No lie, a must play, even if your under 17.
coronadobros24 September 2020
All these 1 star reviews here a bull. This game, is by far, not only one of the most comedic games ever made, but it also holds a deeper meaning than just trying to be M rated. The over all message of the story is incredible, and the ending will send chills up your spine. The multiple movie references as well are fresh, especially for a n64 title. And while it takes a bit to get up into the full story, this game is filled to the brim with the best sound, graphics, and overall gameplay. Screw Pocket Tales! This is where Conker is really at.

The Best Nintendo game EVER!!!!
Javi-256 April 2001
I never knew that Nintendo will let Rare create Conker's Bad Fur day. It is the most vulgar, sexual, violent, and most funniest game ever made. It has 10-10 graphics, and sweet voices. This game can beat c.ds of Playstation 2 (believe me, I have the Playstation 2). I'll give this game a 1,000 out of 1,000.

Funnier than most movie comedies out today
cheeseboy8029 April 2001
This is the most disgusting game ever made for an Nintendo system and funnier than most movies out today especially the dumb teen flicks that people already seen dozens of times already. This is original and the jokes are original, not dull and boring. The Matrix level is a classic.

I give this game 10 out of 10

Fun Multiplayer
gangstahippie10 March 2008
Rated M for Graphic Violence,Language,Crude & Sexual Humor

Conker's Bad Fur Day is a very fun N64 game.The funny thing about this game is, Conker was a kiddie character.He was even in the game Diddy Kong Racing.But Coker's Bad Fur Day is not for kids.There is plenty of blood,violence,sexual humor and swearing(though it is bleeped out).The multiplayer is the best part of this game.You can play as four characters in different stages and just kill the hell out of each other with various different weapons.Its very fun and I still play it.If you like violent video games, then you should play Conker's Bad Fur Day but parents, don't buy this for your kids and then complain about it.

A game of light-hearted fun and hilarity
LucaElliot1231 August 2014
Conker's Bad Fur Day is the best N64 game in the world, screw Mario 64, play Conker's Bad Fur Day, the game follows Conker the Squirrel having a drinking contest, then when he had a horrible hangover, he immediately appeared on a distant planet where he must get back to his girlfriend Berrie. Then he must fight Great Mighty Poo and Panther King.

The best thing about this game is the controls that works fine, good audio and voice acting, pretty graphics and non-stop humor, this game is really the best game in history. The only problem in this game is the camera that doesn't focus probably, but this sexual-violent funny game can make you change you mind,

10/10

Wow. Thats a fun one..
HungryforCheese13 November 2020
Don't let your kids play it. Actually scratch that. They'll find away. Just take me for example. In some ways clunky and dated, but mostly fun and hysterical.

An interactive Ralph Bakshi movie
nyarnebbanot18 March 2024
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.

A fitting crowning on the Nintendo's 64 life
minorxml15 August 2010
Warning: Spoilers
Ah what a game! One of the best graphics on a Nintendo 64 combined with great audio just great audio. Very nice music great work in voice and the casting of the characters. The influences that made this game it captured time like a capsule. Nintendo is not known to be the platform with the grown up games. And originally it would be a cutesy children game. Luckily for us grown ups that like bad potty humor, crude jokes and innuendo they choose different. And oh my what a game! It is relative short and finding a cartridge is not easy. They are quite expensive (guess why!) but the moment you put the Cardridge in your N64. Start up the game you are reminded that this game is special. In the first screens already a Nintendo 64 logo is cut open with a chainsaw. To be replaced with a shiny Rare logo by Conker. Oh yes! You read that good this is not your average game. Followed by a scene heavily influenced by A Clockworks Orange, a rather sickening movie.

Followed is a game full of sexual innuendo, poop jokes, insane character and Funny references. Play it! Play the original if you can because it is so much better. Worth putting good money on the cartridge. The only sorrow the original is well cartridge based. And expensive..

It is worth a 10 just for being what it is. A great game not for children.

A Swell Platforming Time
brandonbales31 May 2002
This game is a whole lot of fun for fans of platforming games like Mario 64 or Banjo-Kazooie.

The tone of the games is usually "mature" (re: fart jokes, drunkenness [which is very different, you must admit, for a game found on a Nintendo system]), so some might see it as purile, but it's always entertaining - simply because they always commit wholeheartedly.

The games is broken up into seemingly unrelated parts that can sometimes confuse as to their purpose, but, in the end, the whole is more than the sum. This is achieved by the legendary Rare with consistently varied and exciting gameplay.

