WOW is the only word to describe this game as u play through worlds of zombies tediz and crap. People wonder why this game was rated "M" because they censor the bad words in the game but the foul language is not the only thing in the game people. it's called SUBTEXTURAL MEANING ( a meaning inside a meaning). For those of you who have played the game and actually are over 17, what does the cog being placed on the other cogs pole remind u of.....? Anywayz the game started simple and worked its way up to a pretty challenging game over all enjoyably and a must have for all you N64 adventure lovers.

Conker is good, but there are some flaws...

Let's start out by saying this game should be rated "I" for immature, not "M" for mature. It's rude, it's crude, and it's pretty much all toilet humor. Outside of all that, it's a great game though. The graphics are amazing; there were points were it looked like a Dreamcast game! And the sound is equally good. The voice-overs are spot on and the characters actually move their mouths in sync with the words!(A first for N64 games I believe)The only problem lies in the control and camera angle. You will swear more that Conker does, I guarantee, due to the fact that he moves more at the speed of a water buffalo than a squirrel. This makes the game INSANELY DIFFICULT at times. But all inall, you'll forget about it after awhile and just enjoy the game. (Especially the Gregg Grim Reaper parts! They're the funniest thing I've ever seen in a game!) Buy it now, if you don't mind a few flaws in your gems.

One of the best game on any system!

This is a great and funny game. Curse words that contain F- or Sh- is bleeped out(like you dont know what they are saying) Also the game is full voice acting (and a great voice acting at that) Anyways, as far as the "M" rating go it should have been "Teen" if you have seen "R" or even some "PG-13" rated movies this is nothing new from what you have seen in those movies.This is the best game to have come out in SUCH along time it's good to get the releif. The only complaint is the camera. It can make this game realy fustrating. I am sad to say that if the camera was sationary (like in Onimusha) it would have made it easier. The graphics are the best seen on N64 and like I said the sound is great but they talk a little to fast. The camera is realy dumb in multi- games the cut-sceen are great you can watch them over and over again at the menu screen. The story is very funny (Conker has a hang-over and wants to go home)Makes fun of movies like the "Matrix" This is a must buy!

I saw this game one day and I said, "what did they do to conker!?...?". I was so mad I didn't know what to do. I was really upset. Conker was such a cute squirrel and so nice looking and friendly until they made Conkers bad fur day.
This game is a very bad game, and I don't think any kid no matter what age should paly this game, even if you are a hundred years old. This game is nothing but bad violence! This game also has other bad things I will not mention. I Think this game should be banned from the public. And I hope if you are smart you will listen to me.

Dirty Humor; Great Fun

The thing that makes this game worth it isn't just the great opening that parrallels A Clockwork Orange, but also all the extra features it has. Not only does it have the main game that is challenging and funny, with the karaoke opera poop boss, but it also has a bunch of side games that are fun to play by yourself, or with a group of friends.

I don't think I would say this game is suitable for people under the age of 15, just because of the vulgarity, drugs, and sexual references.

Otherwise, it's probably one of the funnest games I have, a definite 5 stars, and worth a look.

Good ideas, too easy for an experienced N64 player.

I bought this game exactly two weeks ago, and I already have it beat. Why you ask? Because if you are used to Banjo Kazooie or Mario 64, then you know what to expect and you know all the loopholes. Add to that, there are more cinema scenes than actual action, which kind of slows down the momentum. Don't get me wrong, I did enjoy this game, and although it seems gimmicky on the outside, it has it's own weird brand of humor. From the rat with TNT who appears twice to Greg the Grimm Reaper, you will find yourself chuckling at the stupidest things. The graphics on here are next to flawless, my only complaint is that it has that "dead background" look that all platform games have. But the levels are extremely intricate and offer lots to explore. My last complaint however, was the ending. After all the work, you get THAT! (If you've beaten it, you know what I mean). But, if you haven't played this type of game before, I do suggest you pick this one up, but if you have already mastered Mario and Banjo Kazooie, this one is a no-brainer.

