Banjo-kazooie: Nuts and Bolts is a great game that adds a new gameplay element to the series.

I was very excited for this game when it came out. Despite the mixed reviews i still had high hopes for this game. When I finally got my hands on it i was not dissapointed. I was already laughing bout 30 minutes into the game.

The game is based around the ability to build custom vehicles or used pre-made ones to complete mini quests. If you get a high enough score on the challenge then you are awarded a Jiggy. These help you progress farther in the game.

Challenges can range from races to defending something. Some challenges are harder than others. I found that the races were the funnest for me because you can use watever measures neccesary to beat your oppenets. With the wide array of parts making a vehicle for different challenges was both fun and innotive. You could come up with creative solutions to any problem.

The graphics are great. The variety of enviroments are beutiful and the most outstanding of these is nutty acres. You can accsess any part part of these enviroments with planes, boats, or land vehicles. The characters are funny and well animated.

One of the only things i found wrong with this was some of the missions were either to hard or just not fun. The most of these were the combat challenges. Aiming with weapons is hard and can be frustrating.

Overall i found that Banjo-kazooie :Nuts and bolts was a good game.
