This game is the first of its kind for the Nintendo 64. Conker and his friends look cute and cuddly but they don't speak that way. The dialogue is definitely adult. You don't have to do much reading throughout this game. Conker along with his friends & enemies speak through the entire game. The "bad" words are spoken out loud throughout the game. The more profane words are "#@!?%" bleeped out. Those of you who are wondering about the content...I feel that it is a definite PG-13 game. If you allow your kids to see a PG-13 movie with swearing then you can let them play this game. As far as how I rate this game....It was one of the best games that I have played. I laughed more playing Conker's Bad Fur Day than with any game that I have ever played. I had a blast playing this game! I gave it a 4 star rating because of the occasional bad camera angles that made some of the levels difficult and frustrating. My rating..Game Play 4, Graphics 5, Fun 5. I finished Banjo-Kazooie and Banjo-Tooie, also made by Rare and the game play is similar. The Conker game just adds a VERY mature theme to game. It is a must buy for those of you(adults) who liked the other Rare games. Just remember not to leave it out for the little ones to play

This is a very good game

I just bought Conker's BFD a month ago in March. About two weeks ago I beat the game and I thought it kicked a**.After beating the game,I was really satisfied with my purchase. In this game you can cheat, play alone or with friends in 7 games of multiplayer, and you can replay your favorite part of the game using the Chapters Mode. Besides the action, humor plays a great part in this game. If you like the "Simpsons" then you will love the humor of this game. From little cute squirrels getting their heads blown off by snipers and teddy bears with guns to sunflowers with breasts, this game pretty much will please anyone looking for a good time. Also, I loved the fact that the game copied other movies in the action. You can play as Neo in the Lobby Scene in the "Matrix" or as Ripley in "Aliens". This game is way up there with "Zelda" and "Perfect Dark" I really suggest you get this game.

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!!!!

an awesome game, but not as inappropriate as they say

First off: this is arguably the best n64 game ever. In my opinion it is THE best game ever. The graphic are absolutely amazing. The characters actually lip sync to the voices, and they are accurate, too! The shadow affects are very realistic and you can really tell which way the sun is coming from. The game handles great and is very easy to learn. I have to say the one bad thing about the game is that you can beat it in under 18 hrs, it took me a weekend to beat it. That is a down side not because it leaves you unsatified, but because you wish it wouldn't end. Every second of the game is interesting, well except when you can't beat a certain spot and have to do a million times over. Everytime you get past a certain part, something new and exciting happens. Like after you get mugged by some punk cavemen and chase them down on a hoverboard to get your money back, you end up in a colosseum where you have to fight to live. It may not make sense now, but if you get to this part in the game it slightly more sense. How the cavemen got hoverboards is a mystery but the story as a whole make sense... Let me rephrase that: the story makes sense because one event somehow leads to another, but why it does is purely coincidence. Example: you raise $2010 and give it to a man in a barrel. He then lets you ride him down a mountain and you evetually crash into a boarded up entrance which breaks when you hit it. Coincidentally through that door is the next level. An issue about buying this game is the disgusting humor (anyone who has played the game knows about the sunflower). In the beginning some parts are bad but as the game continues the humor matures into more subtle jokes instead of south park-like humor. There is also quite a bit of cursing but Conker himself rarely curses. It's really not bad game, a mature 15 year old could handle it. I, myself, am 16 and when I had to get my mom to rent it for me, I expected BAD. But like I said it really isn't that bad.

Read this before you buy!

This game, Conker's Bad Fur Day, is the incredibly humorous, vulgar prodigy of Banjo Kazooie. Before I played this, I feared it was a 007-esque first person shooter. Thank god it's not, because I rented it for 5 days! Even with it's mature rating, however, this is no game to avoid. Sure, they make references the "Poo" often, and say some mild language, but it's nothing the you couldn't see on HBO. There's no nudity at all, and the adult themes basically refer to the beginning, when a Bee "pollinates" a 'curvy' flower. With all of that aside, you should look for this game if you are a puzzle/adventure fan. In fact, an average gamer should get a month out of this game(not to mention the countless hours of multiplayer fun).

This Game Won't Leave You Hung Over!

This game is truly a masterpiece among games, and a pioneer as well. Conker is probably the greatest videogame hero of all time; he far outclasses Mario, Link, Banjo, Pikachu, and others. The gameplay is very good [the "Context Sensitive" pads are an especially clever touch], the voice dubbing is fantastic, and the graphics are superb. The cast of characters is also up to snuff, particularly Gregg, the Grim Reaper... don't laugh; if you do, you're worse than those ..cats. Humorwise, the game has no equal, beyond a shadow of a doubt. After fighting an intense battle with a pile.., ..helping out a ..cog, and grinding up villagers for a Dracula that looks suspiciously like Gary Oldman, you can't help but laugh [or be disgusted; this game is not for people with Puritan values]. Probably one of the most refreshing changes found in this game is that the multiplayer can actually hold a candle to the singleplayer. War and Heist are the best two, and none of them are especially bad, except Raptor, due to its unequal balance of power. If you want the gist of this review, it's simple: If you don't mind jokes, guns, and drugs, this game is an essential part of any true N64 enthusiast's collection.

Worth your while, $, and patience: This game rocks!

When I first saw the commercials for this game, I thought, "How cheesy!" But I bought it on a whim and due to Rareware's consistently great repuation (except, it seems, for Conker's Gameboy game - heard lame things about that). The graphics are gorgeous, although the depth perception can get hazy (simple to fix: simply do a "Conker View and see where things are from his level), and the helicoptery tail thingy takes a bit for us non-video game masters to, well, uhm, master. The sound effects are great, like many reviewers have stated: footsteps, grunts, splashing water, "poo" sounds, great music and club scene--simply very realistic sounds. Of course, there is the cute Conker attitude and personality, like when he gets tired and you are down on chocolate "points," he mumbles,
"choc'late..uhh...choc'late." So I am a sucker for cute - but there is plenty of challenge and yelling at the screen, as well. We all have had the "I'm gonna throw this damn paddle against the TV!!" moment with this game.

