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 game play 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 game play.

Customer Reviews

Banjo Threeie Review
After playing Banjo Kazooie (Nuts and Bolts), I thoroughly enjoy the aspect of having to test your skills of creativity in Mumbo Motors. It adds a totally new dimension the game, but still has all of the old thrills and gags that got me hooked in the first two installments. the soundtracks are as catchy as ever and the graphics are outstanding. One thing I would change about the game the size of the instructional text at the beginning of each task. It is way too small, and I found myself skipping all the small talk between the Banjo and whoever during the scripted stuff and just trying to read the main idea such as jinjo hurl/speed or combat. But I feel the replay value will be there because when one would start the game over you would be starting with a huge advantage having already mastered certain tasks or vehicle combos.

Not very impressed
Nuts & Bolts is not like the classic Banjo-Kazooie platformers that we played years ago. The main object of the game is to build unique vehicles and drive them around the world to complete objectives. I saw in a video that Banjo was wandering around (on foot) and I thought it's likely the same - but I was wrong.
On the plus side, it is interesting to build these funky vehicles - there's a pile of parts to unlock and although the vehicles can sometimes be clunky to drive, it's pretty fun. The graphics in this game are also very good.
