This is a topic to help encourage your friends to purchase Banjo Kazooie:  Nuts & Bolts, still on sale today at Amazon.com for $26.  If you have not yet joined the cause, please help us to help Rare get more people to purchase this great title!

Let's start with a brief summary of what this misunderstood game is and is not.  Add your own experiences below!

What this game IS NOT:

• This is NOT a platformer game!  The only ties this game has are it's characters and universe.

• This game allows you to build vehicles of any sort and type, with up to 200 components per vehicle.  Save and share your blueprints with friends or race them online against others.
• This game gives you many free form missions, where it is up to you to build the most efficient vehicle for the game.
• Vehicles can be cars, trucks, boats, hovercraft, submarines, helicopters, planes or any combination of the above.

Now for a thread that would help encourage Microsoft to lower the price of the game here to match the U.S. version....

I actually would buy the game, but considering that in the past 2 months, I bought...

Fallout 3
Endwar
Castlevania: SotN
Portal: Still alive

I can justify another video game purchase.  The game could be 5 bucks and my wife would still give me hell about getting another game.

I have yet to buy it but I should.

I haven't bought it yet even though I'm really interested in it.  However, I did lobby very hard for my friend to buy it, which he did.  He loved it.

Edit:  Wolverine, why are you bumping a bunch of old ass threads anyways?

all of my friends make fun of me for playing this game. my friends are all closed-minded douchebags, sorry dude.

I'll give this a bump just to emphasize that BK Nuts & Bolts is awesome.  It's back up to $36.99 now, but it's well worth that price.  It's like playing with Legos, but they actually do something when you're done with them.  The BK universe tie-in is actually quite irrelevant.

I tried, I really tried. This game was just not for me.

I could just give my friends a box of LEGO and they'd have a more fun experience.

I'd call this game a platformer if anything.
Like what is it?  It really doesn't fit well into any genre.  So by default I place it in what type of game it feels like, a platformer (plus there's platforming in showdown town).

It's certainly not a racing game, lulz'

I've been wanting to play it for some time now but the list of games I'm playing right now is so big...

I picked this game up off Amazon for $19.99 a few days ago.  Hopefully it arrives soon.

I will play it eventually, but have to complete Resident Evil 5 first.

This game is $29.99 at Gamestop.. I bought it last week and have loved every minute of it! If you haven't tried it yet be sure to!

This game is awesome, it's a shame so many people didn't give it a chance. The demo was pretty horrid but the actual game was/is amazing.

Please don't mention this game. I ordered it from Play Asia in January.

Divorce her.  That's how good Banjo is. "

Last month it was on sale on amazon.com for $19.99 (or maybe it was $17.99... unless that was Trouble in Paradise?). 

Anyway, that's when I bought both of these awesome games!
