    Honestly i love this game it's a fun cluster of absolute madness.
    Back in the day it's maturity level was really high but now it's tolerable like doom.
    Now the blood/"gore" level is tolerable. (Nothing uncomfortable) Also the sexual refences are really funny but can be a little repetitive at times. Music is literally a bop all the way, it's actually amazing I found my self jamming out    Honestly i love this game it's a fun cluster of absolute madness.

    This game is the funniest thing I've ever played, the game has something new around every single corner, for 2/3 of the game it is peak 3D platforming, up there with Mario Odyssey and Banjo Kazooie for me, it's that last third of the game that holds it back a bit, but the humour is still there in that section.

    Greatest game of all time. Genuinely, I’ve replayed this game over 5 times and it never gets old. Sure, the controls aren’t the best, and the game has its fair share of flaws. But even with that, it’s the greatest game I’ve ever played. I wish this game could’ve gotten a sequel like it was planned to.

    Conker's Bad Fur Day has to be one of the best Nintendo 64 games ever!

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

    OK, Conker is a good game, actually!Sure it got curses, sexual themes(not that much),a bit bloody violence, a lot of f*****g toilet humor, that makes me sick!Whatever the funny gameplay is filled with film parodies, the M content and FUNNY SONGS(the Great Mighty Poo!).CBFD is a good game and a must-have not only for the N64, but for any console!!

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

    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.

    One of the greatest games I've ever played. There are a few flaws and it's aged a bit at a few areas. But for one of the last N64 games to be released, it's a very well constructed game. The writing isn't really good, but it's not suppose to be. It's funny, colorful, has a great soundtrack, and controls like a charm, including the camera.

    Outstanding game that does’nt play it „safe“. The storyline is really stupid but in a good way. The characters are fun to interact with and have unique personalities. The soundtrack bangs (as always).

    Can’t really give this a 10 because this is a really hard game (mostly due to the horrible controls). Even entering the cheat code for the „very easy“ mode did basically nothing.

No, because the game gave you no sense of depth when the game demands a pinpoint landing on top of a platform in mid-air. Or because the camera often suddenly decides to take a 90 degree turn while you are crawling on a ledge making you suddenly jump off just like that... And there's just no worse feeling than battling a games camera and controls, especially when you are playing a platformer.

    Ok, so if you can get past that without destroying your controller (I almost did several times) you will have one helluwa ride. The game has so many neat little details and the diversity of gameplay is unmatched, even in most games of today (2020). The potty humor is right up my alley. The cutscenes are entertatining so say the least. And you haven't lived until you've seen a giant opera-singing poop-monster.

    And make no mistake. This is not a game for kids. There's not only a lot of bad language and blood. There's also... Um... Things or a more erotic nature.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. WARNING: THIS GAME HAS BEEN GIVEN AN "M" RATING BY THE ESRB. AS A RESULT, IT MAY CONTAIN BLOOD, GORE, SWEARING, VIOLENCE, INNUENDOS AND MORE. NOT FOR ANYONE UNDER 17 YEARS OF AGE

    In 2001, before motion control sports and childhood-ruining third installments, Rare was making a killing off of developing games for Nintendo. One of these games released during this time period was Twelve Tales: Conker 64...At least, that was what it was called...in 1998. Now entitled Conker's Bad Fur day, this was a Nintendo 64 game that sold poorly, likely because it released late into the console's life, and other reasons, which I'll get to in a bit. It was one of the last titles Rare developed for a Nintendo console. So is this the last hurrah of a game company as I knew and loved it, or is this literally a Bad Fur Day?

    One night, Conker is at a bar, intoxicated as you would guess, when he rings up his Lola the Rabbit look-a-like girlfriend Berri. He tells her that he'll be home soon but he goes in the wrong direction, not because he forgot the way but because he's drunk as hell, and ends up in the kingdom of the Panther king. We then see said Panther king drinking milk when his table breaks, spilling his milk. He then orders his local scientist, Professor Von Kriplespac, to fix the table and they devise a plan to capture Conker and use him to hold up the table. The plot is ridiculous and funny...until it becomes 1% less funny when Berri gets kidnapped. Gotta fill the cliché bar, eh guys?

