You'll collect different parts by solving puzzles and exploring worlds. Vehicle parts include a wide variety of body panels, engines, wheels, wings, propellers, fuel, and weapons, plus lots of bizarre items like Mumbo Bombos, floaters, and the versatile sticky ball that allows you to create almost anything from a simple object. Once you've finished your ride, customize your creation with a paint job and a suitable name before Banjo takes the wheel and pilots it into action. Customize, Customize, Customize--or Just Get Down to Business LOG's worlds are littered with hidden secrets, reward puzzles, and over 100 contraption parts that deliver an almost limitless combination of vehicle possibilities. As you work through the worlds, you'll discover more and more ways to customize and improve your contraptions, creating a surprising level of user-generated content.

With these at your fingertips you're ready to jump in and get started, and there are plenty more contraptions available for purchase throughout the adventure using in-game currency and musical notes. Characters, Old and New Banjo and his best friend, Kazooie, are ready to battle for their homeland and prevent Grunty from developing it into tower blocks and malls. Other familiar faces return as well, such as Bottles, Captain Blubber, and the Jinjos, along with a vibrant cast and crew of new friends and foes. Keep your eyes peeled for Grunty's minions--look out for Trophy Thomas, Piddles, and Grunty's menacing Gruntbots: they'll do anything to prevent Banjo's success. Nuts & Bolts offers an engaging storyline, entertaining characters, and fun gameplay options.

Sounds like fun January 8, 2009 We bought this as a gift for our son and it seems to be getting some heavy play so I make my assumptions from there! Not just for little kids but big kids as well as our boys are 19 and 21.
Banjo-Kazooie: Nuts & Bolts O.K. game. Good seller. January 6, 2009 I bought this game for my daughter and she liked it at first, but got bored with it pretty quick due to the repetition of the game. The seller was fast though.
Fun Game January 6, 2009 This is a fun game for the kids that like to build things. My 12 year old loves to build just bout anything that is why he like this game so much. The gameplay looks fun but my only negative review is that all the passages you have to read are in a very small font. The lettering could of been alot larger. It was hard far me to read it on a 60" TV. But my son has no complaints about it and tells me he can read it just fine. Maybe its just me.
What's So Special? January 3, 2009 We just received our XBOX 360 at Christmas. I finally was able to get on it with no kids vying for the system, so I decided to give Banjo-Kazooie: Nuts & Bolts a shot. I enjoyed playing the older versions, so I thought I would just love this game also.
The writing is so small that I couldn't even get the true directions for the games as it raced by on the screen. I am a fast reader, yet I couldn't even start to understand how to play. I did have my seven year old within earshot to help me out if needed.
The beginning car was easy to work, and I ended up getting through the first two levels with not a whole lot of problems. The side games were fun, and the traveling between the worlds was not difficult at all.
My frustration happened when I ran out of places to go. I found one mini-type game that required for me to have a passenger seat in my vehicle. I took my car into the shop and failed at getting a passenger seat put on. So, I decided to go forward and try to just play around in the worlds. I had trouble finding anything to do. I got very bored and a little nauseous from the camera that followed me around.
We also purchased the guide book. Unlike the Mario guidebooks that I had with my Nintendo system, this guidebook didn't guide me. It gave me a lot of information, but it didn't help me get unstuck in my quest to find something to do. Overall, it was a disappointment for this old chick who loves video games. I wasn't impressed with the games or my experience on the 360. I do hope other games deliver a "special" experience.
Soo Disapointing!! December 30, 2008 0 out of 4 found this review helpful
I am a big Banjo Kazooie fan. I could not believe that a new one was finally coming out. When the first one came out it got me interested in playing video games again. I was so filled with anticipation to play this game. Wow what a let down. This game sucks so bad! It is NOT a platform game. It has none of the classic fun game play or story. You have to build cars and drive them. If I wanted a driving game I would have bought one. As driving games go it is still horrible. There are so many things wrong with this game. Even the font and size of the text that they used was unreadable and then they went so fast it was impossible to read. I am very angry and frustrated as a fan they really messed this up. Don't buy it or if you must wait until it ends up in the $5 bin.
