So, what exactly, is the problem with Banjo Kazooie Nuts n Bolts?

I downloaded the demo yesterday and have played through most of it.  My daughter has done the same and now both of us want to buy it.

I keep seeing posts about it not being a platformer and is some kind of racing game.  Am I not playing the same game?  Apparently these people are either smoking crack, haven't played the demo, or both.  The game is a platformer through and through -- at least after playing the demo.  Yes, vehicles are part of the deal, but you regularly have to depart the vehicle, collect stuff, and build new ones for specific purposes.  For those that keep saying it isn't a platformer, what the hell do you think it is?  It is not an action/adventure.  It is not an RPG.  It is not a shooter.  It is most certainly not a racing game as so many nutjobs are calling it.  Perhaps it is a platformer -- just a unique twist on the platform concept -- yeah, that's the ticket.

The graphics are very solid -- not quite ratchet and clank -- but great none the less.  The sound quality in DD5.1 is GREAT.

The bottom line is that BK NB is a very neat game and worth of a purchase especially given the price tag.  I'll be picking it up today (NEW) as I want to support the developer's efforts (yes, I know Rare is a microsoft-owned property).

I think people are just trying to find something wrong with the game so they can trash Rare more. I don't understand why everyone wants to punish Rare for being with Microsoft when they were sold to them. If this game were on the Wii people would praise it for being so huge you need vehicles to traverse the land. Instead you get the Banjo Kart comments.
