    I need to tell you a back story of how I got this game. When this game came out, I was about five. When I turned 13, I went to a family reunion on the hottest day of the year! My cousin walked up to me and gave me the cartridge to this game. He said, "I guess you're old enough, don't you think? Just keep it safe and make sure your mother doesn't catch you playing it!"

My cousin walked up to me and gave me the cartridge to this game. He said, "I guess you're old enough, don't you think? Just keep it safe and make sure your mother doesn't catch you playing it!" He was moving to a new college campus where his roommate had an XBOX 360, so he sold his console and his games, except for that one, which he gave to me fo' free!

    Now to the actual game: It was both nothing I expected and exactly what I wanted to play. Now, depending on your point of view, this game was widely irresponsible, or totally freaking awesome! This game has a surprising amount of gameplay, very funny and satirical jokes, is scary at times, bloody and violent, and has many obscure movie references, everything a thirteen year-old boy would want! This was from one of the game companies that controlled my childhood, RARE-WARE. I played their Banjo-Kazooie, Donkey Kong 64, and their Diddy Kong racing games. Who would have thought the people who made my favorite childish and cutsie platformers made THIS game! I guess they wanted a laugh as much as I did. Excellent control, excellent humor, this game's not getting sold anytime soon.    … Expand

    I remember playing this splitscreen with four of my mates and what a brilliant time we had. It just so much fun you cant get bored. Who wouldnt enjoy playing as a teddy bear shooting the hell out of a squirrel or even the other way around? It just such a fun game and alot of people and myself would recommend this to anyone.

    This game actually defined today's culture, being somewhat of stupid humor. but some of us like that, don't we? This game had been praised by us and critics, because of it's pop culture, somewhat adult-leaned humor. Let me go on, it's graphics, it's super quality sound, especially for the N64. Very animated.

    Give or take one of the best platform games ever, for N64 atleast. It would've been perfect if it was longer in single-player mode, but the multi-player mode partially makes up for it. I hope there is a sequel for Gamecube, or any system at that! Go Rare!

It absolutely nuked my expectations! First off, the jokes were hilarious, especially the Great Mighty Poo song! Secondly, the graphics were totally amazing for the time, and did not even require the expansion pak, which is always a bonus. The platforming was perfect and the controls were great as well. The multiplayer is by far one of the best of its console and definitely the best last level of any video game. The worlds and characters were very creative and colorful. The parodies added a special fun twist to it as well. Many people thought it was too immature, but the game was intended to be that way, and that is what makes it a funny adventure. I can only think of three minimal flaws with it. One, the gameplay is rather limited. I can probably beat the game in a week if I played it through again. Two, the chapter "It's War" kinda sucked and was impatiently frustrating. Finally three, what is with the price! As of this review, it costs $50! That is how much a new game is today! The main reason it is that high though is because it's relatively rare, (50,000 copies) and it is in very high demand. Despite its price tag, Conker is a must for any Nintendo 64 collection! I really hope they make an amazing sequel, but it seem to go that direction considering the hated remake they made and the ending to this one.… Expand

    Soon afterwards, the game becomes very dark as you move through a zombie infested graveyard and haunted mansion, and find yourself in the middle of a war. The game then turns from a 3D platformer to a 3rd person shooter as you have to battle your way through zombies and Nazi teddy bears. The ending of the game is just as dark.

    Wow. Whoever said this game sucks has no sense of humor and can't detect an amazing game. Every game doesn't have to be a mindless shooter. This game brings what the N64 did best- 3D platforming to it's greatest. It's also a long experience, because the game is about 7 hours long and it has a deep multiplayer. A 10 isn't enough to explain this game.

    Conker was an amazing technical feat on the n64, and Rare pushed the system to its absolute limits with this swan song n64 title. But for all its visual beauty, Conker really was nothing more than a crass, obtuse platformer. It's not always clear what your next objective is supposed to be, and their is a good deal of trial and error in the games puzzles (which aren't that fun ).Conker was an amazing technical feat on the n64, and Rare pushed the system to its absolute limits with this swan song n64 title.

It's not always clear what your next objective is supposed to be, and their is a good deal of trial and error in the games puzzles (which aren't that fun ). The platforming and jumping segments can be extremely frustrating at times, due to the camera. The game tries to be clever and funny with toilet humor, british humor, and satire of films like the Matrix, Saving Private Ryan and a Clockwork Orange. But the game is never as clever or fun as it thinks it is. Yes, it's different, and it was daring of Nintendo to have an adult game on what was largely considered a kiddie console, but in the end Conker will always be known more for its shock value, than being a great game. Extra point for the games multiplayer, which was a lof of fun.… Expand

    Very fun game. Though it's a little short, it's a very funny adventure. There's not really anything to do after beating the story, other than the multiplayer.

    This game is weird. I loved the characters, the world and the dialogue. But nothing in the single-player game was... fun. Playing this game was like doing chores to get to the next cutscene. Watching someone else play through this game on YouTube ended up being more enjoyable than playing it myself.

This leads to the next two issues: the controls and camera. Maybe it wasn't a big as issue back then because it was mostly the norm for games to have iffy controls and camera, but it really does stand out in 2017.

    Overall, maybe if I had played this as a kid when it first came out I'd love it just as well as most everybody else. The story and jokes are still good. If only everything else didn't get in the way.    … Expand

    OK let's start with the positive: This game has got the be the funniest game on the N64. Back in the day when it came out, it was unthinkable to have such a grown-up game with raunchy, adult humor on a Nintendo console. And the whole thing was developed by Rare, who had their golden age on the Nintendo 64 and were the very best developer around. So what could go wrong?

