It's funny... right now there are 7 games which I have and could be playing / haven't completed yet. None of them are even getting a look in because I'm having far too much fun playing Banjo.KevinCow said:

Switch is on top of the houses. There's a drain pipe on one of the buildings and a few tightropes to cross. Keep your eyes peeled for a hidden jiggy machine too.Sean said:

That's very odd... it's working perfectly for me.Wizpig said:

there's no real 'defragment' option.
in cases like this, the closest thing you can do is delete all of the downloaded stuff you don't need, install the game, and then redownload :\ if you've paid for it, you can redownload it pretty easily, but it's a pain in the ass.

Could always buy a temp 360 and then return it once the other one comes back.

Leaderboards are useless on a lot of these challenges because it seems there's a lot of physics exploiting going on.

I've only run into one physics glitch. I was driving around Nutty Acres when I hit a bump and my vehicle went flying from a collision glitch :lol It's how I got the Whoa Nelly! achievement for going over a certain speed.

You see, I don't think that's really true. Most of the leaders I saw used wisely the game mechanics to their advantage (in a race, for example, moving the vehicle on the grid to get a headstart, or the nut challenge when he brought the nut thing into the field).
I also love the option to save the blueprint the guy used, though it's not always available for whatever reason.
Here's a question or two:
Don't the parts seem rather limited? I have a lot of vehicles I want to make but I don't because I don't want to use too many parts. Engines are exceptionally low in quantity. Since I have three right now, does that mean I can only make three vehicles? Or does that mean I can only put three engines on per vehicle?
Also, what happens when I'm so low on parts, and I need some to make a vehicle? I don't want to delete any blueprints I've made. Am I doing something wrong here?

Depends how you define using game mechanics wisely. A good example was the free wheeling challenge where all of the top people basically go round and round in a circle or bounce between two points forever because the physics isn't working properly.Littleberu said:
I was more interested in seeing what vehicle designs people had come up with.
You can use all your parts on one vehicle, and then use all your parts on another vehicle.Pyrokai said:
Think of it like the garage is completely dismantling one vehicle before using the parts in another one for you to use.

Aussie GAFfers, this game is only $59 at JB Hifi. And most stores should give you the Banjo Kazooie XBLA code for free without a pre-order. Well, Elizabeth St in Melbourne does anyway.
Going to get started on this game soon. Loved the demo.

Like a lot of other people in this thread, I love this game. Once you have a decent amount of parts the vehicle building becomes really addictive. I've also just found my first jet engine

199/200 notes on Logbox. Anyone recall seeing a single note anywhere?All I'm missing now is that one note in Logbox and about 15 in Terrarium. I got all 900 in Showdown Town and got an achievement.

I have 10 missing in Nutty Acres and it feels like I've covered the entire thing. What's annoying is that it could be a bunch of notes or one single gold one that I missed. =/BobFromPikeCreek said:

Wizpig said:
I have the same problem, but it's not just the audio. It's like it loses connection to the HDD sometimes.
This means that either the music stops playing for a while or that loading takes much longer than it should. The game itself is not affected by it, only stuff that needs to be loaded from the HDD.
I installed a ton of games on my 120 gb HDD when I got in the NXE preview program and N&B was one of the last of them, but I don't really want to delete and re-install everything just to make it work.

Fly highh. I think there's around 10 notes on top of the GIANT cog at the top of the level that makes the clouds spin around.

That's around the concrete pillar yeah? I'm starting to suspect that it's a single gold somewhere as I originally feared.

Wow... Just got the game finally today... I have no clue why people are hating on this. The demo wasn't that great, but the first two hours have been so much fun. Intro alone had me smiling quite a bit. The controls are better than the demo, and the game just feels better overall. There are a few issues like graphical slowdown here and there, but other than that, probably my second favorite 360 game this year.

My god. I have brand spankin' new copies of L4D and Mirror's Edge, yet I just come back to this game. Ridiculously in love with this. :lol
For those who need help with the "protecting the robot's eyes" jiggy; get the eff out of your vehicle and use Banjo's strength. I just got out of my vehicle and started smacking them left and right. Ended up with the jiggy AND a TT Trophy.

I just made a vehicle with a shitload of ammo, guns pointing in every direction and spikes around the vehicle, and drove around mashing buttons and managed to complete it. :lolDomino Theory said:My god.

This game is amazing, I don't have it in me to post indepth impressions at the moment, but I'm loving the design and I sincerely hope we get a Nuts & Bolts 2. Banjo Kazooie/Tooie were fun games, but this game is something else. Rare need to not worry about the obsessive fans of old and continue their new stuff. After N&B and VP Rare have officially redeemed themselves in my book. So, a big thanks to everyone at Rare (your art team outdid themselves, the engine you made works so well that I never actually stopped and thought about it and it looks gorgeous to boot, and the soundtrack is outstanding)!
It's so great that in a season full of masterful refinements of old gameplay models (Gears 2, Fable 2, Dead Space, Fallout 3) that we are getting so much unique stuff to balance (Nuts & Bolts, Mirror's Edge, Left 4 Dead, LittleBigPlanet). It's a brilliant time to be someone who loves playing video games.
EDIT: Brad's review over at Giant Bomb pretty much sums up how I feel about the game.

Did you
Fly to the big gear on top of the world? I know there is a silver and a few bronze up there and I would guess 10 notes in total

Any tips for TTing the mission "Unhappy Landings" in the first act of the Jiggoseum? I've tryed repeatedly for a while now and just can't get it.

Finally got on the top 10 of a leaderboard... and it was pure luck. I literally just moved into the right place at the start and fired off dual laser cannons. :lol
It's the final act of ToT.

Havent bought Banjo yet. Been playing xbla Banjo that i got for free, and its still as fun as it was on N64.
Too many games to buy and not enough time/money to buy them all. But so far, the one i am the most hyped for is Banjo, unlike some people, i actually liked the demo to some extend, so i guess i will really enjoy the full game :lol
