We woke up this morning and thought, "Wouldn't it be nice if we could build some kind of flying car?" As though they read our minds, Microsoft has released a demo for
Banjo Kazooie: Nuts & Bolts on the Xbox Live Marketplace. Clocking in at a hefty 1.07GB the demo allows gamers to play with the unique vehicle creation system that is the basis for many of the challenges in the upcoming platformer. Looking to flex your creative muscle? Hit the Marketplace and download the demo now.
Banjo Kazooie: Nuts & Bolts ships on November 11, exclusively on the Xbox 360.

I woke up thinking "Wouldn't it be nice if my Fallout 3 copy had been sent?" sadly, i was in the same boat as you. On the bright side, this and Tomb Raider Underworld are fantastic demos.

I seriously will never get the whole, "better go bash another platform's library" thing.
Some people like Xbox and some like the PS3. Many like both.
Deal.

Wow...I agree with Xav...why waste your time man? Banjo looks great, but will it be as good as it looks? Idk, but I'll know tomorrow night when I can play the demo. Considering you build ships and fly/race vs. what I was actually expecting I really don't know if it will be that great, but I have heard good things about this though and will keep an open mind....

For the record, I HIGHLY doubt this is the "Xbox 360 answer to LBP" (Little Big Planet for the lazy ass PS3 fanboy) as this is a RARE game (remember a company called Nintendo??) through and through. It is not only a good game for the Xbox 360 but it is a VERY WELCOME sign to see Rare back (I have to admit that I liked Kameo but NOT Perfect Dark Zero).
And I gotta tell ya buddy, I, for one, am NOT jumping on the Little Big Planet bandwagon like most game "critics" simply because while I think it's a great game, it's not for ME. "Innovative"... "moves the industry forward"... f**k that, just give me F-U-N, that's ALL I want from my VIDEO GAMES (or, interactive entertainment!!!, NOW your playing WITH POWER!)

I woke up this morning and thought, " Wouldn't it be nice to have a scantily clad Lara Croft driving a flying car?" Alas, it hasn't happened yet!

Ya, I'm doing the same thing as Joeybeast. I'm going to try it out today, and possibly pre order it. Is the pre order deal still valid? The one where you get the N64 original Banjo Kazooie for free?

I'm probably just retarded. Who knows if this comment will even show up as a reply or not...

This is awesome! I loved the original game... but the video's of the new game don't impress me (well... except graphically). I'm excited to try this out on my new TV!

Hmm... if you were not such a Sony fanboy you would know that Banjo has been around since the N64 days... So I assume, according to you, LBP is the answer to Banjo???

What do both titles have in common? Cute characters? But there are cute characters on other games, too though, right? It depends on what side of the fence you are on and if you happen to be on 360 then yes LBP is "the answer" to Banjo, vice versa for the PS3.
Honestly, a much much better example would be Resistance 2 & GoW 2.....those are both directly against each other....hints their release dates.....