    Turns out, a lot.    OK let's start with the positive: This game has got the be the funniest game on the N64. Back in the day when it came out, it was unthinkable to have such a grown-up game with raunchy, adult humor on a Nintendo console. And the whole thing was developed by Rare, who had their golden age on the Nintendo 64 and were the very best developer around. So what could go wrong?

    Turns out, a lot. I picked this game up again yesterday after not having played it for probably 16 years. It was mentioned in a Youtube Video and I actually had very fond memories of it. So I started playing and was delighted at the humor in the cutscenes, the characters, and the pop culture references, many of which I didn't get back then at age 11 when I first played it.

    But soon enough, other memories also resurfaced: Unbearable frustration, me throwing my N64 controller across the room and totally freaking out at the game. And now, I can confidently say; that rage was not just me as an 11-year old not having the experience and skill to master a hard game. That rage was completely justified because this game is hard for ALL THE WRONG REASONS.

    You never know if your jumps are gonna land where you want them to, which is the death-sentence for any platforming game. But it's not just the platforming, every game mechanic is absolute sheet. Aiming with the slingshot is completely unintuitive. Underwater levels are hell on earth because you become disoriented within seconds thanks to the lousy camera. You can theoretically control the camera with the C-buttons, but good luck with that!

    Other mechanics only appear once or really infrequently. For example, there are sections where Conker gets drunk, has to piss on certain things/enemies and then gets hung-over after a while. Then you have to walk to a first aid box and pop an Alka Seltzer before you can move normally again (and return to the beer keg to get drunk again, because you probably have not finished what you need to do in one go-around). My questions: WHY is the first aid box located at the other end of the room? WHY does Conker have to walk so unbearably slow when hung-over, sometimes while there are other enemies around, whose attacks you have NO CHANCE of avoiding in this state? WHY does Conker have to come to a standstill every two meters to puke? Why even have the hung-over state at all if all it does is annoy players and drag the game out? WHY,WHY,WHY. Why a lot of things. Why is the move set so limited compared to Rare games that came out before, like Banjo-Kazooie? Why do you take fall damage even from ridiculously low heights? Even though I know exactly what the game wants me to do, I just cannot accomplish it and I have no idea what I'm doing wrong because things just don't work as you would expect? (Thinking of the caveman disco here)

    Frankly, the game is just not fun. And like Reggie said: "If the game's not fun, why bother?" Which is a downright shame, because the cutscenes (and the characters in them) are A LOT of fun, but the gameplay in between is mediocre at best and unnerving, frustrating, unfair and completely defect at worst. Seems to me like all the resources, ideas and energy were put into the jokes, and the game is just a hastily put-together vehicle for them.

    If you are like me and you have fond memories of this game and want to revisit them by digging up your N64 and popping this cartridge in: Don't. Keep your fond memories. Watch a cutscenes supercut on Youtube, but don't give yourself the torture of actually playing this.    … Expand

    This game has Soul. If you look up soul in the dictionary, Conker's Bad Fur Day will be right next to it. The game looks the best out of any N64 game. The soundtrack is amazing. The characters are all original and memorable. Its is a masterpiece. The gameplay is great, but not revolutionary. It is the only thing that barely holds it back from perfection. My score is 9.7/10.

There is barely any coherent story as it is an amalgamation of movies like Terminator, The Godfather, Saving Private Ryan, The Exorcist, Dracula, etc. except for "Conker f'ed up and tries to get back his girlfriend" but the overall stages are absolutely not connected to the others and when it comes to the gameplay there is so much to complain from a technical standpoint and the lack of making it intuitive - as a matter of fact the greatest flaw, that I do not even want to start talking about it. It is funny and should be played once. But it is not worth the 200 bucks that it costs today. But the price is only there for other people to say "oh my god you have this scandalous foul-mouthed and expensive game" anyway not because it is the non plus ultra of gaming. If you want it because you want a good N64 game better buy something else like Zelda or Mario games or one of the many other better working games on the system.

    The description of some people here in the ratings definitely does not suit the game. Not because I cannot accept opinions but because of what the game factually is and how certain words are defined. E.g. you would have to play really badly programmed games to say this game has great controls. And I must know it since I am a computer scientist AND am playing games for about 25 years.    … Expand

    It is a short game all things considered, but that doesn't makes this game bad, since the game lack of variety of gameplay would make a longer version of this game a very repetitive one.
    i can't imagine the n64 without this game, not because is edgy and gory, or cuz there are film references here and there. But because this game is really well paced and cutscenes never felt extra.

    This was one of my favorite games as a kid and while the story still holds up well and the dialogue had some incredibly well delivered and nostalgia inducing lines, the controls and camera are really difficult to go back to. I tried the Rare Replay Xbox version as well and the camera is still really difficult compared to modern games (which may be an unfair comparison).    8/21/21-9/4/21

I tried the Rare Replay Xbox version as well and the camera is still really difficult compared to modern games (which may be an unfair comparison).

    I was ready to give this a perfect score after I heard the first lines spoken in the game, but after accidently falling off of Bat's Tower and having to climb all the way back up or getting through the brutal fan blade section only to realize I needed to have more money an would have to do it all over again, I was really frustrated. Game designers of yore did not give a care whether or not you had fun or got upset. Don't agree? Just wait until the final boss battle. I struggled with it as a kid and twenty years of playing video games did not make it any easier.

    All that aside, I would still recommend it to anyone who hasn't played it because it is an extremely funny classic of a game. Just know what you are getting in to if you revisit it like I did. I'm going to try the Live and Reloaded version as well, hopefully I won't have the same concerns.    … Expand

    You will almost never get tired of playing Conker, as there are few tedious spots in the game. BFD terrifically spoofs such movies as "The Matrix," "Saving Private Ryan," "A Clockwork Orange," "The Untouchables," "Alien," "Star Wars," "Dr. Strangelove," and more.
