Conker's Bad Fur Day 2001

Is it still worth playing?

Rare's 2001 three dimensional platformer with shooter sections for the Nintendo 64, directed and designed by Chris Seavor. Conker wakes up hungover and lost and has to get home to his girlfriend Berri, chasing cash on the way. Levels are enclosed areas explored freely, with progress through a linear sequence of challenges such as bosses, puzzles, gathering and racing, and each completed challenge yields cash that unlocks other areas of the overworld. His moves are simple: run, jump, frying pan, swim, climb and push. Context sensitive pads grant temporary abilities and weapons and show what to do next, standing in for inventory management. Multiplayer supports four players in seven game types. Simple moves and pads that hand you the right tool at the right spot still keep each stretch moving today.
