Banjo-Kazooie: Nuts & Bolts Review

Banjo-Kazooie: Nuts & Bolts is a game that never stopped being fun for me. It's an odd duck that doesn't fit into any conventional game genres and probably isn't right for everybody. Despite its friendly appearance, Nuts & Bolts isn't exactly easy to pick up and play and might be over the head of some small children. There's a lot of depth here and the vehicle creation tools allow you to flex your mind and your fingers at the same time. This is a great change of pace from the usual Xbox 360 fare and a game that will offer a lot of fun to those willing to invest some time in it.

IGN Ratings for Banjo-Kazooie: Nuts & Bolts (X360)

Rating	Description
out of 10
7.0	Presentation A text-heavy, complex game in a children's suit.
8.5	Graphics Vibrant with great design, Banjo is a looker. Sometimes the engine can't keep up and the display will chug.
7.0	Sound I love the music but those sound effects could drive me nuts.
8.5	Gameplay A unique game that isn't for everyone. Invest some time in it and the charm will shine through.
8.5	Lasting Appeal The multiplayer game sounds good on paper, but isn't that hot in reality. The single-player game, however, is one that you can play for ages.
8.3 Impressive	OVERALL (out of 10 / not an average)
