Conker's Bad Fur Day

I hid this game under my mattress for three years like a fucking Playboy magazine. This is a game that uses A Clockwork Orange as a primary theme, and The Matrix as a coup de grace. Some of the misadventures are hopelessly juvenile, and ultimately too convoluted to inspire lifelong interest. But my current wife, who is a professional Opera Singer, and I sing the Great Mighty Poo like its Die Nibelungen. This is why we're meant for each other.

This was ok. I remember my friends loving this game just because it was rated M and the squirrel was drinking beer and getting drunk

Very fun. Sucks to move Conker around, the mechanics are meh, but the plot and storyline are worth it.

Man is this game is such a difficult game to rate. It is genuinely funny and takes some chances. The problem is that it is a chore to play. The mechanics at their best are mediocre but the game has no logical difficulty curve. It is also filled to the brim with half-baked minigames which are at best a waste of time and at worst a complete drag on the game.

With it's razor sharp sense of humor and legendary graphics. Conker's Bad Fur Day is an unmatched success for RAREWare. It may not be as freeing as Banjo, but the story is well worth the journey and the game play features enough extras to go back to for years to come.

The scurry to find just the right flavor of "mature" to appeal to the adolescent audience would lead to some spectacularly silly games in the early 2000s: this, BMX XXX, the PS2 NARC, etc. Honestly, I find the fact of this game's existence more amusing than most of the humor in it. Gameplay's varied but generally a chore (though a more linear structure wasn't a bad idea after the excesses of the last few Rare games). Just watch the Mighty Poo, and you'll have had most of the fun on offer.

Has a cult following because it's edgy, vulgar, different, and it does deserve credit for going in that direction. It's just a little too juvenile for me.

I find it difficult to rate this one. The single-player difficulty had no curve at all, it just swung in random directions, and I never got past an early level because of it -- even trying to do so years later on the Rare Replay. Most of the minigames are also balls. However, War was where this game really shone. CTF and Deathmatch war games were so much fun. I'd sit and play them with friends for hours.

good game

Too many bad minigames

The multiplayer was godly at the time (it had a rip off of Team Fortress 2 among its modes), and the single player gameplay was impressively varied. Better than Rare's collectathons.

Let's all be honest and admit that the "mature" humor is in fact aimed squarely at 12-year-olds. Which is fine but I'm not gonna act like this is sharp comedy. As a game it's pretty decent but, even on the Rare N64 scale, no Banjo-Kazooie or GoldenEye or Jet Force Gemini.

Mechanically the game is pretty stiff and movement options feel very limited compared to other platformers. The level design isn't particularly impressive either, with most challenges being rather simplistic or designed around a gag. Back then this game was really risque with its sense of humor and how inappropriate it was, but these days it just comes off as puerile and moronic. It's still charming and fun in areas and the multiplayer is oddly really fun, but Conker was pretty unremarkable.

A cult classic, with some control & gameplay issues.

Only thing you had to collect was a bad attitude :'). They sold this stupid game for 120 CAD. Guhhh

The difficulty was wildly uneven in frustrating ways, to the point of souring the whole thing in my mind. I still am amused by bits of it, though.
