Like their previous resurrected titles, Nuts & Bolts serves as nothing more than a failed attempt by Rare to blend something "fresh" into an already winning formula. With missions that are far too repetitive, a lack of available settings for multiplayer, and other nefarious nuisances that hinder the game, it is hard to recommend Nuts & Bolts to any fan who loved the original title. Sure, a $40 price tag is reasonable considering the game you will receive (it's almost as if Rare knew what they did and wanted to lessen the burden) but there are far too many things that don't sit right with this latest Rare incarnation. If you are in the mood for some classic Banjo- Kazooie, knock down a few points on the XBLA version instead, it's still better then Nuts & Bolts will ever be.
