Conker's Bad Fur Day (Nintendo 64)

Nintendo has boldly gone where only cows and Bandini have gone before. This controversial M-Rated classic features a corn-loving pile of crap with an affinity for opera and revolutionary pee stream technology. Need I say more?

Critic Reviews

100 Core Magazine
Now hold on to your colons and prepare to experience one of the craziest, dirtiest, most offensive 3-D platformers you've ever seen - and be ready to laugh your a** off every step of the way.
100 GamePro
It's a brilliantly bizarre, insanely fun 3D-platformer extraordinaire, and a wonderfully ironic swan song for the N64.
99 Nintendojo
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.
99 Gaming Maxx
It absolutely is the best looking, sounding, and playing N64 game. It should not be missed.
99 IGN
A spectacularly creative, wonderfully satisfying 3D action-platformer that -- ass joke and bloody messes encapsulated -- shines with Nintendo's very best.
95 Electric Playground
There’s poo humor galore, but there’s also sly satire, clever parody and deep belly-laughs aplenty. To say nothing of the challenging gameplay, engaging storyline and whacked-out characters.
95 Nintendophiles
It is one of Nintendo 64’s most fun and hilarious games of all time. Not only does the game have one of Nintendo 64’s best Single Player experience it also is home to one of the most addicting, and again hilarious Multiplayer games ever created.
95 Da Gameboyz
Wonderful. While raunchy (at times to the point of stomach turning) and offensive to nearly anyone, you have to understand it's all in good fun.
93 GameSpot
The premise of the game is gimmicky, but after its sordid skin is peeled away, a true gem of a 3D platformer is revealed.
90 Hot Games
You can't help shake the feeling that Rare threw offensive material into the game merely for the sake of offending. Once you get over your initial shock at so much swearing, you'll find a competent game with great humor hidden among all the fart jokes.
90 Happy Puppy
If you own an N64 and are of legal age, pick this game up immediately. It is the most fun I've ever had with a platform game, and it's also one of the most challenging.
90 GameShark
Quite possibly is the best N64 game ever. Forget "Golden Eye," "Perfect Dark," and "Zelda"...they don't even compare to Conker's.
90 Spank!
Witty, knowing, referential, and above all supremely playable, Conker is an absolute corker.
88 Games Radar UK (Pre-2006)
Think what you like about the exploding cows, obsession with poo and constant profanity, but this is witty with it, and there's not one point where you'll find the game's programmers being rude without a sense of humour.
88 Daily Radar
A game published by Nintendo where players avoid globs of feces and urinate on flaming demons is something that simply has to make you laugh.
85 Electronic Gaming Monthly
"We're mature!" No, you're not. You're just a fun action/shooter/junior-high simulator. [Jan 2004, p.189]
83 Gaming Age
Since the game is relatively short (under 10 hours for most players), I have to wonder if Rare didn't try to compensate for this shortcoming by making some of the areas insanely difficult to beat.
83 Game Revolution
Makes you chuckle and drives you to keep playing. I would have liked some deeper action or at least a longer experience, but this is still certainly worth the investment. Now where did I put that Bloody Mary mix?
60 Maxim Online
Hilariously crude.