If you're still looking for a good time for your good old Nintendo 64, you're sure to find it in Conker's Bad Fur Day. It truly is a technical marvel for the aging system, and it's a always a zippy little ride.

A must-have for N64 owners!
linkinpark700716 December 2001
This game will go down to be one of the most memorable games for the N64. The most unique thing about the game is how well it parodies certain movies like Saving Private Ryan, The Exorcist, The Untouchables, etc. So if you got the system and you like MATURE-RATED games you'll love this one!

Conker's Bad Fur Day (2001) Review
w_bignell51317 April 2023
While it certainly has it's flaws, the attention to detail Rareware has given Conker's Bad Fur Day is anything but second rate. Even more remarkable is that it was all done on an N64 cartridge.

The gameplay is not only simple and attractive, it actually achieves some of the symphonic dignity (and cross-referencing) that other N64 titles simulated so tediously.

With its technological mastery and its subversive humor, this is a kitsch masterpiece, taken too seriously by definition, but not without charm.

I may have grown tired of playing video games as I've gotten older, but Conker's Bad Fur Day holds up as one the best N64 titles, and video games in general.

The one thing I think that hold's it back is the limitations of the N64, which made the game feel sort of lacking in ways. Modders need to find a way to add more levels and multiplayer features to the game to extend it's life.

To bad we never got a proper sequel. Unless you count Live & Reloaded, "(Which of course it isn't.)"

So in conclusion, if you haven't played it, find a way to play it, and experience what this foul mouth Squirrel and his friends have to offer.

As Conker would say, "Marvelous."

(B+)

This Game Killed Conker
jennywalterfony28 August 2015
He was a character who probably showed potential during his debut. I even thought he was destined for super stardom. But following a fatal mistake applied to him by Rare, we may never know.

Some games are aimed at kids, while others are aimed at mature gamers. But in Conker's case, he first two games are targeted at children before the game makers made the unorthodox decision in going to the other direction for the next two.

Apparently, Conker didn't score well in those mature games, judging by the disappointing sales of Conker's Bad Fur Day. And because Rare did not give the character a sequel or even fixed his personality, the bushy-tailed rodent was just about forgotten. Perhaps Conker would have sold way better had he stayed being in kids' games.

By contrast, other Rare characters like Banjo and Kazooie were never altered. Because of that, those two continue to make games with good sales, therefore keeping their popularity up. I guess this goes to show that it's best never to alter characters, especially if their previous games have a good or at least fair reception. Also, games appear to sell better when marketed to kids or all ages.

Games aimed at mature audiences can be marketable too, that is if the characters are designed for that nature from the start.

In light of the events that occurred, Banjo and Kazooie will remain being Rare's most famous characters, and Conker will likely end up in the video game wasteland.

So it comes to this
Komplex Intelligence11 April 2001
After they made Banjo-kazooie and Donkey Kong 64 I remember them saying they were going to make another game with one of the characters from Diddy kong racing, with a squirell named Conker. Now basically I had heard nothing of the content of the new game until I saw the rating on the box and the picture of Conker with a beer. And people that did know told me to steer clear of this one. Immediately I convinced my parents to rent the game, Conkers BFD. I was thinking, "How far would Nintendo and Rare go to make a mature audience game". Sure enough this was the funniest crudest game I have played since Clayfighter 63 1/3. Nowhere else can I play a game where you get drunk and p**s on people or fight an opera singing boss made entirely out of S**t. Unlike Banjo-Kazooie, not only does it have strong language, bathroom humor, and even a bit of sexual themes, but you also don't spend endless searches for items and stuff to get what you need to defeat the boss. Instead it consists of context sensitive zones that just gives you what you need.

Also lots of scenes from different movies in the game that will make most adults laugh as well. I highly recommend you play this game. Great graphics for a game that doesn't use the expansion pack and cut scenes as well with good voice overs (hence the british accents). And the best multiplayer Rare has given in a while. Even if some of the gross humor might come as silly and ignorant you will like it nonetheless. Overall you should go and get the total experince that is Conker, who has come a long way from a boring racing game.

It's About Time
bigcatz1426 May 2001
Yep, it's about time Nintendo made a quality game. It's catered too much towards little kids by making about one adult game a year (i.e. Turok, Perfect Dark, etc.) But enjoyment is not reached entirely through Conker's violence, but it has great graphics, challenging levels, a wide variety of multi-player games, and hilarious situations. Some of the toilet humor in Conker is stuff that hasn't been seen before! And it spoofs some of the most classic and favorite movies of all time, including Terminator, Aliens, Dracula, and The Matrix. It's a definite must-have for people who don't mind offensive humor. I've heard there's a sequel coming out and I can't wait!

