Banjo and Kazooie are both back for the 360 in an interesting take of the Banjo Kazooie series. This game is different from the other games where this is a vehicle based adventure game where the faster you complete objectives in each world, the more prizes you win. The vehicular creation tool is very easy to do and you can make tons of different vehicles and share them with your friends. The missions can be tackled in a variety of ways, the graphics look amazing and the audio definitely is a good backdrop. This game also has a lot of replay value and multiplayer mode. However, the controls for the land vehicles are a little touchy and the frame rate can drop from time to time. Overall though, if you liked Banjo Kazooie, you will like this one too but only if you keep in mind that this isn’t the same stuff that you are used to.
Pros:
+ Vehicular creation tool is robust and easy to use
+ Missions can be tackled in a variety of creative ways
+ Visuals are distinct and inviting
+ Soundtrack provides a great backdrop
+ Lots of replay value and a cool multiplayer mode
Cons:
- Control for land vehicles is touchy
- Frame-rate drops are infrequent but still punishing
Extras:
# Banjo Kazooie: Nuts and Bolts Cheat Codes
# Banjo Kazooie: Nuts and Bolts Achievements
