  • Reasons why this game sucks:

    1. Went along with the fad that kids only want to shoot shit.

    2. Made Kazooie useless.

    3. Banjo's nose is square. WTF

    4. No epic bosses, just dumb races or capture the flag, or spit ammo at a target.

    5/ Nail in Coffin: THERE IS NO PLATFORMING!!!! I want to to go flying around and get to hidden jiggies! And no Jinjo fucking bingo shit, I want to find Jinjos to get difficult jiggies. I hope a Rare designer sees my comment to bring Banjo Kazooie back to it's former fame

  • @Closerhenry Response to 3.

    Grunty was right

  • @Closerhenry Also Rare is bankrupt.

  • This game isn't bad. It's different.

  • at least banjo is getting better treatment than spyro and crash.

  • this game wouldn't be that bad if it wasn't with Banjo. Thats totally not what you as a Banjo Fan expect from a "sequel". If this game was released with some random guy as protagonism, it would appeal to those who like such games and not to disappointed Banjo Fans

  • Rare should give banjo and kazooie series to nintendo

  • @sonicfreakify Não foi a Microsoft que fez o jogo assim seu idiota, foi a mesma equipe da NIntendo que fez os dois primeiros. Esses fans burros que não aceitam mudança alguma, esse jogo é BEM MELHOR que BK e BT, e ele não é ruim, É DIFERENTE do que você está acostumado.

  • @Egajoc um theres nothing wrong with the game im just saying nintendo would still use the characters so your an idiota

  • @Egajoc and they made it a banjo kazooie game

  • I know you people are gonna hate me for saying this but

    I think it looks pretty good and I like how they used more phisics then what other games do and the fact you can be creative with making those things lets you use your imagonation a bit more then just having cars or planes that are already made for ya

  • @Sadet1991 Aye, it'd have been so much better as a new IP instead of trying to squeeze Banjo into something it isn't.

  • The fuck is this?

  • Banjo-Kazooie is a platform and action-adventure video game

  • oh guys stop being dumb this game is awesome just don't think of it as banjo,

    its like garry's mod its still half life but you can make stuff just like this

  • i made a hornet from halo 3 it was awesome and then i destroyed lol

  • I think its a good idea for a game, but using Banjo's name just to sell it was...stupid

  • Anyone know what the gamerscore is like on this game? Is it easy?

  • @TheTurdGuy Only ones who are hard to get are the Xbox Live ones. You rarely ever see anyone play this online, let alone play this at all. Don't get me wrong, I really liked this game but compared to the previous ones.. meh.

  • Why is Rareware so shitty? They could have just made Threeie, but "No, nobody wants to play the same old Banjo." Fuck Rare.

  • @UnderwhelmingPlywood I know right? Think of it this way. We shouldn't give up on Rare. We've got to find a way to pull Rare away from Microsoft and remake Banjo-Kazooie and Banjo-Tooie on the 3DS and Wii. I don't want to forget to remake those games on the Wii U as well. Do you agree?

  • @Goldvingunner The only problem is we'd have to get the old devs back.

  • @UnderwhelmingPlywood Well, then we'll all have to email the old devs and tell them about how much we miss them.

  • @Goldvingunner We should get them to make banjo threeie, but give it a different name and change the style a tiny bit.

  • @UnderwhelmingPlywood Alright! We must fight Rare to get its original devs back and go back to nintendo where they belong. Do you agree sir?

  • @Goldvingunner Of course I do, but we don't have the resources. We just have to sit back and watch as the world goes to hell.

  • @UnderwhelmingPlywood Lol. What do you mean we don't have the resources?

  • @RedLobsterCultCrew I already tried it. Didn't like it at all.

  • @TheGameingNoob I don't know. They could have figured something out. I wouldn't have minded using some of the old moves. I could tell the newer moves were getting harder to make. Basically, ALL of them are awesome. I want them all back. Story? I don't know... ;-; Places... I also don't know. I guess a re-vesit would have been nice. : D What mattered is that we would have seen a Spiral Mountain but with AWESOME GRAPHICS. :3

  • God I hated this game OTL

  • Why would rare bring a game from the 1980s and just have the same exact storyline over and over again? They cant always have the same style 20 years in row...it would get really boring...so all you 40 year old virgins stop complaining...the navy isnt going to bring back a biplane from the 1940s and add more guns to it are they?

