Teamxbox: Banjo-Kazooie: Nuts and Bolts Review

Teamxbox report's: Game players often break out their likes and dislikes by genre. Some players prefer role-playing games for their depth and immersion. Some opt for sports games for their competition. Some like shooters for the fast pace and edge-of-the-seat exhilaration.

However, when it comes to the driving-game genre, there's an interesting division of that fan base. There's a group that likes the arcade-style contest-such as Need for Speed and Midnight Run-where the only focus is on the excitement of being behind the wheel and not as much on what's under the hood.

Why o why5643d ago

luckily theres a demo so you can half decide for yourselves. Maybe they did stray too far and this game may of been better off being a new ip who knows

marionz5643d ago

yeah as much as i loved the oldskool banjo games i just cant get into nuts and bolts, i really want to like this game just because its banjo and lord knows ive played the demo enough times now, i like it a little bit more every time i play it but i just cant consider it a must have game.

rare give the fans what they ask for next time, this could have been huge, but unfortunatly its just pretty average.

Panthers5643d ago

Then you will probably love the game. It just isnt what a lot of people wanted from Banjo.

Dareaver15643d ago

but i went into the demo with no expectations and very little Banjo and Kazooie experience.

It was a fun demo, and i lost 5 hours just running around the home world.

the graphics in my opinion are beautiful, the controls are tight, the animations are smooth, and i can't wait to see what the story is about.

It's a fresh direction on the 360, which has accomplished what the original XBox couldn't, and that's diversify it's games.

Great time to be a gamer.....

Teamxbox is the most anti 360 site ever, it has lost all credibility where I'm concerned, they have no business reviewing games and they're simply blind and looking for hits by putting down AAA games, their opinions don't count and the author probably doesn't even have a 360...

Why o why5643d ago

about that official playstation mag/site that keeps giving low scores. I swear the editor of that mag used to work for the xbox branch of that same company and that doesn't sit well with me especially after reading some of his past comments. I'm finding our industry tainted and sometimes im not sure who to trust so ill stick with me for my reviews as even my closest mates might not like what i do all the time

heyheyhey5643d ago

lol.... you called this game AAA

lol.... -YOU- have no credibility

and stop crying, this is NOTHING compared to how GameDaily, Eurogamer etc are biased against the PS3

I knew this game would be bad. why they changed it to racing game, I'll never know. if it aint broke, dont fix it.

its Rare. they make crap. their time has gone. they tried to please the modern generation or should I say 360 fanboys, by turning Banjo into racing.

if they were with Nintendo, Nintendo wont allow them to release this crap. they will at least try and rip off Mario Galaxy, instead they ripped off Forza lol

I want a new Perfect Dark, Banjo and Jet Force Gemini.

Bathyj1331d ago

I actually don't want them. I'm not a big fan of Microsoft rehashing IPs they had nothing to do with creating just because they happen to own them.

Before you call me fanboy tell me a game they did that to that actually lives up the the original?

Just leave our beloved memories alone. You want to bring something back, redo crimson Skies or Brute Force. At least they were your games and they need updates.

gamer78041331d ago

I'm all for The Initiative rebooting perfect dark as a third person though, sounds like its trying something new and not just rehashing with a new coat of paint with this idea. Hope we see a tease of it in the next showcase.

gamer78041331d ago

Rumor is The Initiative is working on rebooting Perfect Dark in third person, normally I wasn't a fan of taking existing IPs but if its something new like this I'm up for it.

jznrpg1331d ago (Edited 1331d ago )

Don’t give them the Battletoads treatment .

TravsVoid1331d ago (Edited 1331d ago )

Donkey Kong Country is probably my favorite game of all time but I've not connected with much else Rareware has made since other than maybe Killer Instinct. Sea of Thieves has got to be close to my worst $60 purchase I've ever made.

sagapo1331d ago

Viva pinata was kinda fun imo.

Don't bother. 10 pages to click through and all of them written very poorly

Relientk771729d ago

Ugh Musashi: Samurai Legend is so meh. Don't understand how you can go from Brave Fencer Musashi to that. I really want a Brave Fencer Musashi HD Remake or a true sequel. It's one of the best games I've ever played.

I actually liked it for what it was. But then again I'm not a Banjo fan. I actually hated a lot of the N64 style games that all followed the same Mario 64 style. Except for Conker.

IRetrouk1745d ago

I really enjoyed this game, the building was fun, I thought it was a well made platformer.

Vits1745d ago (Edited 1745d ago )

I kind of agree. The game had many new ideas that would have worked better in a new IP as people wouldn't be so upset that Nuts & Bolts played so differently from the older titles.

PhoenixUp1745d ago

I seriously hate how angular the redesigns are for so many of the characters in the game

The X06 trailer built people’s hopes only for the final release to ruin those dreams

-Foxtrot1745d ago

Damn right it should have

Can we just get Banjo Threeie and write this game off as Kazooies bad dream or something. An in game joke.
