In Nuts & Bolts, a showdown has been set. The Lord of the Games (LOG) has arranged a duel between Banjo and the evil witch Gruntilda, aka Grunty, to decide the rightful owner of Spiral Mountain. LOG, being the creator of all video games, has built a multitude of worlds to host the challenges. Banjo must complete all the worlds to win, while Grunty tirelessly tries to stop his efforts using every method she can muster.
Build it at Mumbo's Motors The game is loaded with vehicle options to help Banjo pilot over land, water, and air. Parts for vehicles are widely diverse, ranging from your standard engines and wheels to egg guns, floaters, and other gadgets. The Mumbo's Motors workshop makes it easy to create new vehicles. 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. But even if you don't fancy yourself the greatest inventor or a highly creative craftsman, you can still have countless hours of fun with Banjo-Kazooie's pre-built vehicles. 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.

Banjo-Kazooie: Nuts & Bolts O.K. game. Good seller.:
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:
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?:
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... more info
Soo Disapointing!!:
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... more info
