Conker breaks all the rules in Conker's bad fur day. It's one of the best N64 games of all time.

Conker is a little squirrel who must stop the Panther King before he takes over the world. Conker must find his way home and meet up with Barry. But this isn't just a kiddy game. CBFD is a raunchy adult game with ironic colorful cartoon graphics.

GAMEPLAY

Conker unlike other 3D platformers at the time doesn't rely on collect-a-thons but rather solving riddles and puzzles. This gives SO MUCH to the narrative. Conker will go up to NPC's and perform favors in return for anthropomorphic money. Hijinks will ensue. This being said combat boils down to context rather than attack. This may not be fun as say Banjo but it moves quite a long well.

Conker will fly with his tail to elevate to platforms. Each level will be a reference to a movie. From Matrix, Private Ryan to Clockwork Orange. This game has it all.

Conker gains health and life by tails and chocolate.

Cutscenes cannot be skipped. This is makes some levels unnerving.

GRAPHICS

The Graphics of Conker's Bad Fur Day are insane. The best graphics the console has to offer. Every drop of power the 64 has is spent on this game. The art is cute but is bloody, sexual, and violent.

Every polygon is spent on Conker and every character.

You will see baked lighting textures. They are super sharp and superior.

The animation helps make the Conker come to life. Everything has amazing kinetic animation that gives the game an almost timeless appeal. Visuals that wouldn't look out of place 2001 PS2 game. As a result the resolution and frame rate suffer.

If CBFD was any proof of what George Wood claimed that the N64 could produce Toy Story Quality graphics Conker would be it.

SOUND

The sound in Conker's Bad Fur Day is amazing. You will hear swearing, British voices, and the great mighty poo. This makes the game hilarious.

The music ironically cheerful to.

OVERALL

Conker's Bad fur day is really worth a buy.
