    half the time i'm playing this i feel like i have yoda on my back telling me what to do and get no rewards for doing it. 

    dude so many people got offended by this. 

    its a cool idea, wrapped in awesome graphics, with very well written dialogue, but the gameplay starts to blow ass after five minutes. nothing but boring missions nonsense missions and crappy vehicle control (thats the whole game btw). the missions are so lame dude.

    Hmmm... because of the colour of your username I expect this not to end well.

    Perhaps you could be more specific about what you don't like to further a discussion and not a flame war?

    Do you expect the xbox to spit out a cookie for you? The game is immensely fun to play, that is your reward.

    Give it a few jiggies till you get some decent parts and then, like me, you'll probably find it tolerable.

    Maybe you should just go upload some more pictures of Solid Snake. I could rattle out 10 reasons why the Metal Gear series sucks, and those games are pretty good. Reasons buddy.

    I get so tired of hearing that a game is "overrated" just because one particular person doesn't like it.

    Its, and its not. Its has some cool things, and as they said in the review, for the price tag, its more than a deal, but I was never a fan of Banjo. At least it retains the atmosphere, but I will just wait to see how Banjo 3 (threeie or whatever) comes out, as this is just an spin off.

    The game is nothing like the first two in the series, but the game as a whole is entertaining and engaging with the whole building of vehicles from scratch.

    The game resembles the first two in the series more than you'd think, and that's especially visible when playing the original Arcade re-release back to back with the full game.

    Overrated? Not at all. Severely underrated by most media outlets. This game is the steal of the year- more content than any two average 60-dollar games combined for only 40 bones? And one of the best games of the year to boot? Blazing.

    at first i found the game disappointing but once you get the hang of what "its about" then it is really fun. i thought that the whole building vehicles would prove daunting but it is fairly simple.

    i like the color blue thats why i picked it, i have a 360 elite dude, how else do you think i played this game. 
    i just think its a bunch of crappy mini games kept together by a pretty cool vehicle creation tool ala spore (another seriously crappy game) and thats lame. 
    and its so non-rewarding too. like if they gave you parts or some kind of currency for doing many of the nonsense missions like when a dude tells you just to carry something to a location for seemingly no reason, then it would be way better. just my opinion. this game doesn't even touch ratchet and clank or super mario galaxy. i can't believe people are giving 100s, 10s, and 5/5 like GB. crazy talk.

    I have to agree, kind of. At first, I hated the game, then I loved it and now i'm back to hating it. The more tricky tasks require me to spend a long while creating a vehicle only to end up using it for a challenge that takes me roughly 3 minutes. There's a nice concept hidden in the beautiful world, but it's covered in too much boring shit. N&B 2, if there is one, should hopefully fix all that and make it feel like my hard work isn't being wasted.

    This game is awesome.  Like I said in a very BAD thread on my part, I feel dirty playing this, but it is so amazing.

    That's pretty much my point. Everything about this game is amazing, besides the game itself.
