Well that's disappointing. The game lost the base of the game. Banjo was one of the best platformers made. Vehicle combat? why? at least like others have said. tack it onto the side. Snap together vehicles? why isn't this a Lego game?
The graphics, grant it early, is not half as polished or what I expected. It doesn't even really look like the Banjo's model was made correctly. He looks misshaped.
Truly sad to see Rare kill another franchise. Oh well, maybe M$ will sell them off if Banjo fails.
