After Brad's 5 star review, the praise it's gotten on the bombcast for like the past 4 weeks and also the praise it got on NeoGAF. I went and picked up.

At first I thought it was great. Fat Banjo at the start, the line of items to collect, Grunty calling the Lord of Games, "Queer", the completely self-awareness that it's a game. It was pretty cool and had a nice charm about it. The graphics are also really nice and I liked how everything is huge.

However, when I got into the first world it took a dive. The missions are so boring! It's just racing and collecting. God, can't there be anything else? The building vehicles is decent but after 30 minutes making something just to find out it sucks for what you want it to do is kind of a bummer. I also started to really hate the music after listening to it for 30 minutes straight.

I was hoping for a change by LogBox 720 but sadly, it was still the same type of missions of running to point A, B and C and returning or racing.

I thought it was stupid people complaining about the lack of platforming but I'm starting to really wish that it had some in it.

I'll keep playing it for now but, man, after the 5 star's here and the massive praise on forums, I was expecting more than this. at least gameplay wise anyway.

I think I have to side with GameTrailers on this one when they gave it 6.7.
