Banjo-Kazooie: Nuts & Bolts Review

Consider my ride pimped.

[Ripolt]

Judging it as a game on it's own, I love it. I spent hours messing about in the huge worlds, creating crazy and epic vehicles and I enjoyed playing as familiar characters.
As a Banjo and Kazooie game it's pretty bad as it's nothing like the original two, and I miss the platforming. If this game was made more true to the originals then it could have been a massive success.

Jesus, this game is almost 10 years old. I feel old

[SkippyLucky]

It's ok Banjo Kazooie fans he's in smash

[Inuzuka]

This game is filled to the brim with references to the first two games and things just for Banjo Kazooie fans. They put so much extra work into make true Banjo Kazooie fans happy. It's just a shame that so many people bash it without exploring the charm that it has for anyone willing to try. Banjoland alone made me nostalgia all over the place.

The final battle in this game was epic, you had to use all the parts you collected throughout the whole game to build the ultimate, all purpose vehicle. Too bad most people never gave this game a chance, i really loved it.

I'm sorry, but I adore this game.

Here in 2023 to see how closely this resembles tears of the kingdom

[mynameisreza]

this game visually looks way more polished than yooka laylee

To anyone who likes this game:
"Gamers today don't want all this, they just want to shoot things"

[cheetahcc]

Good, creative and fun game, but shouldn't have been a Banjo-Kazooie game.

I grew up on this game this was my first Xbox 360 game ever played it came with the xbox as a bundle but man the amount of hours i put into this game as a kid i but i never beat it nor understood it most of the time after all i was really young and dumb 😄 but now I strongly prefer banjo kazooie on the 64

[arstellum]

This would be a good game if
A) It wasn't a Banjo Kazooie game
and B) The story didn't suck

[goatcanon]

Am I the only one who actually likes this game?

[jassingh]

banjo kazooie on nintendo 64.. they were the days..

[_Ikelos]

Surprisingly, this one time IGN forgot to blurt out the word "Nostalgia" a couple dozen times to dismiss criticism.

[ShadowstarXIII]

I loved this game since I was little, I can't say as a Banjo-Kazooie game its bad like others do because, its a spin off. Its not meant to be BANJO 3! Its something new with the characters we love, Sonic does it, Mario does it, Crash does it, Banjo can too. For once I actually like an IGN review so a thumbs up from me

[youcantbeatk]

Notice how they showed gameplay from more than one level? *Cough JonTron Didn't Cough*

[sonicdoesfrontflips]

I'll bet any "true Banjo fans" hating on this game have never played Grunty's Revenge on GBA.
