The concept of Conker's Bad Fur Day is perfect.
A creative and interesting narrative with a lot of humour, providing an amazing variety of gameplay, with some sessions fitting their own exclusive genre. Truly a unique experience, which is the one thing I look the most for when playing a videogame.
The problem with the game though, is that exaggerates too much in the whole "adult-oriented" idea. Pretty much everything in here has to be about shit, tits or asses.
It also exaggerates in the movie references, but this is something that if the person is not familiar with it, it's just gonna be a cool moment. The reason why it might be a problem it's mostly because it sounds lazy. Which wouldn't be the case if the game was more creative with it's references, but sometimes they're completely replaceable, so in that case would be better to just provide an original moment instead of copying one. Also, did the final boss really had to be another movie reference? Come on, it's the final boss.
But yeah, overall a great game.
Unlike it's predecessors 3D platformers on the system, the camera here is simply perfect. Controls feel great too, even though some people have a problem with them when it comes to the first-person shooter sessions, but I didn't mind it at all.
Again cutting ties with it's predecessors, this is not a collect-a-thon. But there is a lot of pure-platforming sessions here that make sure to remind you that this is indeed a 3D platform.
The story has it's highs and lows, just like the comedy, but it never fails to be interesting and charming due to the uniqueness of the game. I was excited the whole time to find out what comes next. And the most important part, the ending, was tremendously good.
All the gameplay sessions work great too. My favorite in that regard is probably the Spooky chapter.
Boss battles are cool, with one of them being extremely unique.
Soundtrack is pretty good. It would be better if there was a new song in the Uga Buga chapter's section instead of a remake of the overworld theme, but because it's so well done you don't really care.
It's really sad that we never got to see the sequel that Rare planed to do, because I think it would have a decent potential to be even better.