Crude but it's still funny
Josephpr19901 June 2023
I started playing Conker's Bad Fur Day for the first time on Microsoft Xbox One as Rare Replay in August 2018. I finished it in October/November same year so I took a break from playing it about few times I think. It's kinda crude and violent but it's a great game This game may look cartoonish and funny but it's definitely NOT for kids because it has lots of coarse language, violence, alcohol, tobacco and naughty stuff as we know.

In 2001, I hadn't realised why the British video game developer Rare decided to make an adult video game featuring Conker for the N64. I even thought Conker was a family-friendly franchise like Conker's Pocket Tales which was released for Nintendo Game Boy Color in 1999.

Anyway it's probably one of the best adult video games of all time and it's probably one of the funniest video games of all time as well.

Awesome game and definitely a hidden gem
rvhkhytb2 August 2023
Warning: Spoilers
So the story is that Conker is at a bar and is so drunk he ends up getting lost. Just when I saw this on my TV I knew this was gonna be a great time. And right I was, sure this game is M but I would definitely recommend to get this game when you're 18. So Panther king has a broken leg on his stool, so he decides to make Conker the replacement. So he decides to go and make sure he isn't gonna be a leg chair. So he went off to try and defeat the panther king. And that's how the adventure was born I won't say anything about the story. But I will tell you how great the game is the controls can be a bit wonky at times. But that can be fixed easily and here's how. The better running better looking version on the of Xbox, and can even be played on the Xbox series X. So I still think the original is great. But I would still the recommend the one on the Xbox. Unless your a retro gamer like me.

The Dirtiest Video Game In History
twotailedgoldenretriever10 August 2015
After two promising decent games in Diddy Kong Racing and Conker's Pocket Tales, Conker was to appear again in Twelve Tales: Conker 64 which is also decent. But before the third game could ever be released, the game developers were already getting vicious taunts from hecklers regarding them and the game. Apparently, the game developers listened to the hecklers, and therefore fell into what later turned into a trap. They changed the really nice Twelve Tales: Conker 64 into the utterly dirty Conker's Bad Fur Day. I have seen a number dirty games in the past but none are as dirty this one.

Why was listening to the hecklers such a trap? When the dirty game was released, sure it was given some thumbs up. But all those positive responses would be meaningless as the number of buyers are less than inadequate. True, there are a handful of likers who embrace it in such an obsessed manner but that doesn't imply that the game is popular which it may never be. Nintendo might have taken a lost, considering how much it costs to make the game's cartridges.

But what if Twelve Tales: Conker 64 was released instead of its disgusting replacement? Needless to say that one might have been a super hit because it's suitable for all ages. Perhaps that explains the successes of nice games like Diddy Kong Racing and Banjo-Kazooie. Also, Conker might have stood on top of Nintendo's mountain alongside Mario and Donkey Kong. Sadly, that never happened.

I Wish They Bring The Nice Conker Back
putsyheartlazio1 September 2015
When a creator creates a media for children, that's how everything related to it is going to be all the way. This was not the case for Rare as they corrupted a nice cute character who was initially applied in children's games. How can they do this? No one would do something that deranged. The little gamers who adored that squirrel through his first and second games may have lost their love for him because of the ugly change Rare put upon him and this game.

Sure the squirrel still looks the same. But deep down, he a very different fellow with a twisted mind. Rare thought this strange change would help the game commercially but it didn't. The commercial fiasco also indicates that Conker's star power may never improve.

I wish they bring the nice Conker back. Perhaps that would sell better and even help regain Conker's lost popularity. Why is this a good idea? Banjo and Kazooie have always been presented with such decency. Because of that, those two have three games that are best sellers.

Young Conker Fans Might Have Been Greatly Disappointed
ramon-rodriguez3111 August 2015
Young gamers probably adored that squirrel when he debuted in Diddy Kong Racing, and appearing in his first solo game in Conker's Pocket Tales. When it was announced that Conker would appear again in what could have been Conker 64, the young gamers were perhaps looking forward to it. But when Rare suddenly came up with the bizarre decision of changing Conker 64 into the unspeakably crude Conker's Bad Fur Day, those gaming kids were probably quite disappointed either because of the replacement game's obscenities, or their parents discouraged them from playing or even looking at it. To make matter's worse, Rare never again bothered to make a Conker game that's family friendly, thus alienating the young gamers who make up much of the character's fan base.

Why did Rare turned a nice child's character into such a demented fellow indulged in vices? A convincing answer has yet to be given. But what Rare did to poor Conky is like turning a sweet kid into a hideous and vicious monster. If they need a character for audiences who enjoy such crudities, it's best to make another one.

