Great game remade for the X box with graphics that almost look as tho it was made for X box 360. Not too long and not too short, the game is not as difficult as the original N64 version but that doesn't make it any less entertaining. Some new material has been included into the game, including X box live multiplayer mode. Even when not playing online still fun to play with your friends or by yourself in the single player story mode. Overall i give it a 7 out of 10.

Fun game

I have played many war games and not many of them live up to the hype. Live and Reloaded surpasses them all. The war missions is the only reason that I play it. It makes you feel like your there. My favorite character to play as is the thermophile who can make his opponents disintegrate using the fauster or even burn them to death using the sinurator. I use the long ranger for shooting far away taking my opponents heads off with the sniper. The demolisher just blows my opponents up to smitherines with the bazooka. I get most of my kills with the sneeker who can do a sword spin that can take more than one of my opponents heads when they are trying to ambush me. You can even use vehicles to run over your opponents. I have read some of the negative reviews about this game on how it was a dissapointment, they try to compare it to the original, even that game was really good, but it was more animated and mostly focused on humor not to mention that it also had chain saws. This game was more realistic than the original. The graphics are over the top and remember its not suppose to be pretty. I would recommend this game to anybody who wants to be behind enemy lines.

Huge Let-Down

This X-Box incarnation of Conker is a Huge let-down. The N64 version is funny - sophomoric.

Why does the X-Box version psuck? Bascially its exactly like watching Pulp Fiction from NBC.

The graphics deliver, but as a game it's like the Church Lady has had her way with it.

My guess is someone at the gaming division of Microsoft tried to get it available for the X-Box and Then their Standards & Practices people went crazy Censoring everything.

The N64 version is actually worth buying an N64 system from eBay for; it's one of the few games actually worth more than it's original sale price... the N64 version that is

Eh

It was ok, the 64 version definatly better though. It's not bad they kinda screwed with the good parts though. And are you kidding with the graphics thing?! The teddiz are not as souless and evil as they were in the first game (that's what made them fun to kill!) Now they have faces and kind of look like lions. And the Fur effect ruined the darn thing! It's terrible, If they would have just said no to that discusting fur effect it would have been a little better. But other then that and the teddiz that are not nearly as evil and scary as they once were, it's an ok game, mulitplayer is fun.

Fun and Funny

Conker's Live and Reloaded

This is a great game for anyone who has a sense of humor. The single-player in this game is exactly like the N64 version, but the multiplayer is completely different. Altough I think that the multiplayer for the N64 is alot more consistent with the singleplayer gameplay, the multiplayer in this version is also very good. It's essentially a WWII style shooter, but with squirrels and tedeiz. Very entertaining to blow the stuffing out of a teddy.

Just plain fun

Conker: Live and Reloaded is a remake of the classic Nintendo 64 game Conker's Bad Fur Day. Bad Fur Day came out towards the end of the N64's life, right about the time Nintendo was starting up the Gamecube hype machine. So it would be understandable if you have never heard of the game. Not learning from their previous mistake, Rare released Live & Reloaded at a similar time in the Xbox's life when everyone's attention was on the Xbox 360. So once again it was overlooked by most, which is unfortunate considering that Conker: Live & Reloaded is not only one of the finest platformers ever created, but it is also quite possibly the funniest game ever made.

You play as the entire game as Conker, a small red squirrel with an alcohol addiction. After a night of partying and heavy drinking, he tries to stumble his way home to his girlfriend, but wakes up to find himself lost. He sets off to find his way home, but can't seem to get anywhere without getting in a bunch of trouble. You won't believe what happens to him all in the span of one day.

The gameplay is similar to some of the other great platformers like Donkey Kong 64 or Rare's Banjo-Kazooie. As you would expect, you will be jumping, smashing, shooting, and solving puzzles for all of the games 12 or so hours of gameplay. The game also makes good use of context sensitive action, something the original game was one of the first to do. You basically walk over certain pads and press a button to do any number of certain things. A few of the boss battles make good use of that mechanic, requiring you to use them to win. It seems pretty basic now but when the game came out it was pretty new. The third person shooting action controls great and some of the later stages of the game feel as if you are playing a 3rd person shooter.

There are a few negative things that you could say about the gameplay though. For a good part of the game, your only weapon that you have is a baseball bat. So combat will basically boil down to running up to an opponent, whacking them, and then jumping out of the way to dodge their counter attack. But then again, the game doesn't focus much on this type of combat. The only people you will be whacking are those that are walking around the environment that are in your way while you are going about your business. The main focus of the game is solving puzzles, jumping around, and boss battles. And when you get to the later portion of the game, you will have weapons and even vehicles which will make this a non-issue. Also, there are one or two sections of the game that are pretty difficult, such as a race over some lava while dodging dinosaurs that will probably take you 5 or so attempts to finish. But overall, these are just minor complaints that should not hinder your enjoyment of the game much.