  • @gullett1966 to be fair all the popular games like cod are the same every game.online- shoot a guy lvl up. offline- run into a room full of dumb ai and kill them all. then the next cod comes out and it the same thing. In 20 years time there will probably b cod 28 modern warefare 13.

  • @Salvation10229 didnt know we were talking about a fish...

  • Rare needs to understand that they are killing off their fans. Instead of focusing on "Kinect Sports", Rare should start developing a legit sequel to Conker's Bad Fur Day, Kameo: Elements of Power, and Banjo-Kazooie.

    I swear I'm gonna start a petition for Nintendo to buy back Rare (I know it's already been done before, but I don't care).

  • They should have just done a remake of Banjo-Kazooie.

  • @OtakuComedyClub ...They did...

  • Not as bad as most people make it out to be... but its not what made banjo games such classics. I understand rare was trying to do something different but they should have saved that for another game.. Now microsoft might not even want another banjo game, judging by the bitter sweet success of this game.

    Just imagine a real banjo game running on this highly detailed engine.. that would be something :/

  • Like if they should have remade Banjo-Kazooie and Banjo-Tooie with these graphics and music instead of make this game.

  • @SarioTriforce64 well they kinda did? or am i missing a joke here?

  • @SarioTriforce64 i agree, but the game industry cannot be composed of remakes, thats all ever want. certain games deserve remakes but i personally would prefer if they made a banjo kazooie three which was an awsome platformer with same, yet improved features of banjo kazooie & tooie. :)

    tl;dr i want a real BK/BT platformer sequal

  • @SarioTriforce64 Lol I was just saying that to my friend.

  • And to think I wanted to check this out D: ew.

  • The game its fun but its a contradiction and an insult to what really Banjo Kazooie is. Rare Ware were such an idiots in all that stupid ideas of making the universe of Banjo Kazooie a cybernetic Universe (YOU FUCKIN KIDDING ME?!). I really really hate that fuckin asshole character called L.O.G (Lord Of the Games MY ASS!!! More like Lord Of the Gamesuckers). RARE please if you dont want to keep raping and destroying your wonderful franchises sell them to Retro Game who have better mind than you.

  • @TheGamemasterNP Yeah I would have liked it to have stayed the same with a different story. Would have been awesome with the graphics they had there. They could have had something.

  • i loved this games graphics i dont know why

  • Just got this game a few days back, Its fucking fun as not the same as the old games however i didnt expect it to be the same. -_- This game is underrated and your creativity is what makes the game fun. I think the real reason everyone hates it, is because we all remember the 'old school' games to be way better than they actually were because of our age. Stop comparing it to something you remember playing 5-10years ago guys :/

  • @OO7Lonestar Seems fun. But we never expected nor wanted a game focused on vehicles. Plus we wanted a whole new adventure... You can't even fall to your death. Never was there a fear of 'falling'.

    Plus, we don't get to play around with moves. (Although I wouldn't expect new moves to have been made, I'm sure that would have been hard)

    I tried the demo, and I just can't play it. I don't want to. I honestly don't care about the vehicle part.

  • Hey guys I need pepole to play online with. message me, Gamertag: looklook876

  • @WAZZATA i will when i get back

  • I think this game is really good , but people consider it bad because they compare it to the other Banjo-Kazooie games. It is a good videogame on its own.

  • Is this game worth picking up? Might pick up a 360 since they are pretty cheap and i grew up playing platformers.

  • Hit me up on xbox GT XxTR1CELLxX

  • Anybody wanna play xbox multiplayer message fore invite gt(XxTR1CELLxX)

  • The reviewer is nothing but a COD lover. Go play your COD... Oh and god has annoying menu sound effects to... Every option goes CLICK whenever you go over it... I rather play Nuts N Bolts in my humble opinion. Its more game than COD will ever be. Im not even a newb at COD I just think COD lacks originality and gameplay.

  • Hey My GT is Colonel McRib if u want to play Banjo hit me up :D

  • I'm sorry but i agree more with the GT review. The game is creative and looks great, but there is no platforming, the missions are shallow and short, there is WAY too much downtime, there is no platforming, the vehicle controls feel slippery, collecting and storing jiggies has become tedious, the magic wrench makes it difficult to lift things, and there is no platforming.