One may claim that crude game is one of the greatest Nintendo games. I guess that maybe true, although I don't see the game's name on the list of great Nintendo games in Wikipedia.

An Absolute Abomination In Video Gaming
yeyeandzook17 April 2016
If there's anything more sick than a disgusting video game, it's a disgusting video game featuring a corrupted character who used to be nice and decent. Don't think I hate mature games. I do appreciate a few games with such mature stuff. I just don't like the idea of transforming a cute children's character into an obscene psychotic. In fact, doing so is about as sick as the way some programmers created a nefarious version of Elmo on the internet.

So Rare decided to make something that would appeal to demented players. If they want to, they could just create a new critter from scratch. But they made this really bizarre decision they probably should regret or be ashamed of. While Conker's Bad Fur Day garnered some praise from game reviewers as well as some accolades, it was a commercial flop. The way the game flopped was perhaps so bad that Nintendo ended association with Rare. Rare was never the same promising company after that. I guess it would make better sense had they release that family-friendly Twelve Tales: Conker 64. Games catered to all audiences will always market better. Abominations like this one are destined to be forgotten.

Conker's Hopes For Stardom Come To An End. Maybe For Good.
henryhuggledragster3 September 2015
When the game Diddy Kong Racing was released for the Nintendo 64, it was a big hit as it sold millions of copies. Following the game's release, characters there like Banjo, Kazooie, and Conker would go on to appear in separate games. While Banjo and Kazooie would experienced big sales over the years, Conker would fade away.

What's wrong with Conker? After the character appeared in two decent games, Rare made a really strange move in presenting Conker in a game involving dirty humor. While the dirty game would get some positive reviews, it was a bomb in the market.

Some sources state that Rare's decision to corrupt Conker was a response to the way certain game fanatics ridiculed them for making games that are cutesy or childish. I don't think the ridiculing they got should matter to them because family-friendly games continue to be very marketable. Characters like Mario and Sonic have enjoyed seemingly endless fame because they are aimed at all ages.

Also, I don't think presenting Conker in mature games would be beneficial to the character. I mean a remake of this game was release for the Xbox. Unfortunately, the remake wasn't a best seller, and didn't even achieve platinum hit status.

Well unless Rare cleans Conker up, it'll be the end of the road for that squirrel. Cute but corrupted. Disgustingness and pervertedness are destined to be shunned.

One Of The Ugliest Things I've Seen In Video Games
gregoryofthepillar4 August 2015
As a child I began playing video games regularly when I was in first grade. I then got familiar with famous video game characters like Mario and Sonic. Although I knew many characters in my day, I never knew Conker. In fact I only heard of him only about two months ago. Why is such a cute character that's been around for more than a decade still in the shadows?

Conker first debut in Diddy Kong Racing. Like most Nintendo characters, he was initially designed to be family-friendly. His next game, Conker's Pocket Tales, would be his last outing being suited for all ages. Then came an announcement of another family-friendly game of his which would be released on the Nintendo 64. While that N64 game was only days away from hitting markets, critics already gave their reviews. Game developer Rare took the criticism personally and decided to give the squirrel a bizarre makeover. If there's anything I hate, it's turning a nice friendly critter to a deranged sicko. If Rare needed someone to be aimed at the adult market, they could have created another character rather than corrupting one that's targeted at children.

Yes, Conker's Bad Fur Day, which was aimed at mature audiences, got a lot thumbs up from reviewers. But all those praises would only matter a little when the game performed miserably in the market. Perhaps that other game Rare changed for this one might have sold better.

I wish Rare would bring back the nice family-friendly Conker. If Rare continues to present this deranged version of him, Conker will forever remain being an obscure character. He'll never even achieve half the star power of great characters like Mario and Sonic.

Filthy and forgotten. If that's how those developers want him to be, then let him stay that way.
fakeguyastimmyturner7 September 2015
What kind of game developers would turn a nice decent character into a deranged freak? That's the case of the poor squirrel who was once adored by young audiences prior to being corrupted. The developers made that bizarre decision just to fare well with critics. But was the "new" character a commercial success and did it improve his popularity? No.

If you want your game to make great sales, it should be aimed at audiences at all ages. A media featuring a deranged character as well as various obscene themes is certain to flop at the market 80% of the time. Never mind what detractors say on what you do for a long time. If what you been doing is selling fairly, then it's best to maintain that trend.

Poor Conky. Kids certainly missed the clean cute critter you once were. I can only hope those developers reconsider.
