve their contraptions, creating an unprecedented level of user-generated content for a 3-D platform adventure game
- Fun right out of the box. Don't worry if you aren't the world's greatest inventor or want to skip the workshop and get straight to the action, because "Banjo-Kazooie: Nuts & Bolts" comes with a fully loaded experience right out of the box. Pre-built vehicles are included so players can jump right in and get started, with many more contraptions available for purchase throughout the adventure using the in-game currency system of musical notes
- Xbox LIVE gets in on the fun. For the first time in franchise history, "Banjo-Kazooie: Nuts & Bolts" is going to include competitive and cooperative multiplayer gameplay. Now players can face off head-to-head in multiple multiplayer modes or team up and play cooperatively via Xbox LIVE. And with the title's online blueprint sharing system, players can share their designs over Xbox LIVE with friends and gamers everywhere. Rare has an extremely dedicated and active fan base, and we expect this addition combined with the unlimited user-generated content of "Banjo-Kazooie: Nuts & Bolts" to help further grow and inspire that community, and push their creative limits!
- Engaging storyline and entertaining characters. Two of Rare's most beloved characters have returned from retirement, making their debut on Xbox 360. To win the deed to their homeland and prevent the evil witch Gruntilda from developing it into tower blocks and malls, Banjo and his best friend Kazooie battle over land, sea and air against their longtime rival. Familiar faces such as Mumbo Jumbo, Bottles, Captain Blubber and the Jinjos are also back to lend a hand, along with an equally colorful cast of new friends and foes. Players can look out for Trophy Thomas, Piddles, Lord of the Games and Grunty's mechanically menacing army of Gruntbots
- Innovation connecting the franchise's past and present. With the power of Xbox 360, this newly activated feature, known as Stop "?N' Swop, connects "Banjo-Kazooie: Nuts & Bolts" to the upcoming Xbox LIVE Arcade release of the original "Banjo-Kazooie." Players' accomplishments in the new game will be rewarded with extra content and features in the Xbox LIVE Arcade game, encouraging fans to dive into as much "Banjo" as they can get their hands on!
- Enjoy alone or with friends. "Banjo-Kazooie: Nuts & Bolts" offers complete single-player and multiplayer experiences. Gamers can play through the adventure alone in the single-player campaign, or with friends in competitive or cooperative challenges alone or in teams on Xbox LIVE
- Fun for everyone. Xbox 360 is the home to the best entertainment experiences for everyone. With "Banjo-Kazooie: Nuts & Bolts," Xbox 360 continues to build its impressive lineup of content that appeals to people of all ages and types

Fun:
For someone who was well known to the franchise, I was a bit sceptical and disappointed that Rare decided to take the familiar style to a new place.
I popped in the disc and I was greeted with a nice beginning all full of knowing satirical sideswipes at different genres but feeling a little gutted that it wasnt like the old games.
After playing for half an hour, I turned it off and decided to try the old game. I thought to myself "this game is far better". I had spent more time on it than the new one.
After a few days, I decided to give Nuts and Bolts another try and I finally "Got it". It takes a while of getting into, a bit like a good book or a film. Once you get what is expected of you, you are hooked. The building tools daunted me as I feel I am more creative with words than construction but you really dont need to be.
It is probably best not to rent this game but to buy it as it will take considerable time to beat it. But highly recommended and keep at it.

Fun:
This game Banjo-Kazooie: Nuts & Bolts (Xbox 360)has been made in glorious bright colours and wonderful humour. It has all the elements of the original two games only with the added twist of havi9ng to create your own vehicles whichj are needed not just to access new areas in the main central hub but also for getting exceeedingly fast times in the various challenges in the various areas entered by going through the various doors.
In the main hub area the collecting is done in the traditional way, on foot (shouldn't the expression be 'on feet' as two are generally used not just one....) but in the various areas entered by going through the doors a vehicle of some sort is used. Once you have entered a land by going through a door and find a challenge to attempt you will see that you are not stuck with the vehicle you entered the land with as the character setting the task will always give the option for you to change vehicles. This means that you can (if you want to) change to one that you think is better suited to the task you are about to attempt but only, obviously, if you have found enough parts in the main hub area to build various vehicles!
When it comes to building the vehicle there are blueprints that can be bought but you are not limited to them. Nope, the only thing limiting you is your imigination. Oh, and physics but then that shouldn't really be a problem as I'm sure that you, like me, are bright enough to deal with the problem of physics!
The multi-player game consists of lots of races and in it's own way is just as good as the single player game. It also puts even more thought into the vehicle building because any edge could be just enough to win!
This is quite simply a game of epic proportions (when compered to something like Prince of Persia which can be one hundred percent completed in eight to ten hours and Left 4 Dead which can be one hundred percent completed in just six!) with everthing a Banjo-Kazooie fan loves with a new twist cleverly mixed in. All those 'fans' that have given this game a poor review, well as far as I'm concerned either they have not given this game the time and play it deserves or they have just dismissed it without having even tried it b ecause at the end of the day everything is there, you just have to find it!

Fun:
I am writing this review as i believe that the negative reviews do not do this game justice!
it is extremely fun to play and very creative, and has the classic banjo kazooie humor. Although it is not like the original and does not have all the power-ups as the first game did, the focus is based on creating your own vehicles in any ways you want!
even i was skeptical at first about buying this game
but after playing the demo i loved the feel of the colourful world of nuts and bolts
the graphics are simply flawless and are quite clearly of next gen standard.
But i personally believe this game is so good because it is so different to anything else on the market at the moment! the shelves are littered with similar fps games and this is a wonderful change from the norm colourful, imaginative and great fun to play.
download the demo and find out for yourself how much of a treat this game is :)
