14 DAY TRIAL // Usually, whenever a sequel is announced we are not really excited since we're always pro new, original IPs. But every now and then a sequel is quite welcomed and that's also the case with Microsoft's Banjo-Kazooie franchise. Yes, as reported before, the beloved franchise will be revived by the giant as an Xbox 360 exclusive and it is set to hit the game stands during this holiday season.
This means that the famous bear and bird duo will be back once again to entertain us in a quest meant save all the games ever created. The Lord of the Games gets tired of the squabbling between Banjo and Gruntilda and starts a competition to decide who's the rightful owner of Spiral Mountain. It's pretty obvious that you will help Banjo win the competition and defeat the evil witch.
One of the parts that will be quite appreciated by gamers worldwide will be the vehicle building one. Banjo will find all sorts of vehicle parts along the way, he will collect them and then allow you to create vehicles as you see fit, exactly as you imagine them. This means that, even though the goals set by LOG can't be changed, it will be up to you to decide how you will accomplish them.
Together with the very fun customizable vehicle option, Banjo-Kazooie: Nuts & Bolts also comes with a set of pre-built vehicles for those who lack imagination or just want to skip the whole building part. Also, a multiplayer mode will be available and, even more, all sorts of user created vehicles will be available for you to try via the Xbox Live feature. And, just as the other games, the new Banjo-Kazooie title will be enjoyed by both young and older players - be they fans of the franchise or newcomers. Thanks, Microsoft! We really love it when things start moving in the right direction.
