DESCRIPTION
Banjo-Kazooie: Nuts & Bolts challenges players to design and drive vehicles that allow the bear and backpacked bird heroes to complete tasks and accomplish goals. Winning a race, reaching a remote location, jumping a certain distance of off a ramp — each 3D platform-puzzle challenge is specific, but players can set out to meet it in any way they choose. The only limitations are imagination and parts. Players can supply their own imagination, but new parts are found hidden throughout the game world, especially the game's Showdown Town hub area, which is explored in more traditional, on-foot 3D platform gameplay.
The third Banjo-Kazooie game, first on an Xbox console, Nuts & Bolts' build-it-yourself focus is a departure from the play style of the N64 hits, but many fan-familiar characters and conventions make appearances. As the story goes, A powerful entity known as Lord of Games has grown sick of the bickering between Banjo and Gruntilda, and has devised a contest to decide the rightful owner of Spiral Mountain. Each of this contest's challenges takes place in a different level, and new levels are unlocked with collectible "jiggie" puzzle pieces — won or uncovered throughout the adventure. Multiplayer options, both cooperative and competitive, are supported over Xbox Live, and connected players can share their favorite vehicle blueprints. ~ T.J. Deci, All Game Guide

“OK so first thing to get out of the way is that Banjo-Kazooie: Nuts & Bolts is NOT a Banjo-Threeie ... or the spiritual successor to Banjo-Kazooie and Banjo-Tooie (both of which can be played on the XBLA in all their retro glory!). I think...”
“OK so first thing to get out of the way is that Banjo-Kazooie: Nuts & Bolts is NOT a Banjo-Threeie ... or the spiritual successor to Banjo-Kazooie and Banjo-Tooie (both of which can be played on the XBLA in all their retro glory!).
I think Nuts & Bolts is more similar to LEGO Racers (great game) but with all the charm and crazy Rare-ness that you'd expect from a Banjo game. And it's all the better for it, coz really this is a brilliant game (but maybe not the brilliant game people were expecting/wanting).
The odd moments of classic platforming are just amazing - especially climbing right to the top of LOG's castle - and the vehicle creating tools are easy to grasp, but have tons of depth ... although the physics employed are a bit screwed up, but then who cares ... it's a Banjo game after all!”

“Fun to play and VERY colorful worlds!!! Vehicle creation is great but I wish the pieces didn't snap to a grid and were just free to place where you want. Still I've seen some amazing vehicles come out of this game. Definitely recommend!!!!”
