Conker's Bad Fur Day

when I first brought this game I thought it would be stupid,BUT IT WAS NOT.The voices by Chris and Louise are done perfectly.If anyone is reading this right now get the game,it may sound strange at first,the game,but as you play it more it gets better.My favorite part is the multi player mode.

Originally, this was meant to be a cutesy kid's game, but the designers at Rare felt that would be too similar to Banjo Kazooie. So, it was redesigned into a shockingly raunchy adult game chock full of profanity, blood, alcohol, and sexual themes, albeit with a deceptively cartoonish and colorful environment.

After suffering a nasty hangover from a night of drinking, you'll guide Conker the Red Squirrel on a long, arduous journey home while avoiding the minions of the Fairy Panther King who seeks to use Conker as a makeshift table leg. But don't let the game's cutesy appearance and humor fool you; the ending was a devastating gut-punch that teaches Conker (and the player) a harsh lesson.

The gameplay was fairly simple, consisting mostly of typical platforming and puzzle solving and Conker only had a handful of moves, like his double jump and tail hover. The only collectibles in the game are wads of cash that are necessary to progress further. But things picked up and became more combat oriented by the third act where you fight a wide variety of enemies like the evil Tediz, Zombies, and Weasel soldiers with an assortment of weapons, like a shotgun, duel submachine guns, and a bazooka.

The game has a strong cinematic feel to it, thanks to the fantastic cutscenes. There are film references everywhere: the intro takes after "A Clockwork Orange", "It's War" was a gritty and bloody take on Saving Private Ryan, and "Heist" parodied the slow-motion action of "The Matrix". The final boss was even a Xenomorph from "Alien". The British humor was brilliant and side-splittingly funny; very few games made me laugh as hard as this one did.

The music was great and dynamic. The oldies style music of the hub world Windy was very catchy and spritely, then there was ancient tribal theme of Uga Buga, the low and eerie theme of Spooky, and the (in)famous Sloprano opera accompanied by the Great Mighty Poo's surprisingly beautiful singing voice provided by Chris Marlow. The sounds and voice acting were excellent, considering director Chris Seavor performed 90% of it.

The game pushed the N64 to its absolute limits, and it shows because the graphics and sounds were gorgeous for the system. The levels had beautiful coloring and strong textures like the glowing lava pits in Uga Buga, and the blood-dyed water on the shores of Tediz Island. Other visual effects like sparks from bullet impacts, explosions and smoke clouds, and water dripping off Conker after swimming looked great too. Conker even conveyed full facial emotions and eye movement, and he had full lips sync, as did most of the characters.

Downer ending aside and the disappointing fact that no true sequel will be made, Conker's Bad Fur Day was a marvelous game created late in N64's life and one of the funniest I've ever played. Even today, it remains a cult classic that's still enjoyable.

After they made Banjo-kazooie and Donkey Kong 64 I remember them saying they were going to make another game with one of the characters from Diddy kong racing, with a squirell named Conker. Now basically I had heard nothing of the content of the new game until I saw the rating on the box and the picture of Conker with a beer. And people that did know told me to steer clear of this one. Immediately I convinced my parents to rent the game, Conkers BFD. I was thinking, "How far would Nintendo and Rare go to make a mature audience game". Sure enough this was the funniest crudest game I have played since Clayfighter 63 1/3. Nowhere else can I play a game where you get drunk and p**s on people or fight an opera singing boss made entirely out of S**t. Unlike Banjo-Kazooie, not only does it have strong language, bathroom humor, and even a bit of sexual themes, but you also don't spend endless searches for items and stuff to get what you need to defeat the boss. Instead it consists of context sensitive zones that just gives you what you need.

Also lots of scenes from different movies in the game that will make most adults laugh as well. I highly recommend you play this game. Great graphics for a game that doesn't use the expansion pack and cut scenes as well with good voice overs (hence the british accents). And the best multiplayer Rare has given in a while. Even if some of the gross humor might come as silly and ignorant you will like it nonetheless. Overall you should go and get the total experince that is Conker, who has come a long way from a boring racing game.

All these 1 star reviews here a bull. This game, is by far, not only one of the most comedic games ever made, but it also holds a deeper meaning than just trying to be M rated. The over all message of the story is incredible, and the ending will send chills up your spine. The multiple movie references as well are fresh, especially for a n64 title. And while it takes a bit to get up into the full story, this game is filled to the brim with the best sound, graphics, and overall gameplay. Screw Pocket Tales! This is where Conker is really at.

I never knew that Nintendo will let Rare create Conker's Bad Fur day. It is the most vulgar, sexual, violent, and most funniest game ever made. It has 10-10 graphics, and sweet voices. This game can beat c.ds of Playstation 2 (believe me, I have the Playstation 2). I'll give this game a 1,000 out of 1,000.
