Product Description
Throughout their adventure, players create their own abilities by building vehicles for Banjo to pilot over land, water and air. Vehicle parts, which range from simple devices such as engines and wheels to more unusual equipment such as springs and egg guns, are earned and collected throughout the game. Players use their imagination to combine parts in any order to create whatever vehicle they choose. LOG’s challenges have one goal, but players’ choice of vehicle and tactics will determine how they get there. By exploring worlds and solving puzzles, players both young and old will be rewarded with more advanced and diverse vehicle parts in their quest to defeat Grunty once and for all.
With the power of Xbox 360 and Xbox LIVE, “Banjo-Kazooie: Nuts & Bolts” brings an entirely new experience to the console and takes the franchise to a whole new level of enjoyment. High-definition graphics, user-created content and online gameplay are just three of the many advances people of all ages and skill levels will discover as they embark on their adventure.
Features:
- An adventure that starts with your imagination. If you can imagine it, you can build it in the Mumbo’s Motors easy-to-use workshop. Then put your creation to the test as you take on Grunty in your quest for Spiral Mountain. Unlike other games, where the player progressively picks up new skills or abilities at points pre-determined by the game’s creator, “Banjo-Kazooie: Nuts & Bolts” puts the power of improving Banjo’s abilities into the hands of the players as they build vehicles that allow Banjo to progress through the game. Vehicle parts include a wide variety of body panels, engines, wheels, wings, propellers, fuel and weapons, plus many more weird and wonderful gadgets such as floaters, Mumbo Bombos and the versatile sticky ball, from which players can design and create anything from a simple object-carrying truck to a space-age flying saucer. Once you’ve designed your creation, give it the finishing touch by painting it and choosing a suitable name before Banjo jumps in and pilots it into action.
- Customizable experience. With more than 100 contraption parts and unlimited combinations possible, no two players will have the same experience in “Banjo-Kazooie: Nuts & Bolts.” By exploring the vast game worlds, discovering hidden secrets and solving puzzles to win rewards, players continually find more and more ways to customize and improve their contraptions, creating an unprecedented level of user-generated content for a 3-D platform adventure game.
- Fun right out of the box. Don’t worry if you aren’t the world’s greatest inventor or want to skip the workshop and get straight to the action, because “Banjo-Kazooie: Nuts & Bolts” comes with a fully loaded experience right out of the box. Pre-built vehicles are included so players can jump right in and get started, with many more contraptions available for purchase throughout the adventure using the in-game currency system of musical notes.
- Engaging storyline and entertaining characters. Two of Rare’s most beloved characters have returned from retirement, making their debut on Xbox 360. To win the deed to their homeland and prevent the evil witch Gruntilda from developing it into tower blocks and malls, Banjo and his best friend Kazooie battle over land, sea and air against their longtime rival. Familiar faces such as Mumbo Jumbo, Bottles, Captain Blubber and the Jinjos are also back to lend a hand, along with an equally colorful cast of new friends and foes. Look out for Trophy Thomas, Piddles, Lord of the Games and Grunty’s mechanically menacing army of Gruntbots.
- Enjoy alone or with friends. “Banjo-Kazooie: Nuts and Bolts” offers complete single-player and multiplayer experiences. You can play through the adventure alone in the single-player campaign, or play with friends in competitive or cooperative challenges on your own or in teams.
- Fun for everyone. Xbox 360 is the home to the best entertainment experiences for everyone. With “Banjo-Kazooie: Nuts & Bolts,” Xbox 360 continues to build its impressive lineup of content that appeals to people of all ages and types.

Back to the old days
 Reviewed by Michael on September 4th, 2009
This game will bring you back to the days of going to your friends house to play Banjo Kazooie on the old N64, this is a great game with sooo much to keep you entertained plus the graphics no longer make the characters look all brick like as the did on the old (but amazing) N64.
Suprisingly Good!
 Reviewed by Michael on June 5th, 2009
I bought this game as a bit of variety of games to play in case younger people come around but I was really surprised by how much fun this game can be. The game worlds have a sandbox feel to them and everything is made of cardboard and stuff and is fun to push around. But the multiplayer is kind of hard to find the other person in the maps especially in flying vehicles.
Inventive
Reviewed by William on February 1st, 2009
Banjo Kazooie was one of my favorite N64 games, and I was very happy to see it brought back to life on Xbox 360, and in such great form.
