I suppose that if I worked for a company like Rare, churning out cutesy games one after the other, then I’d probably want to revolt. To do some kind of horrible things to the cute critters. And that’s pretty much what happened. Take a cute squirrel and insert him into some decidedly uncute scenes, and you have the makings of quite the interesting game.
Conker, our hero, drinks far too much one evening and gets quite the nasty hangover. He then manages to get lost and needs to make his way home to rest and to see his inexplicably attractive girlfriend.
Conker, as his day progresses, finds himself in a variety of increasingly unlikely circumstances, some based on movies, and all a bit on the adult side. Make no mistake about it, this game, though it stars a fairly cute main character, is not for the kiddos. The game features gratuitous references and depictions of feces, urine, adult-oriented portions of anatomy, gore, and oh, so much more. Of course, it’s also pretty funny, especially if you’re into gross-out humor. Which, given the proper position of the moon, I am.
The game is surprisingly long and quite tough. But that’s usually OK since you’ll find yourself playing it just to see the next cutscene. It turns out that there is some kind of overarching story to the thing, but it doesn’t really matter, and it doesn’t even make a great deal of sense.
Although the movie references are getting a little dated, you should play this game if you get the opportunity. Though you’d probably have better luck finding the Xbox version to play.
