It's definitely not for everybody.
The demo is huge. I don't think there's been a demo on the 360 with this much content. Nuts and Bolts is arguably the nicest looking game on the 360. The dynamic lighting, draw distance, and sheer amount of detail packed into these massive worlds is quite impressive. The vehicle creation is very intuitive. Rare nailed this aspect perfectly. I could spend lots of time in the garage and test-o-track just building contraptions and testing them out. I built a crazy plane/boat/car that shoots eggs. I liked the challenges in Banjo Land. There's some potential for them to get repetitive, but as long as most are players choice instead of LOG's choice, I think it will be fine. I love the music and just how unique and charming the game is. Nuts and Bolts still very much has that Banjo charm and humor. It really feels like something from the old Nintendo-era Rare. Also, Rare's not afraid to poke fun at themselves with the giant trash can full of Grabbed by the Ghoulies in Banjo Land.

There's nothing like this on the 360 and I'm very much looking forward to the release.
