From today's featured article  Xbox 360 Banjo-Kazooie: Nuts & Bolts is a 2008 platform game developed by Rare and published by Microsoft Game Studios for the Xbox 360 (pictured). Set eight years after Banjo-Tooie (2000), Nuts & Bolts follows Banjo and Kazooie as they compete with the witch Gruntilda for their home. It retains the structure of previous Banjo-Kazooie games –&#32;collecting jigsaw puzzle pieces to progress –&#32;but shifts the focus from exploration to vehicle construction and manoeuvring. The developers, led by Gregg Mayles, introduced vehicles as they sought to evolve the platform genre. Nuts & Bolts was a commercial disappointment and drew criticism from fans for departing from the Banjo-Kazooie gameplay, but received generally positive reviews. Retrospectively, its focus on construction and player freedom has been considered ahead of its time. It remains the most recent Banjo-Kazooie game, despite fan interest in a continuation.
