What's your favorite hub-world

It's so hard to choose Grunty's lair had great exploration, Isle O' Hags was outstanding to explore and was really big, and Showdown Town was fantastic to explore and there was so much to do in there. So I choose Showdown Town it was just fun to explore around plus I got to do so much stuff there like blast the police and find the hidden Jiggy Tampers.

No poll? Isle O' Hags still remains my favorite.

Showdown town made you explore to find new areas and hidden parts and notes, let you buy parts for your vehiclees and customize them, and let you explore in the order you wanted to.

Showdown Town.

A Banjo hub that's not somber and gloomy for once.

I loved showdown town, i loved Isle O Hags, But none of them were as memorable as Gruntilda's Lair. Why?

1) The music is superb and captures the mood 100%
2) All the differently themed rooms + the different music + world entrances. are pure win and really make you feel like your there. (ex: ccw room + foresty lair theme + wooden entry= purely awesome)
3) The puzzle pieces placed all over the place are way cooler than just going back to the same place to do the puzzles
4) The final room really makes you feel like your about to face the final fight. The ominous music really accompanied it nicely
5) Overall very memorable

Very hard choice.... Grunty's Lair is classic, Isle O Hags is just fantastic because it is, and Showdown Town felt really alive, though a bit small compared to the others.

I think Showdown Town, because like I said, it really felt alive and full, with many things to do. It's one of the parts I enjoyed the most from N&B.

Showdown down was the best IMO. It has alot to do and was pretty big and fun to explore.

Isle O' Hags. WHy ?

1) I like the music
2) it feels like a world, outside and such. Grunty's lair just felt TOO small, like they tried too fill every corner of a room.
3) Different scenarios, me likes
4) It's empty, like unexplored. SDT included citizens when you got there, and everything feels like it's already been explored.
5) Unexpected scenario, everything felt so ... weird ...

List <3

Grunty's Lair...

It really gave the game a true sense of circumstance, it made you feel like you really were up against something formidable. Basically it had a sense of real urgency about it. Isle O' Hags is great too, and has more interesting things to explore, but you just feel too distant from Grunty to feel like you're under pressure or anything. In Grunty's Lair, every step you take you feel like you're getting closer and closer to the final goal.

The Grunty's Lair music was also perfect. It was just so full of atmosphere and fitted the situation really well. I love the way it changed whenever you entered the area associated with a level. Pure perfection.

So yep, Grunty's Lair was the best for me. But don't get me wrong, Showdown Town and Isle O' Hags were also awesome and had their great moments, but I don't think either of them felt as consistently good as Grunty's Lair.

Next to Grunty's Lair, I'd put Showdown Town...

1. Isle o' Hags - Lots of large outdoor areas.
2. Gruntys Lair - Had that magical story book feel
3. Spiral Moutian GR - Fairly large and fun to explore
4. Showdown Town - Played NAB at a friends house a few times. I dont hate the game but I dont care for it either. Im happy with the music and no game. Just for fun Conkers Windy is after Spiral Moutain GR and DK isle would be my number 2.

Hmm... this is quite hard to choose. I can't decide between Isle o' Hags or Showdown Town. I don't know why, I simply like them more than Grunty's Lair. But, I think Showdown Town wins because it's more colorful and it felt like magic to me.
