Been a long time since I played it, but decided to get back to playing BK: Nuts & Bolts. Don't remember how far I got originally in it, but a good ways for sure, I don't know exactly, but on its own it is a good game. Among the BK fans, you might as well just be speaking of death, as I am one of those too lol At the time, it was the game that no one really wanted. Interesting to some, but to those wanting Banjo-Threeie, it was basically a slap in the face. To the point that they even mocked platform gaming and the collectathon's as being old and outdated.
On its own, I like the building aspect, it reminds me a lot of Kingdom Hearts Gummi Ships, just with more variety due to being able to build planes, boats, and land vehicles, or a mixture of any of them. Levels are abit bland, but it all looks pretty nice.
Sadly, as the game represented to many what felt like the end of Banjo-Kazooie and ever getting a proper sequel, it is also representative of nail in the coffin of Rare as they haven't made anything but Kinect games for the past 7 years.
