Item Description

Banjo has let himself go. Years after Banjo-Tooie, the honey bear has a belly, Kazooie has plenty to say about it, and Gruntilda has been reduced to a bickering, bodiless skull. Into this sorry scene steps L.O.G., the Lord of Games, a fourth-wall-nudging deity who claims to have made every video game there is and decides the duo's old collect-everything adventures are out of date. His solution is a contest for Spiral Mountain, and Rare's Banjo-Kazooie: Nuts & Bolts takes that joke seriously, swapping new platforming moves for an entire garage full of parts.

Building is the heart of it. At Mumbo's Motors you bolt together cars, boats, planes and far stranger machines from a big catalog of blocks, engines, wheels, wings, propellers, weapons and gadgets, while Kazooie wields a wrench that can grab, carry and rearrange objects out in the world. Each world hands out Jiggies for challenges such as races, deliveries, battles and physics puzzles, and almost all of them can be solved more than one way. Build a sleek racer to win cleanly, or build a hovering monstrosity that simply floats over the obstacles; the game mostly lets you.

The worlds are some of Rare's most playful. Nutty Acres is a sunny farm stuffed with oversized vegetables, Logbox 720 takes place inside a giant parody game console, and Banjoland is a museum of the series' own history, built from relics of Banjo-Kazooie and Banjo-Tooie. Showdown Town ties everything together as a hub, and the writing pokes fun at Rare, sequels and the games industry with the self-aware humor the series has always had. The music, led by Grant Kirkhope, reworks classic Banjo themes alongside new ones and is a highlight from start to finish.

Nuts & Bolts was not the third platformer fans had been waiting for, and that disappointment shaped its reputation for years. Judged as what it is, though, it is a clever sandbox built on a remarkably flexible vehicle editor, and plenty of players who wrote it off have since come back to find a lot to love. It is also the last full Banjo-Kazooie adventure to date and the bear and bird's only original outing on the Xbox 360, which makes it a strange and fascinating chapter of Rare's history to own.
