I have a tingly feeling this game is going to suck nuts & bolts. I suppose including the original was the only way to guarantee some sales.

Hm, interesting deal. But like GM, it makes me wonder if the game needs it.
Like The Wind Waker.
If we had this over here, I'd have already pre-ordered. Just hearing the Banjo music is enough to warrant a purchase..
Demo out on Live. Downloaded it but still haven't been able to play it..

Wasn't a huge fan.
Too much emphasis on the vehicles not enough on the platforming. And I think the vehicles control a little floaty.
Hmm. I'm going to have to try this out.
I agree with BaB, it's always about the vehicles. Would've been much better if you could just do everything on foot, without the need to get into the damn car every time.
Having said that, I still like it. It feels like Banjo. And the demo level was great, a whole level of Banjo nostalgia :D

This isn't a platform game, then. You can eke out hidden extras on-foot in the hub world, Showdown Town, but this is a driving, flying and boating game, with almost no player death or hairy jumps to worry about. You are collecting 131 jigsaw pieces (jiggies) - in much the same framework as Mario gathering stars - but every task begins by asking you to select or build a vehicle to fit the brief. You're never let loose on foot and then given the choice, and if you were, you wouldn't enjoy it, because the vast, ornately detailed openworld level environments would take several minutes to cross, and their thick bridges, riverbeds, hills, pathways, iceflows and buildings are impractical for platforming. They're either there to absorb your rubber, or look sexy as you deliver coconuts to a supply ship, barge Mr. Patch into a cactus with a biplane, or launch yourself off a ski-jump in a homemade toboggan.
Damn you Rare
Damn you to hell!

Hahah, I think I'm alright with this. Although it's shitty because Mario Galaxy made me crave a big openworld platforming game.. and I thought Banjo would be it.

A beautiful world full of wasted potential.
On a unrelated topic, who tried the new Tomb Raider demo? It was actually, like, pretty damn good...
I love me some Banjo. I have to finish Silent Hill first, though. Damn WoW.

Our forums need a lot of updates, get to work! :mad:
Or at least give Bond and Dyne the clearance levels to do it.

Ya, for some reason my arcade scores aren't being saved. I need you guys to know how badly you are getting pwned.

Remember the big GT feud that broke out when Danchastu posted a comic showing a drunk Banjo raping Kazooie? I think Danny made that comic too.
It caused all kinds of upset and controversy. :D

There was no big feud. It was just me leaving (again). And in case you're wondering, I still think it's bad taste to joke about rape.

Just a quick heads up, not sure how long it will last. Amazon has Banjo Kazooie Nuts & Bolts for $26 with free shipping.

LMAO! This game must be tanking big time!
Looks like Gruntilda got the last laugh after all. :-)

I actually really like the game, personally.
This game? Tanking? I doubt it.
I have the best girlfriend ever; she bought me this out of the blue. Along with the preorder bonus of Banjo Kazooie Oneie. :D
The game is SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO good.

Did you honestly just use Oneie? :(

How's that Treasure Hunt going. You know, that guy who hid priceless treasures all over the country and then published cryptic clues inside a children's book. I seem to remember that book having its hooks in you.

Gaaaaaah.
I had only played for a little bit at a friends house. But the game was waiting for me when I got home today and I ended up playing for four hours straight.
Soooo incredibly good. I have to say, though, I found kind of a big exploit for floating the cart around the main level and I've been collecting pieces I probably shouldn't have yet >_>

What an ass.. reminded Dyne he can't play the game because his Xbox is broken.
And now you mention how much fun it is...

TML, how is the lack of platforming? Does it make much difference?

Yeah, I'm a bad guy. What can I say?

Yes, it does. But I personally think the vehicle creation and the fact that you can use your custom vehicles in most of the game make up for it. The quests have been fun so far.
And once you get a vehicle that flies the game really takes off (edit: just to say that pun was entirely unintentional).