The world of Conker is great. Instead of feeling like a bunch of separate self contained levels, all of the areas of the game are connected and you can usually pick the order in which you want to do things. The massive graphical upgrade the game got really helps make the world feel alive. The environments are very detailed, and the fur on the characters looks awesome. Conker: Live & Reloaded is easily one of the best looking games on the Xbox. The graphical style of the game is similar to that of Kameo for the Xbox 360 with lots of lush settings and cute characters that cover up some pretty brutal and mature gameplay.

What sets the game apart from other platformers is its great sense of humor. Some of its humor comes in the form of crude jokes, but most of it comes from parody. For example, there are a few sequences in the game that parody movies like The Matrix or Saving Private Ryan. Surprisingly, these sequences are still pretty funny even though those movies came out quite a while ago. Other parts of the game, like the entire sequence when you battle the Mightypoo, are so outrageous and crude that you can't help but laugh. The dialog in the game is also well written with a lot of humor, but obviously intended for a mature audience.

After you finish the game's excellent single player campaign, there is a whole new online component that Rare created. The multiplayer games are large scale class based battles with vehicles. Matches pit the Tediz against the Squirrels in a variety of scenarios. If you can imagine a smaller but more action packed Battlefield 2 then you should have a good idea about how it plays. Some of the matches are set to a World War 2 theme where the Squirrels play as the Allies and the Tediz play as the Nazis, while other matches are set in the future. All of them are a blast to play, making the online extremely addicting.

Overall, Conker: Live & Reloaded is an extremely fun game. If you never played the single player game before, Conker will offer some of the best platforming gameplay out there. If you have played the old game before, the updated graphics and the whole new addicting multiplayer component makes the game worth buying over again. Every Xbox (and Xbox 360) owner that enjoys platforming games should check out Conker: Live & Reloaded.

Multiplayer is sorta weak, buy it anyway

If you had a Nintendo 64, you probably heard of Conker's Bad Fur Day. Now that Rare signed to Microsoft, they released Conker Live And Reloaded. Most people thought this was a sequel, however it really is a re-make of the single player mode, and an all-new War mode, which is the only Multiplayer function.

The War mode is set up in classes, which is a nice touch to Deathmatches, since it makes it different, however occasionally, the Demolisher can just destroy everybody, which gives him an unfair advantage, but if you're skilled enough you can get him. You can play online with this function, and also with "Bots" which are computer controlled characters. The gameplay is up to 4 Players. For maximum fun value you need 4 people.

The graphics are probably the best graphics in a normal Xbox game when it was released. A major improvement over the original, which had the best graphics for a Nintendo 64 game, gives it a major run for it's money. However, not all of this is great, you get annoying load times ocasionally.

You can get upgrades to your weapons after you play online for quite a while, which is also a nice touch, making extra replay value if you play without friends online.

Disappointed...

I'm not a hardcore gamer, and I'm fairly new to xbox games...but I really enjoyed playing Oddworld (munch's oddysee and stranger's wrath) and Fable, so I got this game hoping it would be as challenging and fun. Being an xbox noob, I didn't realize til I got home that "live and reloaded" was an online game. It says on the box 'online enabled'...but I understood that to mean you could play with bigger groups online if you wanted...but that you could also play alone or with a friend with just your xbox offline -- nope -- all the new content is online. I was disappointed to say the least...but, I hadn't played the original game (bad fur day) which is also on the disc, so I thought I'd give it a try. The graphics were ok, but the animations seemed too long at times and you can't skip through it unless you've watched it once. The dialog was lame (corny at best) and the bleeped out cursing seemed gratuitous and unnecessary. I felt I needed to give it a fair try though so I stuck with it for a few levels. The actual game play is easy but frustrating because the game mechanics were clumsy and counter intuitive. You are expected to jump and hover to places/switches that take about 100 tries (you have to trigger the exact key frame) before you can proceed. That quickly becomes very tedious and unfun. I'm guessing it lost something in the translation to xbox from nintendo(?). I can go on and on about the short-comings of this game but I won't bore you, after all this isn't the right place to review bad fur day. I just thought I'd share my disappointment, and hopefully warn someone (like me) who was expecting to be able to play offline.
