I would recommend to anyone who enjoys building things in order to solve puzzles. I would also recommend it to anyone who played the original Banjo games for the Nintendo 64, but I would caution those who are playing this because of the other two games that this is almost completely different from those games.Probably good for anyone with a 2nd grade reading level and up.
But overall it's great.Sound:Great soundtrack. At your disposal is a huge repertoire of vehicle parts unto which you can unleash your creative side. Jumping around on seat with a spring while a Clockwork Kazooie homes in on you - it's hysterical fun.Then there's actual games you can play. Within that, you may very well find yourself wasting hours upon hours just screwing around with friends.
oh my, you may be in for some of the most fun in your life. which trust me, is a LOT of fun. Try something new. but you know what, let's forget all of that. Well, that was no mistake. Let's throw away any preconceived views as to what you consider a true B-K game.
Well, two things. Well, going online and seeing how your vehicle fairs against others. Because if you do that, and go into the game open minded, you'll find one damn good game.Gameplay:This is where the game shines. There's no other game like this on the market. A FAR departure from what people want in terms of gameplay from a B-K game. Nice variety. The other thing is you use them for challenges. This is no exception.
If you're reading this - get Banjo-Kazooie: Nuts & Bolts. B-K fans (I'm one of them) waited 8 years for a new game. Unfortunately the challenges are repetitive. Frame-rate stutters *some* times. Rehashes themes from previous games, but still wonderful.Multiplayer:What's better than building a vehicle and trying it in a challenge.
And it's not like there isn't great fun to be had in the challenges. The challenges range from races, fetch quests, races, fetch quests - oops, did I say that twice. Cars, boats, planes, large-death-laser-shooting-crazy-machine - if you think of it, chances are you can build it.But okay, you have all these vehicles, what do you do with them. It's like a virtual toy box that anyone can use to build something and then use.-Review-Alright yeah. You just have to keep pushing yourself to create new vehicles to use.Graphics:Gorgeous graphics are to be expected from a game by Rare. Family friendly, and everyone can get enjoyment from it.
This game actually has great, unique multiplayer. Spend countless hours screwing around and testing them out. Great to play with friends.Overall:Brilliantly unique game. Test-O-Track.
It makes a wonderful holiday gift, and you'll be able to afford the low price. Problem is, not many people play it. But if you can find a couple of friends to play with. But it's a shame they're few and far in-between.I digress, if you're like me, the simple fact that you can build all these vehicles should make your mouth water with excitement. Take a break from the same-old-same-old of games that this industry is littered with - and get Banjo-Kazooie: Nuts & Bolts.
Of course, there ARE creative challenges. they got THIS. They range from races, king of the hill varient, sumo, soccer, basketball, etc. Beating challenges and collecting jiggies is how you progress. They're fun at first, but when it's a race every other challenge things can get a tad tedious.
I can't explain how fun it is, you really need to see for yourself. There's no other game like it.
I suggest that you finish the story game before getting to worked up about the multiplayer. One thing about the multiplayer: Every minigame will give you a vehicle that you can use if you don't have one that will do well.
There is a huge variety of parts, engines, jets, sails, lasers, missiles, propellers, wings, 3 type of material (body parts) and each type of material has the following parts: Cube, wedge, corner, panel, T-panel, L-panel, pole, L-pole, and T-pole. The story mode is really fun, and once you are finished with it, you will be satisfied, its not too long, or too short, and always fun.
Banjo Kazooie Nuts and Bolts is filled with great, colorful graphics, huge worlds, 100s of challenges, humor, funny characters, and it gives you the license to be absolutely crazy, or totally efficient in your vehicle designs. You can use the vehicles that you made in each challenge.
The multiplayer is really great, there are so many types of minigames you can play via XBL, or splitscreen. You can play sports games, you can race, or you can have a banjo brawl on land, in the air, water, or even space.
But if you just started the story mode of the game, you will be limited in parts, and will most likely have to pick the vehicle they give you in order to have a chance, as people who finished the game, and have strong weapons and super parts, will most likely dominate you. You can always do the beginner option, which will make everyone use the same vehicle.
i have yet to receive this order even though the due date was a month ago and the sender hasnt contacted me back
I love this game. I found that what kept me motivated was finding more vehicle parts so that I could continue to upgrade my vehicles. It's kind of like super mario because of the world with multiple sub worlds and sub challenges, but it has a unique twist. Instead of merely trying to improve your performance on the challenges, you also try to create and tweak the ideal vehicle to use to complete the challenges. Also, the game is very well constructed with attractive levels and creative challenges. It has kept me interested long enough to complete almost all the challenges/levels.