    This game looks really damn good for an N64 game. Of course the graphics have aged slightly, but it still has a nice look to it. The animations are surprisingly detailed, if a bit stiff, and the environments don't look too shabby. The soundtrack is great. My favorites have to be Windy and Co., Rock Solid, and, of course, The Great Mighty Poo's Opera. What's REALLY impressive is how they fit a busload of voice acting into a cartridge! A CARTRIDGE!!!!

    The gameplay, however, is what docks this game some points. It's your typical platformer affair. You can run, jump, and kill enemies. There are also some puzzles which are...okay. They are often creative and yield some VERY hilarious results, but they take a large amount of trial and error. The game features an overworld where you can transition from one level to another, although many are initially blocked off until Conker earns a certain amount of cash. Yes, in this game, you're main and really only collectable is cash. You can earn cash from beating puzzles or levels. Almost all the levels parody some sort of movie such as Terminator, Terminator 2, Jaws, The Matrix, Saving Privet Ryan, and even Ridley Scott's Alien. The controls work well enough, but jumping is slightly delayed which can often be frustrating. What I REALLY hate is the slowdown. Sometimes, the game can slow down to about 15 to 24 frames per second. Does it ruin the game? No, but once I noticed it, it was hard to un-notice it.

    Overall, Conker's Bad Fur Day is a DELIGHTFUL platformer. That really stands on its own. While it has some issues, You are almost guaranteed a good time. The original game is somewhat of a rarity, and while there has been a remake for the original Xbox, you're best bet is to play this using the Rare Replay compilation for the Xbox One. jetpacks and Butlers, here we come.    … Expand

    The game's pros and cons from top to bottom:

    Pro: Great presentation all around: Obviously this game is old as hell now, but it looks great for N64 and the soundtrack and voice acting are both awesome for the era.
    Con: Several overly-tricky spots: The bunker escape with extremely difficult laser traps is very frustrating, also the sewer swimming area and the Bull boss.
    Con: The story mode eventually gets too linear: the game starts out feeling a bit open-world and ends feeling like you're running from cutscene to cutscene.
    Pro: Surprisingly good multiplayer, would be nice to see more levels for the better multiplayer games.
    Con: Not all of the humour hits home - for some it will be the sexist stuff, for some it might be the potty jokes - for me it’s the violence, Conker’s reaction to random “nice” characters dying is almost sadistic.

    Replay value:
    It's short and sweet, I probably spent 25 hours or so trying to beat the story. I’d say the overall replay value on Conker is “ok”, there’s the money collectibles to pick up but not a lot else unless you have a friend that’s up for the multiplayer. Challenge level is very high later in the single player mode.

    Dollar Value: I'd pay around $40 Canadian ($30 US as of this writing), used copies are going for way more than that, so I suggest trying to find Rare Replay for Xbox.    … Expand

Many times I was led to give up a stage for two or three days until I felt able to try again. Being a 2000's game, therefore a late console title, it took advantage of everything the Nintendo 64 had to offer. Despite the purposefully chaotic plot, and that several times does not pass of a great nonsense, the game has a strong point that perhaps is not much commented: the soundtrack. Especially against the "poop boss", the soundtrack surprises and turns the gameplay into something much more enjoyable. Full of real challenges and with an unusual proposal for the Nintendo universe, this game fulfills its role very well.… Expand

    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.

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

    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).

    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

    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.

    Contrario a lo que la mayoría opina, no me parece que este juego sea una joya incomprendida. Entiendo que sus toques de humor negro y parodia hayan sido una revolución en la época, pero a nivel jugable realmente no tiene nada para ofrecer que no hagan otros exponentes del género. Lo que si, al ser un juego de la antigua Rare, se lo nota muy bien pulido.

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

    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

    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.
