So I hated the demo of this game. Stupid huge worlds, stupid vehicles, and lack of platforming.
Then I decided to buy the game, and at the same time remove my Banjo-nostalgia goggles.
Hoooly shit. The demo does not do this game justice at all. Like everyone else has said, I have so many other AAA (lol) games I could be playing right now but this baby keeps sucking me in. Seeing my own freaking vehicles in action is fucking awesome and the games gives you such a sense of accomplishment when you make one that's really clever. I've played maybe a total of 10 hours so far, and I'm only at 15 jiggies. Showdown Down if THE BEST hubworld of any platformer. Period. I've sat down to play this game, and tell myself "Oh I'll spend an hour on this, than an hour on Warhawk."
Never happens.
The variety is simply amazing. I can spend thirty minutes hunting for Mumbo crates, 30 minutes doing challenges, then finally 30 minutes building and tweaking vehicles. (Of course, I always end up doing 90 minutes of each.)
Bravo Rare, Bra-fucking-vo.