The stages are so varied: Poo Mountain to a World War II-esque battle with Tediz, to a Vampire and scary zombies...enough variety to make you forget the small things that may bug ya. Rareware strikes again!!

What a Suitable Death Toll for the N64

My problem with Conker doesn't have as much to do with the idea so much as it does the follow-through. In all honesty, I was thrilled to hear the company had recognized their own flaws and were attempting to reconcile for them by releasing a shockingly robust title that seemed to spit in the face of everything they'd done since the debates caused by the home release of the original Mortal Kombat. However, I left my initial playing with the sense that the while idea itself was exactly what the company needed, the execution was more than a tad lacking.

The story plays out like a theatrical feature, which is appropriate considering the number of situations the game eventually borrows from popular films. Glass of milk (or is it a white russian?) in hand and a scowl plastered upon his face, Conker is immediately reminiscent of the kind of anti-hero popularized by Bruce Willis in Die Hard or Samuel L. Jackson in Pulp Fiction. Surrounded by his supposed friends and acquaintances, this introductory scene was a great way to set the tone of the story and introduce a hardened, slightly older version of the title's namesake. The moment the king's flashback begins is when the player begins to take control of the action.

There's a lot of Hollywood inspiration in Conker's tale. From the little nuances and cliches such as the opening scene, to borrowed scenes or tips of the hat to films like the location of the King's throne at the end of the game, to straightforward rip-offs of memorable scenes or films like the unquestionably Matrix bank heist, this cartridge is chock full of film-lore. And, to its credit, the vast majority of the game's quirks, nods and thefts are handled very well, with just enough originality and additional humor thrown in to make it work within the broad confines of its storyline.

For the most part, the story is successful. Its film parodies are spot on, while its original threads tend to lag behind a bit and force a joke just for the sake of it. It feels like the game was rushed, and rather than waiting for the inspiration to create something undeniably funny, the writers instead went with whatever they came up with the fastest. In addition, there's little if any direction as to what you should be doing at any point in the story. Bad Fur Day is a big fan of putting you in the middle of an immense area with no visual clues as to where you should go from there, then erecting giant invisible walls out of thin air and hoping that their placement will corral you into the exact area in which you should be. Successful or not, this method is employed over and over and over again, from the game's start until its finish.

While the storyline is competent for the most part, the actual control and gameplay itself is nearly unforgivable. Physically controlling Conker is a complete nightmare. Even the use of the N64's well-designed analog joystick can't save this horribly imprecise setup, as the squirrel will occasionally veer left or right without explanation or mosey over the edge of a cliff moments after you've told him to stop moving entirely. Conker does have a sort of double-jump feature, in that through the use of his tail he can hover in the air for a couple additional seconds. He can also perform a high jump and a long jump, by crouching or running for a few second before leaping, accordingly. Unfortunately, these high jump and long jump options only seem to work when they feel like it. I've been running for upwards of a full minute, jumped, and watched Conker perform a weak little sissy jump and fall to his doom. This game really feels like something that wasn't fully tested before its release, the controls reek of incompletion.

Add onto that one of the most horrific cameras in the history of 3-D rendering, and you've already got a pissed off gamer. Seriously, you're given supposed control of these angles through the use of the C buttons (similar to the way the camera is maneuvered in The Legend of Zelda: The Ocarina of Time), but as soon as you find a vantage point you're comfortable with and release the C button, it just goes off on its own and returns to a completely unhelpful, useless view. This camera cannot pass through walls, so if your back is against one and you're trying to prepare for a complicated, lengthy, precise leap, you've got to do it blind. Better still, once you've made up your mind and attempted said jump, the camera will awkwardly spin as soon as it's got room to get behind you, effectively reversing your controls in mid-air and introducing a loss of direction to your life.

The audio is one of the few undeniable triumphs of this one. The voice acting is tremendous, Conker's voice suits him perfectly and the actors themselves seem to be having a lot of fun with the material. The music is the usual fare for Rare platformers, light and bouncy, and serves as a constant joke considering the circumstances surrounding it. Little tidbits like the main character mumbling to himself and retching when he's drunk, or fighting back bile while rolling an enormous ball of poo really make a difference in the experience, and are things I wish more games took the time to incorporate.

When push comes to shove, there's really only one thing you can create with the ingredients provided by Conker's Bad Fur Day, and that's disappointment. There's no question in my mind this game needed another couple months of production before it was ready to ship, and looking back it should be regarded as the poster boy for the N64's lifespan. This game wasn't created to entertain and enamor so much as it was to annoy, frustrate and defeat.

Kids, don't look!!!

Conker's Bad Fur Day may look like some cute Banjo Kazooie game, but guess what? It is far more complex than Banjo Kazooie. This little twerp pees on his enemies, swears, gets drunk, posses as an army guy, and does other stupid things. This is not a game for children to be playing. He even has sex with girls in some movies. Parents, don't even consider buying this for your five year old. Infact, not even when they're seventeen.

The best N64 Game Ever

In my opinion Conker's Bad Fur Day is possibly the best Nintendo 64 game ever created. I just completed this game yesterday and still can't get over how good of a game it is. The humor in the game probably isn't for everyone but I really enjoyed it. This game is a must have for anyone with a N64. It also has an excellent multiplier mode that is lots of fun. So if you don't have this game I would highly recommend getting it.
