Banjo-Kazooie: Nuts & Bolts for Xbox 360 Reviews by Gamers

I know the core mechanics of this game give it a little learning curve that older audiences may pick up faster than the younger croud. Or maybe im underestimating the little buggers. I enjoyed the inviroments and physics of this game. However the change in gameplay I feel is a letdown for the series. I also found that at the start of the game becides telling you that jiggies unlock new worlds and jingos have quests for you, there is little to no indication of where to go or what to do next. I fealt there should have been a more extensive tutorial for the first stage, maybe hinting on how to solve challenges a little. I spent the first hour of this game driving arround clueless. Not to mention the music in this game sucks the life out of you, it was almost like playing a game with barney the dinosaur in the background. I had to turn my tv off or on mute while i paused because the music there is a god aweful loop. Hes not a video game either but atleast Barney can talk, in banjo you are forced to read scripts, while characters mutter some nonsense noise and animations that distract. This game was like sticking a cheese grater through my ear, and flossing it back and forth repeatedly. If you cant read more than the giant E on the optition test, then you'll hate the text size in this, its small, waaay too small. I couldnt even give this game a full play through out of boredom, so my review is only of what i saw. The graphics are beautiful and the worlds are highly imaginative. But it flops in my eyes. There really isnt a genre of games that are build a vehicle adventure platforming to compare this one too. I hate to say im too old for this game, cause im only 22 and im sure alot of people my age enjoyed this. And I usually love any game, targeted at any audience given the fact that it keeps you wanting to play more.
