Brad, all you had to write was that this game features a cameo from a Lickatoad. Instant Purchase.

It's always the same with GiantBomb. Just when I thought that I could actually be fine without having played Dead Space, they came along and rated it with 5 stars. I purchased it. Just when I thought: "No, I really don't need a 360, after all even the new Banjo game doesn't seem to be that great" they come along and give it ... wait for it ... 5 stars once more. So: What am I supposed to do now? The video review is great, it sounds like a game I would like, but: I would have to buy a 360 first.

But: I can't. Or can I? Oh, you guys are so ... evil.

I'm getting a desire to bust out my lego sets just by watching this.

Hey, Brad!  Can you rotate pieces?  I thought in the old hands-on you couldn't rotate them, and in the impression I get from the videos you can't either, but you just said rotate.  It'd be nice to know if that were possible, to get an idea of how flexible the engine is.

Here in the UK the game is still Full price... It would be a purchase for me at $40 (£20 here) but it's only dropped £5 ($10) from the RRP... most shops sell it at £39.99 ($80) with the RRP at £44.99 instead of the usual £49.99 ($100). But considering that no where actually has sold games at their RRP since the PS3 came out... the £5 reduction is not only pointless but a rip-off as well. It's still being sold at the same price as Gears, Resistance, LBP and the like. And it doesn't look to be worth that amount....

What the hell is with everybody posting "Geat review!" and "Awesome review! I'm a member of the worlds largest licky-licky brown-nose club!". . . It's strangely annoying, this website is very good, but its users. . .  are not.

I just want top say, awesome review Brad!!!! I'm serious, this really changed my life. . . I was on the fence with this game, but now I'm going to go out and buy it! To be honest, I'd do anything you tell me to do Bradly. . . I love you, more than all the other users of this site.

Big kiss man.

It's tough to make a case for this game with so many huge games out right now.  Little Big Planet is just sitting in my cabinet due to Wrath of the Lich King.  I also wouldn't have finished Gears 2 for a while if it hadn't been for Bronchitis.  I know I should support Rare, but even at $40, I'm waiting for the true bargin bin.

 I'm with Vitor on this. Here in the U.K the game is full price and guess what - Microsoft went against their usual publishing policy and made this game region locked so we can't import either. They really wanted to screw us over which is a shame. It means so far the game has bombed here - and normally I wouldn't like to see that happen. But in this case, it serves them damned well right.

 It's a pity the Giantbomb guys can't pull Microsoft up over this and ask them why they feel Europe should be paying twice the price for the same game. Brad has this infectious quaility about his reviews that makes you want to buy games I normally wouldn't be interested in, Viva 2 being the last. But no way I'm being gipped.

I_am_Lono, being a douche isn't completely necessary.

This is the comment box for the video review. Therefore it would make sense for people to comment on the video review itself. Many people would just like to show appreciation for the effort that went into making the video, and reflect on how the video made them see the game.

If you were looking for just general ramblings about the game itself may i suggest Giant bomb's Banjo-Kazooie: Nuts & Bolts Forum at http://www.giantbomb.com/banjo-kazooie-nuts-bolts/61-20586/forums/

I'll probably check this one out next year. There are tons of games from this year I still haven't played and this one is quite low on the list. Looks cool though, and the price tag is very nice.
