Review: Banjo Kazooie Nuts and Bolts

+'s
-great visuals (very vibrant colors in the classic Rare style)
-witty dialogue
-simple but very well done vehicle creation/modification
-very good value (probably 40 hours of gamplay or finishing everything for $40)
-one of the first and best ways to implement user generated content into actual gameplay

-'s
-controls are frustrating at times
-multiplayer is not worth playing (and very few are online)
-limited replay value

Neutrals
-most achievements are achieved through the course of normal gameplay

Overall, if you don' t like Rare's "it's for kids, but we're trying to be gaming's version of Pixar" style then this won't change your mind. Some might purchase, but most will think a rental is a better value.

Score: 8.0/10