ABSOLUTLY FANTASTIC A BIG A++++

I'm not sure why I purchased this game really. I guess I got suckered in by all the media hype surrounding the M rating and the so-called constant swearing. I don't know if it's my age, but when a game promises bad language why are some of the words still bleeped out (I know why but that isn't the point here)? It should have been an all or nothing deal.

So pushing aside the unusual choices in their words is the game really that good? Well, sort of. The controls are bordering on deplorable. Conker's jumping ability as well as the action buttons are instantaneous. Yet Conker's attack has a very distinct lag. Why? Because the programmers, for some bizarre reason, chose to have Conker go through an extensive animation sequence of drawing out his frying pan and then using it to whack whatever. And why can't I run and wa . . . hit at the same time? The lag and quirky controls during some sequences could be forgiven if it wasn't for that idiot camera.

Obviously the programmers have never heard of Jelly-cams or even a Ghost-cam. The camera is a crucial aspect to any good game. It doesn't matter how good the game play, control, story line of the game is. If the camera isn't up to par, the game isn't up to par. There are numerous instances where the player is unable to see what is around Conker because the camera is forced to obey the laws of the 3D world. Never, in any game, should the camera be the direct cause of the death of any character. The angle of the camera makes it very difficult to gauge the distance between Conker and numerous climbing ropes, enemies, dangerous blades, platforms, and several unmentionables. The camera controls do little to alleviate the camera problems since the camera can't pass through insignificant walls, platforms and sometimes enemies. There were numerous times I couldn't see the next place Conker was supposed to go to because I couldn't rotate the camera due to some idiot platform in the way. It saddens me that numerous gamers today have forgotten how a camera is supposed to behave.

So pushing aside the crummy camera work, quirky controls, and bad language, is there anything good at all about this game? Well, yes there is. This game suffers from what many modern day games suffer from, A whole boatload of eye candy. Aside from some unusual areas that could potentially cause blindness, the in game graphics and animation are very slick given the limitations. Hasn't anyone noticed? The box nor the instructions specify that the game requires the N64 memory expansion card that a previous Rareware game required. Since the game doesn't require one, I sometimes wonder how much more the game could have been if it took full potential of the N64. It's fairly safe to say that I have never met a person that owns the N64 and doesn't have the "optional" mem' card installed. And along with the quirky controls and slick graphics comes a story that's neither.

The story really doesn't make a whole lot of sense but then again neither does the fact that a drunk red squirrel is dating a a tailless gray squirrel (which looks like her design was heavily influenced by Lola) and the baddest guy around looks a bit like a beefed up Bagheera followed around by Hyena henchmen. Strange really. I'm not going to give away the story but the reasoning for the Panther King's obsession with Conker is certainly strange.

Given all of that the game has numerous hurdles, most experienced gamers (like myself) will breeze through this since we've played worse games than this. However, beginner gamers will quickly become frustrated with the quirky control and terrible camera work. I suggest you pick up either of the Banjo games or something similar. However, if you want something that's a good title to show off and a title that could potentially pave the way for adult players, pick this one up. I guarantee this title will be forgotten by the masses but will become a cult favorite by the few dedicated players in a few years.

crude humor good - game play bad

This game a foul - the long cut scenes are full of disgusting humor. Those were the best bits. The actual game iteself seemed like cruel and unusual punishment. The 'puzzles' wouldn't stump a four year old and the game play is tedious and repetitive. If I hadn't borrowed the game from a friend I would have put it down the garbage disposal by now.

The game suffers from many of the problems that Nintendo games have. You have long and tedious jumping sequences in which the character will often fail to jump for no apparent reason causing you to have to repeat the sequence from the start over and over ad nauseam. The direction the character moves depends on the camera angle and, as the camera will swing around unpredictable, the character will suddenly start marching off in a totally different direction when you haven't moved the joystick. As much of this 'game' involves walking along narrow paths, this is a real pisser.

I picked up the controller exactly three time with this game and each time I threw it down in disgust 30 minutes later. I guess I'm a slow learner. If they the game out and just left the cut scenes you'd have something I'd probably pay $5 for but at least I'd think I'd gotten value for my money.

The game seems designed to irritate and annoy the player. Don't buy it unless you really enjoy repeating the same boring stuff over and over.