The game is very much like the original in music and characters, as well as the style of cutscenes and dialogue, which all bring you back years to the good N64 times.
The vehichle building is original and very easy to use. The peices connect only in certain ways, and the body is made up of simple pipes and plates. While this seems to limited, it holds the balance between being too limited and too complicated very well, resulting in a very straight forward and easy to use builder.
Even if you don't like building, there are premade plans given to you at the beginning as you progress farther in the game, which you can modify if you wish.
In all, this game is inventive, fun, and well worth a buy.
Original - Humourous - Fun
Reviewed by Jacob on December 16th, 2008
Okay. It's been 8 years since the last Banjo Kazooie game, and us Banjo Kazooie fans have been glaring at this game from the time it'd been confirmed by Rare. And I must say, way to go Rare! As with every sequel to an already successive game, their are pro's and cons, especially considering the bolt move Rare has taken. Yes, there are vehicles. Yes the gameplay is severely altered. Yes banjo's nose is big and square. But I didn't say they were cons... Sure, a 3D platformer for the next gen console would have been awesome, Rare is broadening their demographic. They're gathering younger and more diverse fans to their already pristine base. And if this is direction Banjo is heading, I'm glad they've done what they're doing. The graphics. A Banjo Kazooie game wouldn't be right without superb graphics, and BKN&B does not fall short. Luscious environments, brimming with bright colours and detail don't even give them half the justice. Every level has it's own theme, and every level looks brilliant, right down the floor textures, that look as though they've been stitched to together, by some Lord of Games...
The sound. Again, it wouldn't be a Banjo game without it's music, and again, BKN&B doesn't hold back. Although some levels have boring repetitive music (Logbox 720), the music generally fits in well with the action of the game. However, I noticed the serious parts don't cut to serious music like in the prior N64 games, which really does detract from the serious moments, playing bouncy cartoony music... The gameplay. This is a big one. Kazooie has a wrench. No, she can't leave Banjo's backpack. She can't fly, she can't shoot grenades, she can't even shoot lazers and torpedoes. BUT, her vehicles can! Showdown Town, the hub world for N&Bs, is just like a platformer should be, and feels like a banjo game right to the core. Certain areas are only accessible when you've levelled up your trolley, and this retains the restricted access that was ever so much fun in the previous games. For example, at the beginning of the game, you can't drive up steep walls, leaving you designated in the town part of showdown town. Upon defeating Grunty (yes, Grunty still believes she can defeat the anthropomorphic bear and bird) you are given "high grip" tires, which thus give you access above the town district. Simple platforming! The vehicle gameplay is fun, on so many levels. You can play the game with pre-built vehicles, but you can't help but enter Mumbo's workshop to build crazy zealous contraptions to play around with. You can create an armored tank, brimming with rockets, grenade eggs, lazers, and Clock Work Kazooie Bombs, right down to seat with a spring, that upon being sprung, launches you miles into the air.
Through and through, Banjo's original platforming has been mutilated into something much more brilliant, and as we know, Rare never lets us down!

Amazing amount of possibilities
Reviewed by Jimmy on December 15th, 2008
This game is all about building vehicles and using them to do challenges in its many worlds. You can make cars, boats, planes and mixes of them and the possibilities are endless.
The gameplay is very fun to mess around with your creations and some of the later stages will make you think. For the amazingly low price you cant go wrong with nuts and bolts
Really Great Game!
Reviewed by Lachlan on December 5th, 2008
Takes me back to the days of a Bear and a Bird. I you really like building vehicles and driving them but also love cartoonish style graphics than this is your game. With a range of parts to unlock and choose from the vehicle transformation is endless.
Downloaded Demo looking good
Reviewed by Samuel on November 4th, 2008
I have downloaded the demo off the xbox live marketplace. It looks pretty good a few things missing from the original but theyve been replaced with new features(ex. Mumbo Jumbo is now where you build your vechiles as apposed to changing character. Its more focused on building things which the title suggests. The graphics are good. The controls are simplistic. I just hope in the full game he original features like carrying banjo around on kazooies back and firing eggs. Overall looks good. One cool thing is those annoying theme songs are back. Been waiting 10 years for this so it better be good. Hope this helps a few people.
