Someone post impressions. This was a suprise that we got both the Tomb Raider and this demo in the same week.

Is the deal where you pre-order Nuts & Bolts and get a code to download Banjo-Kazooie still going on? If so, I must know where I can get this.

I think it's still available. Check with your local 'big' videogame retailer.

impressions please!!!

Oh, and in the demo, you can ask a certain character about Killer Instinct 3.

Just saw it on Xbox360fanboy.com

Will check it out today

NeoGAF has a 300-thread topic about it. It's glaringly positive, but not perfect. Some people still can't get over the hitches of what BK3 involves (with the vehicles), but outside of that, many people are very impressive. Graphically (users are saying) it's about the best art they've seen in a game.

Most are saying it is indeed what a next-gen platformer should be, and Rare is back to their Nintendo-esque days.

The graphics are very good and load times are very short. Banjo Land is Huge!!! Good thing there are vehicles. Controls are great, I'd imagine you'd get better control once you get used to the game and get better parts. I had to fly a helicopter for one mission and it was really easy to fly, much easier than flying one in GTA4. There is one xbox live multiplayer game which revealed you can have parties. The multiplayer mode was using boats in a deathmatch like Bloodwake or Twisted Metal. You can hold "Y" at any time to get a vehicle. There is platforming, mostly to get notes. You can jump, climb, and tightrope walk. One of the challenges felt difficult to me, most likely because I was still getting used to the game. Your health system is a honey comb filled with honey that depletes as you get hurt. I wish I could use Kazooie to glide down from great heights or at least use a parachute. The game feels like it will average between 85-90. This is a fun game and a Banjo game. I feel very happy about my preorder and can't wait to play the game. I'm gonna go get something to eat, but I'll be back to answer any questions.

I downloaded it this morning and played it for about 20 mins with my son. I tried to play it again this evening and got a message saying the game won't run and I need to redownload it, but everytime I try the download craps out and say it can't finish and I have to restart it. It's doing the same with the Tomb Raider demo as well. :(