  • i have the old banjo and kazooie 1 and 2 in the N64 and i think the new one could of been just like the original 2 but it kind of intertan me just 2 hours and i got bored and that was just the demo

  • @SGX64 what the fuck the demo is limited do you think they make demos better then game or some think

  • banjo kazooie and tooie were my favourite games from that generation and i couldnt even play this piece of shit for more than an hour, this is a completely different game with banjo kazooie's face on it, i cant believe i waited 8 years for this shit

  • Oh Rare how Nintendo misses you

  • this wasnt even a Banjo Kazooie at all. Microsoft just "asked" rare to make it into a banjo kazooie game.

  • @damprumpan Really? That makes me feel a bit better about it then.

  • @sumo066 yesz, its all microsofts fault.

  • nintendo really dropped the ball.

    they coudlve had rare, they owned rare for 95% but didnt want to buy the rest of it so microsoft offered 400 million.

    dont bash microsoft for giving rare a great deal.

  • Please bring back Banjo Kazooie back to it's platforming roots! We just want the adventure :(

    Or a sequel to DK 64!

  • @mikethps Who is "We"? Another Rare DK game will never happen, and this game was amazing. And it has about as much "adventure" as the other games.

  • @Lazypackmule I think he means -Vehicles. Yeah. : P

  • @mikethps Or both!

  • 1980's rocked, 1990's rocked, 2000 sucked like shit, so will 2020. rest in peace. the next generation will kill gaming future, pc rules.

  • Very rare game, it's like mario 64. this game requires logic where ideas improve gaming experience.

  • I don't understand why people hate this game so much.

    Ok, it may not be what you expect, but that doesn't mean it's a bad game!

    Be open for new ideas and possibilities.

    Reusing the old is not always a good thing.

  • @Crashgek It seems to be a good game. Try to understand. It's just not what we wanted. We don't want vehicles. We want moves. Jumping. Platforms. A story that matches up with the past...

    Reusing the old can be a good thing. BK1 and BK2 were awesome, so it seems the formula worked. Very well. A third BK would be great. It's just when too many is made and it just gets repetitive... is the problem. (FF13 etc)

    Have you played the first two?

  • @sumo066 Of course I've played the first two. They we're awesome and as you said, had a great formula. That just doesn't make this game any less good.

  • @Crashgek they are just like religious lol

  • I miss the old banjo kazooie stylee ='(

  • Iv played and loved every banjo game, but this is just stupid... I bought the game expecting it to have some vehicles but more based around its classic game style. And i laughed when the creater said modern age gamers dont want to run around and play games like the old banjo. Fuck the modern age gamers? They're a bunch of 12 year olds that don't respect or appretiate classic games.

  • @YouScratchedMyAnchor fuck you then ,YOU FUCKING CUNT LOL see how you like it

  • Not a fan of the vehicle building thing, but it's not all bad, my biggest issue is that this game has really miniature text on some tvs like dead rising did so I can't read any of the text in the game without standing right in front of my tv

  • Rest In Peace 1990's games.

  • @Mashin3ry what about the 80s games

  • The vehicle-building aspect would have probably been better as a mini game within a platformer.

  • I just hate how they made the 3rd Banjo Kazooie Game into nothing, but the Gummi Ship Mini Game from Kingdom Hearts, There's a REASON why it's a MINI-GAME.

  • @XioXaio12 I never liked those mini games either hahaha. Good thing they were just mini games.

  • Rachet and clank is way better than this....just saying

  • sigh i wish nintendo would buy rare back

  • I remember playing Banjo Kazooie on my brothers Nintendo 64 when I was like 4.

    What have they made the fantastic game into?

  • This game could have easily left Banjo and Kazooie alone.It really has nothing to do with them,and I mean ya,the games fun,but did it really need banjo and kazooie?I don't think so,they should have made this game for some other character and made Banjo Threeie or something :P

  • 3:39 reminds me of the Banjo-Tooie advertisement commercial. For some reason.

  • And this is why microsoft sucks.  They ruin perfect games!

  • @janderson9413 I heard Rare had a completely different team working on this project, so you can't really blame Microsoft.

