Had a crack of it just then, but not really paying attention to objectives. Looks pretty enough, although the demo is really only tutorial stuff. A bit of slowdown/freezes on loading.

Controlling the trolley is shit but then the whole point of the game is building good ones, so thats not an issue now. Might see what the demo lets you do when I have more time with it.

It is very baby-ish though. The attempts at humour and slapstick fall very flat.

Never played the original banjo game and I see no point in wasting a gig on this.I also hated Kameo and PDZ, but liked the DK GB games!.

I thought it was okay. Definitely a pretty looking game and the concept of building your own vehicles seems interesting but the demo was a little aimless, I wasn't exactly sure what I was supposed to do once I got into the level proper. I never played the original game on the N64 so I have no affinity for the characters. Unless it's cheap I will give it a miss.

Edit - I sat down and played it some more. It reminded me a lot of Toy Commander (which I loved) but the controls are frustrating. I imagine it gets better once you improve your vehicles.
