Banjo and Kazooie return in this third installment to battle it out with the evil witch Gruntilda.

Build a vehicle to pilot over land, water and air at Mumbo's Motors.

The Lord of Games (LOG) has built many worlds to determine the rightful owner of Spiral Mountain. 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.

What Customers Say About Banjo-Kazooie: Nuts & Bolts:

The game is fun, good for all ages, and has decent replay value and maintains a sense of exploration for the player throughout.It can be a bit tedious or frustrating at times, but in general, this is a fun game for kids and adults and will give you hours of entertainment.

I flat out love this game. If you're on the fence, just get it. This was my choice for 2008's Game of The Year. Everyone should experience it. Good times await you. Fantastic single player and online play. Truly imaginative and inspiring game design.

Maybe I need to buy my own copy just so I can get some preactice in. At least I can hear him enjoying it from outside of his bedroom door. My son wanted this game for his birthday but we are now fighting over who gets to play it. He is such a pig and won't let Mommie play.

But failing to accomplish a set time in a mission only encourages one to build a better vehicle, or to find a new method to accomplish the task - to effectively "think outside the box." Vehicle designs - quite simply - are limitless. Boats. Can do. Helicopters, too. My wife would probably love B&K-N&B.I LOVE games that let me build stuff.

Piece of cake. Build a sub with a few concealed wheels underneath though and you'll be fine. But I saw a demo on an Xbox at a popular Video Game store, and decided to check it out. The text issues have been fixed for the most part.

And of course what vehicle wouldn't be complete without some egg launchers, maybe rockets, or a boot that'll pop out of box and kick unsuspecting foes.All in all the game aims to be cute - and believe me it delivers. All of the missions are timed, which I'll agree can be a little stressful. I've never played a Banjo & Kazooie game in my entire life. Planes. At 30 years of age, even I have to laugh when the instruction says "Engine: makes vehicles move.

So I'm writing this to people who are just now getting around to researching this game, since it has been out now for over 6 months.B&K-N&B is all about building vehicles to accomplish all sorts of missions. The most fun (in my opinion) is building multi-purpose vehicles - like amphibious space-jumping race trucks. I don't care who you are - that's AWESOME right there.I also see a TON of content in this game. I know nothing of the series.

and built a submersible helicopter. Wow yes I can." Not even 20 hours into the game I was trying to build Mater from the movie Cars. But B&K-N&B ALLOWS you to do that stuff, so have at it.Phenomenal game. Even stupid Bear can figure it out." I'd normally aim this game at kids or maybe women who don't care for the usual gamut of racing/first-person-shooting/roleplaying games. I built a massive cargo plane and watched it fly (complete with retracting landing gear).

Phenomenal idea, and just a constant source of entertainment. Of course, most of that is due to the fact that I'm too busy doing looptie-loops in my jumbo jet or exploring the ocean sea-bed in my truck. The graphics are beautiful, the stories are funny and entertaining, and even though I know very little of the B&K history, it's obviously not necessary to enjoy this awesome chapter of the story. After 20 hours I've only unlocked a small fraction of available vehicle parts and levels.

I downloaded a demo from Xbox Live, and bought the game less than 24 hours later.Let me tell you something - ANY game that encourages this level of creativity and thought process, and rewards the player for doing so as this game does, is one FANTASTIC video game.In a world of Grand Theft Auto's and Saints Row's, a game like Banjo & Kazooie Nuts & Bolts is such a welcome breath of fresh air.If you're reading this now, you're probably not a huge BK fan because if you WERE, you'd have already tried and possibly purchased the game. I love games that makes people go, "Hey can I do this. Submarines are possible but a little difficult as your vehicles can either sink or float, but cannot maintain a particular "depth" underwater. Cars/Trucks.

Yeup.

Hope Rare brings out some more awesome games with their original characters. It ended up being a must buy for twenty bucks on sale. I remember playing the first banjo Kazooie game on the N64 and trying to find every jinjo possible. Although this game changes the idea alittle with building vehicles from pieces like lego's it works rather well.
