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.

No way, it's Neo! Hey boss, where you been? WoW I guess... evil game. :p

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.