  • @NoNameC68 I'm just saying that if Nintendo made the next Banjo-Kazooie or Perfect Dark, they probably would've been amazing.

  • @janderson9413 Well, no. Rare made the game. It doesn't matter if Microsoft owned Rare or if Nintendo owned Rare. You could argue that the game would have been better if it was on the Wii, maybe, but you can't act like the quality would have necessarily been any different.

    The only thing Microsoft had to do with the game is that Microsoft owns Rare. That's it.

  • das spiel is echt gut nur es ist kein banjo kazooie es ist ein drive banjo kazooie ^^

  • I liked this game

  • Well done Nintendo for selling Rare at the right time...

  • i got this for my little bro he play on my xbox every day now lol

  • wow this game is so cool i want itttt :'( but i have no idea how to get the disc i got luck finding a xbox 360 in Serbia ...

  • I love the game idea and having one of my favourite video game heroes back in action BUT.... it´s on Xbox... I´m very dissapointed in that they sold out Banjo, not that nintendo would have delivered the same graphics it´s just a shame that he´s not nintendo only anymore...

  • my first videogame sieries i ever played just got raped right before my eyes 0_0

  • kazooie can't even fucking shit out grenades wtf i would rather kill myself then play this shit, my childhood has been ruined :0

  • ruined my childhood :(

  • eurogamer scores

    this=8/10

    original=5/10

    yeah original sucks balls and this is MASTERPIECE!

  • @CRASHISONLYGOODGAME

    Ew......

  • I wish this game was actually like the original n64 games(as old as they were ^^), those were the best. The soundtracks and levels were amazing, when u beat a level u felt like u did something worthwhile, u had so much fun accomplishing these levels , when u were young u didn't appreciate this game for what it was because of such resent games. But no games as good as this just dont exist sadly :'( i am not knocking cod its epic! just where is Banjo Kazooie 3? btw haha. thumbs up if u agree

  • Comment removed

  • They should make banjo and kazooie nuts and bolts: return of epicness

  • man they really fucked banjo-kazooie up after nintendo no longer has rights to it. banjo-kazooie on N64 & the second banjo-kazooie game also on N64 was better than this

  • @TheSabsac1 i know but nintendo gave there rights of banjo and kazzoie to the xbox360 which really sucks man banjo kazzoie and banjo tooie rockssss but when i seen this video i thought it was going to be in better graphics which it is but they freaking change everything and it sucks man that is nothing like the real banjo kazzoie i was hoping nintondo would made a 3rd game but they didnt but they should of

    thumbs up if you argree man the game isnt the same no more

  • GO TO HELL NINTENDO, banjo and conker ? what a hell ? what did Microsoft do to you ? = / the world of game is very crazy... Don't sell ZELDA plx rsrsrs >.< if you sell Zelda you go down to die.

  • me:awsome new banjo kazooie game its gunna be awsom

    *nuts and bolts arive*

    me:ok looks good

    *pop in the disc and start*

    me:what the fuck is this shit this isnt fucking rare fucking microsoft

  • this should belong to nintendo

  • I remember the end of the XBLA version of Banjo-Kazooie...

    Mumbo: "Banjo-Kazooie Nuts and Bolts make Banjo-Kazooie look like joke."

    The irony is stunning.

  • I agree that i would love another banjo kazooie old school "platformer", but this game isnt nearly as bad as people claim it to be. Though, i agree that the missions tend to get rather boring. its a good game overall, and people who are considering giving this game a try should definately do so.

  • If u want to play this game with me send friend friend request gamertag: tek4evar

  • vehicles?! why dont u fly kazooie?! where its the throwing egg features?!?! where is the old-style fighting?!?! this.... is.... yeah... the graphics and sound might be great..... but im dissapointed... this doesnt look much like banjo-kazooie....

  • I think this would have been a better game if it wasn't banjo-kazooie. I actually think this game is really good however i haven't played the other banjo-kazooie games so i don't know what to expect.

  • This game is awesome... I don't see why people hate this game...

  • I hate how this game got the "super paper Mario" treatment. It got bashed by reviewers and consumers just because it was different from the other games. It's a good game though, and people just can't get pass the fact that they tried to change the formula. If you haven't played this game, and you consider yourself creative, you will have a blast building vehicles.

