i tried playing this game, but couldnt get past the part where it mocked all the item collection and platforming in the first 5 minutes, basically saying that banjo kazooie and bajo tooie were crap, and i put down the controller, took out the disk, and never touched it again. thankfully, it was my roommates. Great way to start a game Rare, mock what made those games some of the best platformers on the N64

Giantbombs quote was so right, I loved this game! Really need to go back to it and get the 1000 points.

That was a great build - I love how it actually flew and worked like a Recognizer, too.  When I first saw it, I didn't expect it to move properly.

This looks like a great game. Like the Lego racer games, except the changes you make on the vehicles have an actual effect on the performance.

This TNT actually makes me sad as when I bought Nuts & Bolts, I haven't been able to find anyone online. It's annoying me as the multiplayer looks effin' crazy.

Good TNT! I really laughed at the car Brad was given when the race loaded up at around 56:30. Especially when Brad was instantly being knocked over and Ryan came out with the "... this is what they suggested for your maneuverability on rough terrain" line. Great work again, guys. :D

I'm glad they've stopped playing first person shooters, they start to repeat themselves.

Brad's shield generator car is possibly one of the worst vehicles I've ever seen. It's like something out of 1970s Detroit!

I forgot how great this game was. I played it sooooooooo much. Missions weren't great, but the vehicle building and charm made up for it.

The best was when that guy rammed into Brad at the second race, completely screwing him over in the process.

@jaytee00: the difference is that when you want to go back to a single player game, you can. When you want to go back to an online community, it's usually gone or severely cut down.

All this vehicle building would be great in a racer-shooter like Twisted Metal.

This really looks like a fantastic game. If I had an Xbox I would download it right now.

It's such a shame that it didn't do as well as it should have. I think tying Banjo & Kazooie to it was a mistake; this is a great enough idea to be it's own IP without relying on nostalgia (which created the backlash). Though I will admit that some of that music really struck home.

At 1:22:40 is when they mentioned my tip that the gyroscope is one of the most awesome things in the game.
