ADULTS ONLY: THIS GAME IS ABSOLUTELY INTENDED FOR THE 20+ OLDER GAMEPLAYER WHO IS FAMILIAR WITH TODAY'S GREAT BUT "WIDE DEMOGRAPHIC" PLATFORMERS AND READY TO FOR SOMETHING NEWI had preordered Conker's, largely based on the excellence exhibited by the creators--Rare--especially in Jet Force Gemini and DK64. I had one finger poised to dial up and cancel the moment I heard it was only South Park humor and limited gameplay. Fortunately, it has turned out to be one of the best platform/adventure games ever created. And the humour combines sicker-than-South-Park sightgags with more sophisticated and dark British humour. I usually hate the juvenile, assinine South Park-like humour, but this is both a great step above and below! Amazingly, the graphics are stunning even without using the Expansion Pack. The sound and voice is equally impressive. everything is professionally voiced, be it the truly cheeky Conker himself, or the mafia-like Dung Beetle guards, or the cigar-chomping, foul-mouthed Cog... Gameplay is diverse, with the platforming action yielding to unique gameplay sequences with incredible bosses that usually grab a theme from a famous Hollywood movie (appropriately, usually adult-themed R movies). Great stuff. In sum, one of the best games on N64 with humour that alternates from "so crude I'm crying out laughter" to clever, well-voiced wordplay. JUST REMEMBER TO PUT THE HEADPHONES ON IF CHILDREN ARE ABOUT!
Rating: - Not for the Kiddies
Hey Mom, I know there is one reading this b/c their son or daughter asked for this game. Don't get it for them, get them a Furby or Paper Mario b/c this game too raunchy for kids under 16 or 17. The language is somewhere around PG-13 to R, while the worst words are censored, you can basically make out what they're saying, like in South Park.The game is top notch quality wise, the picture and sound are absolutely the best ever on a N64. The one thing I don't like is how the camera/point-of-view moves, it can be disorienting at times. The puzzles actually require thought and imagination. They are not simple, find all the switches, turn them on, open door, etc like on Bond or Perfect Dark. The Multi-player option is neat as well, you can choose which side to be on, example; be the runners trying to get past the guns on the beach, or try to shoot the runners. I've just started this game, and I have found it more interesting than Zelda. PS: The pitch fork, the paint pot, and the brush are hilarious.
Rating: - It's "South Park" meets "Banjo-Kazooie!"
Conker's Bad Fur Day is a great and funny game. It stars Conker, a cute, little squirrel who just had a hangover. To find his way home, Conker must go on an adventure. This may look like a kids' game, but it's M rated for good reasons. Parents, please read the following: 1. STRONG LANGUAGE: Some of the curse words are beeped out, but not a lot. [...] 2. SEXUAL THEMES: In one of the sections, theres a king bee who is having sex with his sunflower girlfriend, but they don't show it. All you can hear is "Ooooo!" "Aaaaahhhhh!" 3. DRUG AND ALCOHOL CONTENT: In one scene, two fiery demons are smoking cigarettes and drinking beer, laughing [...] 4. CRUDE HUMOR: One scene shows Conker leaving a bar. He's very sick and dizzy from drinking too much, so he barfs up his alcohol. One of the bosses is "The Great Mighty Poo", a huge, singing pile of poo who shoots out poo between his sweet corn teeth. 5. VIOLENCE: One scene shows Conker swimming in a tiolet combined with a blender. There's some blood and body parts floating in the pooey water. That's why "Conker's Bad Fur Day" is rated M. I think kids 14 and up should be allowed to play it, but not little kids. I'm 17 and allowed to play it. All in all, it's fun-filled and outrageously funny!!!!
