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.

 

You never cease to amaze me.

 

A game that's being loaded from the hard drive, instead of a disc drive, is going to have a much better load time by default. The actual game itself will have much longer load times.

How about copy the game on the HDD when the NXE arrives ?



thetonestarr on 29 October 2008

Point is, it has nothing to do with the specific game itself and all to do with being on the HDD and not a disc.

If that's how you're going to play it, then GTAIV will have wonderful load times too, after NXE.

Uhm maybe that the actual game won't have much longer loading times, when copied to the HDD

You know a bit introducing the NXE and such stuff ...

well obviously it will, but it still has no relevance to what thetonestarr was saying.

So, the vehicle creator is an enormous pain to use and overall annoying. I'm not impressed.

I don't know you problem. He is talking about loading times and I'm talking about loading times
