'Ah,' think I, ' the boss.' I sit back and expect some inane button-pressingly mindless combat. Here I am, late at night, playing merrily along in the Dung Beetle zone, and I enter the mountain, and after hearing the woeful tale of the monster of Poo Mountain (is this strange enough already? yes, it is.), I am presented with anthropomorphic corn, which a voice from below demands I throw in the center of the room.ДЄfter feeding several of these to the beast that dwells below, it rises up before me, a fearsome looking sort of poo-demon. The most truly surreal moment of the game comes after you enter the Dung Beetles' mountain, and meet the, uh, dread monster of Poo Mountain. For a quick refresher, the game details the misadventures of a cartoonish red squirrel attempting to find his way home after really tying one on the night before.

Let me start by saying that the experience of playing Conker's Bad Fur Day is really what I would hope it would be like if I ever were to try LSD.

Unappealing content plus minor spoilers lie below With this kind of insanity, who needs Engrish-laden meme farms like Zero Wing?

'I can't be arsed with this bloody ridiculous contraption! Whose idea was this anyway?' - Gregg, diminutive Grim Reaper-type, having trouble with the loudspeaker he uses to overcome his naturally squeaky voice. 'I'm gonna take my big bone, and smash that puny squirrel!' - Buga the Knut, big jealous caveman guy with enormous bone club and a supposedly 'big boner', threatening our hero after he catches the eye of Buga's best girl Jugga. I'll bring him down here, I'll show him where ze duct tape is, I'll show him where to stuff it!' - Resident mad scientist weasel known as 'Zer Professor', obviously annoyed over the latest inane assignment he's gotten from the Panther King. ' Duct tape? I'll give him a duct tape! ****ing arsehole. 'Isn't it a little early in the day to be discussing Gothic architecture?' - Our hero Conker, talking with a large, irritable, sore-bottomed gargoyle blocking the path. I thought it was time to move onto a bridge, say. 'Have you ever sat on a piece of Gothic architecture for two hundred years? Gets right up your arse, you know. This game is absolutely rife with zany quotes. Me, I'm still harboring the insane hope of a Super Mario 64 2. This is probably the last really big release for the N64, and you would not do too poorly to make this the last game purchase for the system. It sounds like much of the music uses loops, now that that much more sound can be put on the cartridge. We finally get to hear some of the team's groove-oriented work (in the Rock Solid dance club, lavaboarding sequence, and Matrix-esque bank heist), and there's still plenty of melody-oriented material to go around.

Obligatory derision of full motion video goes here. Rare has also licensed The Miles Sound System and made good use of its MP3 decoding routines, so there are voices throughout (why they didn't do this for Perfect Dark rather than just downsampling, I have no idea). The models are as detailed as you'll ever see on the N64, and the textures are as crisp as can be expected.

If you still doubt, then, for all I know, Conker will be easy for you. Through Super Mario Brothers inside 45 minutes (without warping, of course). If you doubt, remember that this is coming from someone who routinely breezes Chapter eight is the longest in the game and unbelievably difficult. As with all the best Rare and Nintendo games, the learning curve is admirably shallow, but by the time you reach chapter seven, your abilities (and your frustration threshhold!) will be severely, uh, tested. Not a very coherent one, but it's there and it's sharp.ДЄnd the game is HARD! This is probably the hardest video game (that I would still consider fair) that I've ever played. Gore, sexual references and sweary words abound (though ' mature' isn't exactly the first word that comes to mind when describing some of the humor).Д¬onker's low-level game mechanics are adequate, and very similar to those of its predecessors ( Super Mario 64, Banjo Kazooie, et al), but the high-level gameplay is much closer to that of a surreal Infocom text adventure - there is almost no repetition between levels your goal is different in each, and so is the way you have to go about achieving it. This idea is reiterated in order convince you (or, rather, parents) that, despite cutesy art/sound style of the game, they're not kidding about it. The first thing I noticed is that ' for mature audiences only' is plastered all over the packaging, and it's also the first thing you see when you start up the game.
