Conker: Live & Reloaded

"Conker Wins"

Conker originally came out back in 2001 as Conker's Bad Fur Day on the N64, but with GC coming out it didn't sell well despite the fact that it was one of the funniest and best games on the system. It's now back as Conker: Live & Reloaded. Conker: Live & Reloaded came out in June, 2006. It was a remake of the original Conker's Bad Fur Day, but with the improvements and the great new multiplayer add-on, makes this an excellent game for Xbox owners. You might even think this is one of the best games on the Xbox. And it doesn't disappoint at all.

The single player portion of the game is just the original Conker's Bad Fur Day with little improvements or changes here and there. The game has now bleeped out more cusswords then the original, but it still has plenty of language. The game play is fun and interesting, as all levels are fully explorable and huge. The combat could have improved more, though actually the B-pads (context sensetive pads) give a wide amount of weapons and actions you can perform.


But the best part is the hilarious cutscenes, THIS GAME IS DAMN FUNNY! Some parts will even have you holding your stomachs, or rolling on the floor. It's characters move without a single strange movement, and always delivers a spectacular performance. This is because of the perfect graphics

Single Player: 9.8/10

The game has definatley the best graphics ever seen on any game. The fur on Conker blows in the wind, gets wet with water droplets dripping down- every single hair is drawn out. All the levels and characters are also extremely detailed and great to look at. Everything is almost designed as well as Conker himself. This game has unbelievable graphics.

Graphics: 10/10

The sound of this game is also really good, like other Rare games. All the music in the game is catchy and wonderful. It can be sad, funny, cool, jazzy, catchy, depending on the situation. The voice of the characters is done very well too. All characters have unique voices and hilarious voices.

Sound: 9.5/10

The new multiplayer is really good as well. There are 6 classes to choose from- the Grunt, Long Ranger, Demolisher, Sky Jockey, Sneeker and Thermophile. The Grunt are the all- rounders, the Sneeker are the stealth using combat units with the deadly blade, the Demolishers are the heavy weapon guys carrying the bazooka, the longrangers are the master of the sniper, Thermophiles are the crazy flamethrowers and finally, the Sky Jocky are the ones that dominate using their Ariel vehicles. The fun comes in when you find the class that best fits you, as all of them are different with there own distinct weapons, abilities and vehicles. The Maps are huge and unique in a way. Overall the multiplayer is great, with tons of replayability. I don't have Live so I don't know if it's better or not, but I think it definitely will increase the replayability.

Multiplayer: 9.8/10

Overall this game is a must have game for all Xbox gamers, with tons of replayability. Buy or rent? Make sure you can handle the content first. If you can, then GO GET IT NOW!!! It'll be well worth the try.

Overall: 9.9/10
