Advantages: Comical, graphics

Disadvantages: short

After a hard night out, Conker wakes up in a dazed state, and embarks on one of the most hilarious, action-filled adventures ever seen in a videogame.

It looks similiar to a traditional 3D platformer, but discards all the nonsense item-collecting. Making cold hard cash is your only objective, and Conker will do whatever it takes, whether it be facing up against a crazed, angry pitchfork, or venturing into a giant world of poo!

While Conker has copped much of the flak for the game's outlandish nature, it's the warped cast of characters that are the real perpetrators here. Almost every scene is a memorable moment fit for a MA+ Kodak commerical, as bloody violence, sexual inuendo, countless movie parodies, and plenty of cursin' rolls out in front of your eyes.

Visually, the game pushes the limits of the N64 hardware, with vibrant, detailed worlds and fantastic character design. The sound is also outstanding, with fitting background effects and unbelievable character speech, boosting the game's personality by ten-fold.

It isn't all roses, however, with camera troubles and sloppy third-person shooter execution in certain areas. It's at worst during the graveyard scene, where zombies charge from higher ground, Conker helpless to see them. While clear thought has also gone into providing varied multiplayer options, many also seem a little underdone too.

Short, but infinitely sweet and soaked in fun-filled hilarity, Bad Fur Day is the most enjoyable gaming experience I've had in a very long time. Deprive yourself of this game, and you're a freakin' idiot!
