  • Gorgeous visuals, cleverly written story, deep vehicle customisation options
  • Slightly repetitive gameplay, lacklustre multiplayer, a departure from franchise roots
  • Straying away from their platforming roots, Banjo and Kazooie branch out into the wild world of vehicular hilarity in this deep and satisfying effort from Rare. ...

  • Abstract:  Andrew Bistak8.0Banjo Kazooie returns to the console world after a lengthy absence and thankfully developers Rare are behind this latest epic to hit the XBox 360 in Banjo Kazooie Nuts & Bolts. Ever since we saw our heroes, they have become quite out...

  • Abstract:  Banjo has awoken from a long hibernation and, along with his trusty sidekick Kazooie, is finally back in the saddle. Nuts & Bolts takes place eight years after the events in the Nintendo 64 title Banjo-Tooie. The duo has also brought some old friends, ...

  • Fantastic vibrant graphics. Wacky environments to race your bizarre creations in. Multiplayer madness and ability to share your creations amongst friends. Nice physics that make all your creations handle differently.
  • Takes a while to pick up the parts to create more complex vehicles. Endless racings may become tiresome, although creating your own vehicles does help to avoid this.

  • Abstract:  How many 64 fans went out and got themselves a 360? Whatever the figure, the reception of Banjo Kazooe: Nuts & Bolts could be dependent on it. Rare was the one company that developed with near unshakeable quality for the Nintendo 64, and their buy-out ...

  Published: 2009-01-28, review by: darkzero.co.uk

  • Abstract:  Banjo and Kazooie have spent almost a decade as a dusty old franchise stacked on a shelf in the back of one of Rare’s ideas cupboard. I can only imagine that a random Rare employee accidentally stumbled across it whilst rootling for a mop, and wondered...

  • Same old classic humour, robust vehicle design
  • Few game engine problems, twitchy vehicle handling
  • Comebacks are almost universally disasters in the gaming world, but Banjo Kazooie: Nuts & Bolts proves that not everything is set in stone...

  • Most colorful game on 360, Rammed with experimental fun, Selfreferential humor