  • @UltimateReviews1 Well I tried it, and I just am slightly disgusted by it. It was very different from the past games. This was not BK3. Just BK nuts and bolts. We wanted a continuation of the fighting style (the moves you had to learn), the platform adventure (jumping around); [Keep in mind you can't even fall to your death]... The characters don't really do what they always have done.

    Grunty was the antagonist in the last two games, but here.. is she?

    It seems good, but I don't want vehicles

  • I... I'm 13... Im not a big fan of the series... Mainly because I never played this game... But I feel sorry to those who didn't get their banjo threeie... I played the demo of first game on xbox 360 and liked it... Jesus christ, microsoft... They bought rare but don't use them right... Atleast give the damn bird an important role like making the car fly...

  • I personally thought this game was genius. First of its kind, and really enjoyable. Yes, its not the sequel we all wanted for BK, but it was a good game. If it had been the same game, but not BK themed, people probably wouldnt be hating on it so much.

  • please rare come back to nintendo

    we miss games like DK64 conker and of course banjo kazooie & tooie

  • @chunky128 I agree. Banjo Kazooie and even Banjo Tooie were amazing games that were always fun to play. They hold a special place in my childhood. The union of Rare and Nintendo created many classic games. But now Microsoft has officially killed Banjo Kazooie with this trash. Rare needs to split from Microsoft and go back to Nintendo.

  • You can't die!?! What kind of fucked-up game is this!??!

  • graphics dont make the game fun this goes to show how much gameplay matters n64 ftw those were the days.

  • i didnt like the game, but Making the Vehicle was kinda Fun.

  • if u cant make a good banjo game then make a banjo kazzoie and tooie remake with great graphics and a constant frame rate without screen tearing

  • calm down its a game , how can you be so furiouse with a game , people these days have issues man

  • @supersaiyanginger indeed. video games are just games after all, and its much easier to be calm then angry.

  • @jacobs0469 you right but halo is not a game but story, mass effect is not a but a story.dragon age is not a game but a story and so on......oh and skyrim is not a game but a fucking long story

  • i don't think this is a good review at all. i can make a better one in less than 400 characters. Nuts and bolt IS NOTHING LIKE THE PREVIOUS 2. it can be considered a completely different game just with stolen characters. you'll spend hours creating machines and then cry when they don't work. everyone in this game is dressed like a farmer and the last boss battle is not satisfying at all. kazooie also serves almost no purpose in this game. :/

  • THUMBS UP IF THIS SHOULD HAVE BEEN A PLATFORMER

  • is this game also for playstation 3?

  • @darkstar32526 Fuck no.

  • @Cloaytonem2 :(

  • I want a conker game

  • I hate how people talk as if Microsoft influenced Rare's decision to make Nuts & Bolts vehicle-based.

    It's not like with Spyro, where Insomniac, the creators of the first three games, left the production team COMPLETELY and we Spyro fans got stuck with glitchy, dark, and pretty stupid Spyro games.

  • why cant we just have the banjo we loved? =[

  • Microsoft failed to make a good Banjo n Kazooie game nows its Nintendo's turn, make us proud nintendo make Banjo Kazooie 3 that is worth buying

  • By sounding like Sonic fans, damn word limits.

  • Dude, FUCK this game. In my opinion, Banjo-Threeie has yet to come out. Suck my DICK Microsoft.

  • @athleteization

    Microsoft has nothing to do with the game looks now. It was Rare that decided to make it like that, and it also returned Banjo to his roots --- Diddy Kong Racing. It merely wasn't a plataformer, but that didn't make the game bad. Comparing a plataformer to a racing game is the same thing as comparing a Turn Based RPG with a First Person Shooter.

    The game wasn't bad. It was cool. But it just wasn't as incredible Banjo & Kazooie and Tooie. You guys are ruining Banjo's name.

  • @IlikeWafflesrs Really?... Well, I loved Diddy Kong Racing... ;-; But, this wasn't close to DK racing. Even so, we were expecting a platformer, in 3D. We were hyped for that. We weren't expecting Racing. Plus, I'm sure we WOULD have wanted DK racing too, but not like that. The races, the silly coin challenges, the balloons. Those are what we would have wanted in that.

