I really enjoy the Ratchet and Clank series. This seems awfully similar with the cohort on the protagonist's back. Which came first R&C or BK?
I only saw Tomb Raider last night. With all these games i bearly have enough time to play the COD beta let alone these two.
Just played the demo and I have to say that my expectations were absolutely met. Of course my expectations were, that the controls for the vehicles would be incredibly unprecise and that the whole idea of vehicular platfroming would die of that point alone. I'm sort of sad to say that if someone hoped to find a platforming title that rivaled Super Mario Galaxy in it's excellence, I'm not seeing it in this demo.
And now I will go back to play Farcry 2.

WHAT A HORRIBLE DEMO...
...to download this early in the morning. Perhaps I will wait until five o'clock.
Yes, perhaps I shall.
OHO!

I played it. seems cool. I guess its what I was expecting. Definitely something that needs more time to experience than the 5 minutes I got in with the demo.
Well from the sound of it, the demo(maybe game) sucks. Not unusual. The only good Rare games are DKC 2, Conker, Banjo Tooie, & Jet Force Gemini. I dunno, the full game might be different and I'll try it for myself.
I'm not totally convinced to call this the Banjo-Threeie that most of all were waiting. I'm at work, but tonight I'll download the demo and will check it out, posting my impressions later on.
I suppose there might have been some things good about it.
If I had been able to read any of the tiny tiny tiny tiny tiny tiny text on my perfectly decent sized SD TV. It is not so small this should be an issue; only Dead Rising was anything like as inscrutable. And the tiny text is in massive boxes, with tons of empty space. Adding insult to injury.
What's left if you can't read it? A wacky racing game with horrific controls.
Canceling preorder.

All this demo made me want to do was play the original games. I had hopes for this game, but the demo was everything I didn't want this game to be.
If they wanted to make another driving game they shoulda stuck with Diddy Kong racing style, don't try and mash the two genres together..
That said. I might gamefly it, after I'm done with all the other stuff I'll play in the next two months or so.

I had high hopes for this game. And then rare shot them down. If i had gamefly, I wouldn't even gamefly it.
Seriouly, guys, I don't know what you were expecting. I mean, there's this one dude a few comments above that said the vehicle controls sucked. To that, I say: YOU suck at driving, sir. The controls are absolutely fine (which is not to say they're easy) and the game is utterly fantastic.
The writing, OMG, the writing it's amazing. Rare is truly a gem of creativity. They have the best writers. Mumbo-Jumbo, Kazooie and LOG spit great lines nonstop. Any fan of the previous B-K games will be delighted with the inside jokes, and even the newbies will be entertained with the quirky, over-the-top story of a Lord of The Games who has a TV displaying Pong for a head and pits you against a mechanical witch.
The level of detail on the first game world (the only present in the demo) is staggering. And everything is interactive, not like, well, GEARS OF WAR, where you see a wooden door and can't damage it even with the more badass weapon because it's a piece of scenery. I played the Tomb Raider demo after playing Nuts & Bolts and it looked like SHIT in comparison. BKNB is the prettiest game on Xbox 360, no contest.
And the gameplay is solid action-platformer with a pint of strategy and creativity on the building of the vehicles to overcome the challenges. The game provides vehicles that can complete the objectives, but you are always left thinking "what type of vehicle could I build to score even more in this challenge?".
You guys can't see a fine damn game if it has no boobs, no guns and no explosions.
Which is fine. Gears 2 is right around the corner. Go play it and stop talking about stuff you can't appreciate.
