In Nuts & Bolts, a showdown has been set. The Lord of the Games (LOG) has arranged a duel between Banjo and the evil witch Gruntilda, aka Grunty, to decide the rightful owner of Spiral Mountain. LOG, being the creator of all video games, has built a multitude of worlds to host the challenges. Banjo must complete all the worlds to win, while Grunty tirelessly tries to stop his efforts using every method she can muster.
Build it at Mumbo's Motors The game is loaded with vehicle options to help Banjo pilot over land, water, and air. Parts for vehicles are widely diverse, ranging from your standard engines and wheels to egg guns, floaters, and other gadgets. The Mumbo's Motors workshop makes it easy to create new vehicles. You'll collect different parts by solving puzzles and exploring worlds. Vehicle parts include a wide variety of body panels, engines, wheels, wings, propellers, fuel, and weapons, plus lots of bizarre items like Mumbo Bombos, floaters, and the versatile sticky ball that allows you to create almost anything from a simple object. Once you've finished your ride, customize your creation with a paint job and a suitable name before Banjo takes the wheel and pilots it into action.
Customize, Customize, Customize--or Just Get Down to Business LOG's worlds are littered with hidden secrets, reward puzzles, and over 100 contraption parts that deliver an almost limitless combination of vehicle possibilities. As you work through the worlds, you'll discover more and more ways to customize and improve your contraptions, creating a surprising level of user-generated content. But even if you don't fancy yourself the greatest inventor or a highly creative craftsman, you can still have countless hours of fun with Banjo-Kazooie's pre-built vehicles. With these at your fingertips you're ready to jump in and get started, and there are plenty more contraptions available for purchase throughout the adventure using in-game currency and musical notes.
Characters, Old and New Banjo and his best friend, Kazooie, are ready to battle for their homeland and prevent Grunty from developing it into tower blocks and malls. Other familiar faces return as well, such as Bottles, Captain Blubber, and the Jinjos, along with a vibrant cast and crew of new friends and foes. Keep your eyes peeled for Grunty's minions--look out for Trophy Thomas, Piddles, and Grunty's menacing Gruntbots: they'll do anything to prevent Banjo's success.
Nuts & Bolts offers an engaging storyline, entertaining characters, and fun gameplay options. This game offers complete single-player and multiplayer experiences--tackle LOG's worlds on your own, or play with your friends in competitive and cooperative challenges. Banjo-Kazooie: Nuts & Bolts for Xbox 360 is a enjoyable, challenging game that appeals to people of all ages and types.
Banjo-Kazooie: Nuts & Bolts delivers loads of customization options, interesting characters (old and new), and plenty of fun, challenging gameplay.

Rating: - WHAT HAPPENED????
First off, I love the first Banjo and Kazooie game. I have played it over and over again. I am playing it agian on my HDTV since, I was able to download it from XBOX Live Arcade. As far as Nuts and Bolts goes, were they nuts making this game. What were they thinking when they came up with this design. Sorry, I have to rate this game with one star. I was hoping for a new adventure not a racing game. If I wanted a racing game, I would stick to Need for Speed. If you are looking for the same ... Read More
Rating: - The Return of Banjo Kazooie
Banjo is back! The price of this game makes it a no-brainer. I highly recommend this game as it is fantastic addition to the Banjo series. For those who have trouble reading the small text on a standard devition TV, a patch is soon coming. The few complaints I have are minor and don't detract from the overall experience. This game is very creative and unique making it stand out from the rest of the pack. Give this game a chance, you can't go wrong for the price.
Rating: - Best Game Ever! (My Son's Opinion)
This review is actually being written by my 12-year old son. Here it is.
"When I got this game I thought it would be complicated building your own cars, boats, planes,and helicopters. It's actually pretty simple and there are video guides to show you how to build a great vehicle. GET IT NOW!!"
Rating: - Response to Long drawn out reviews
As with any game there is a learning curve. Banjo-Kazooie is not a "teach me to read" game or a "lead me by the hand" game. You may need some patience and actually sit down with your kid and slowly show him/her what to do and how to do it. But overall the average 10+ year old could master the basics in a short time and go on from there, and play this AWESOME GAME full of action and adventure. I give it a 10+++ rating. Thanks to All the Guys and Girls at RARE involved in making this Excellent ... Read More
Rating: - Not What You Might Think
The game is somewhat fun, but.... it's not what you might expect from a BK game. The game is basically one challenge after another to win Jiggys and trophies. Unfortunately, but you might like this, most of the challenges are timed races. I was looking forward to kicking back, exploring worlds and finding Jiggys, Notes and Jingos, not having to beat certain times to win Jiggys. The leisure is gone...
Even this might not be so bad, except building and choosing the correct vehicles is ... Read More