    Anyways, it seems fun, but it wasn't what we wanted. I also can't care less about vehicles. Or building them.

  • @sumo066 what are you on banjo is less of a platform game but more of a advencher game and this is a platform game platform-racing-2

  • @sumo066 Banjo-Kazooie is a platform and action-adventure video game from wiki

  • where is written thats all banjo games have to be jump'n'run, as long it has the same charm its still an banjo kazooie game.

    i like that build vehicles. and its better than the gba part.

  • This game bombed for a reason. It barely sold 100,000 copies.

  • @SuperMario911 I can believe that.

  • @SuperMario911 The game hit "Platinum Hits" status which means it sold at least 400,000 within it's first nine months of release. I for one think it's an awesome ambitious take on the series. We were lucky to get another console title with BK at all.

  • rare is now doing kinect shit...otherwise they may have done a jumpnrun for xbox after nutsnbolts

  • This was an amazing game, it's just not a platformer, for fucks sake, can't Rare do something different and fun? I have never had any technical issues like they mentioned(I've put in a hundred or more hours), and unless you're a complete idiot, you will realize you don't have to start from scratch when you mess up your design(he made it sound like you had to start over again when you tip over on a new design), normally it's just move this wheel one square over, and voila.

  • @MontajBlaze Sure. They just did. Now we'd like a platformer. : D

  • @sumo066 I agree with that, I'd like to see them make a platformer one now :D. I wouldn't mind if they made a separate series with these mechanics(they worked quite nicely), but we're all itching to see a new platformer, and in a world where their prospects are getting dim(almost no platformers around), it'd be interesting to see how they pull it off.

  • R.I.P. Banjo Kazooie, what was once an epic series is now garbage :'(

  • Amazing idea.

    Just not for Banjo-Kazooie

  • @sammassallama Couldn't have said it any better.

  • @sammassallama true

  • i gotta say the game may suck but the level design looks awesome!!!!!!

  • Rare.. go back to Nintendo.. your golden age.

  • If they ever make a banjo Threeie (there not)

  • you know, you really should try this game before you knock it.. I am a huge fan of BK and played the first two games thoroughly.. And while this game is VERY different, it is very rewarding if you put the time in to learn how to play it and open your mind to a different experience.. first and foremost, the game is BEAUTIFUL, one of the nicest looking games on Xbox360 in my opinion. The music is AWESOME, and if you open your mind to the experience this game has to offer, you will enjoy it.

  • @Csykes290 Omg yes, gorgeous game, both visually, and musically. I got the soundtrack on my computer and listen to it all the time. the orchestra that plays it reminds me of 90's childrens movies that I grew up on, but the actual tunes are that good old Banjo-Kazooie feel(as a matter of fact, there's one whole level that's a Banjo Museum, at 0:25, and plays a fully orchestrated version of the old tracks). I like the Alien level's track, that odd "alien humming" is just so weird and fits right in

  • Is there any actual combat without frickin vehiecles

  • @TryThisiMofo I can't even double jump with Kazooie... where's the nostalgic "freeeeeeee"

  • EEHH, whhyy this game sucks SO BAD!! Im still waiting for Banjo Threeie on a Nintendo console!! Fxk Microsoft!!

  • @OnThatPowder Seriouse? This is awsome!

  • an engineer's dream

  • The game isn't bad.. Far from it. It's actually a good bit of fun...

    It just doesn't feel like Banjo Kazooie.

    Most of the platforming elements are gone and You lost almost ALL of your move from the games. Instead you get a rather silly looking wrench.

    It's an okay game, and the humor is still there, and a lot of characters from the cast are back which is great...

    But it's just not a Banjo kazooie game.

  • @XarynLucifer Exactly. For example, we can't even double jump with Kazooie anymore. For some reason, doing that brought back some memories.

    Also, the story isn't consistent. Grunty isn't even the antagonist anymore... it's just weird. And we aren't in spiral mountain... ;-;

    Of course, I don't mind if they make the game on Xbox, just not like this.

  • Why's Banjo's nose square?

    And where did their awesome skills/moves go, they had learnt throughout both the two masterpieces they'd previously starred in?

    It just seems like a completely different game for another franchise which at the last minute had Banjo-Kazooie characters dropped into it.
