Strengths: graphics, multiplayer

Weaknesses:

Summary: Conker Live and Reloaded single player is basically the same as Conkers Bad Fur Day on the N64 with updates. It has good graphics, sound and gameplay. Conker has a good multiplayer component which increases the replay value. All in all Conker Live and Reloaded is a decent game.

Strengths: Graphics, humor

Weaknesses: Voice acting

Summary: While an already impressive N64 game, Rare has made the graphics of this remake some best available on the more-powerful Xbox console. I have not been able to test out the new multi-player mode, but the single-player story remains as entertaining as ever. It's the exact same thing as the N64 game, but the updated graphics definitely make it worth playing through the funny game once more. The game is pretty much entirely voice-acted, though the quality of it maybe annoying for some people.

Strengths: 1) Impressive graphics2) Single player adventure is well crafted and humorous if you have not already played it on the N64

Weaknesses: 3) Live play requires somewhat high learner curve and doesn't have provide a whole lot of fun

Summary: Conker: Live and Reloaded is a very good game if you haven't already played the single player on the N64. The novelty of the crude and shocking humour and the charm of the English accents wears off if you have already experienced the game in it's previous incarnation. I purchased this updated version mostly out of nestolgic reasons (it was one of my favorite games of the previous console generation) but I found that when I replayed it, even though it featured amazing updated graphics and some new gameplay elements, the game hasn't aged that well. Taken as a new experience, Conker: Live and Reloaded should please fans of mascot/platforming games who are looking to have a little unconventional fun with the genre. I found the multi player to be a bit chaotic and difficult to get accostomed to.

Strengths: Looks good, fun dialog

Weaknesses: Dated references, objectives sometimes obscure, bad camera

Summary: A remake of a classic N64 game, Conker is a trashy but fun game, if you're willing to slip your brain into the freezer while playing.Mostly a platformer, with puzzles and combat, and eventually a shooter, Conker is fun. Sometimes you won't know what to do next, but thats what a FAQ is for. Controls can be clunky, and the camera can be a pain.Complete with a good multiplayer experience, Conker is a decent choice, particularly if you never played it before.

Strengths: Gameplay, Characters, Humor, Graphics

Weaknesses: Voice over can get annoying, Length of game, Objectives

Summary: RARE has done it again and pushed out a top notch game. Not only is it fun to play it is also beautiful; almost pushing it to 360 graphics. Along with good gameplay it also has a sense of humor that has you playing longer to see what the characters will say next. Now though the gameplay is solid sometimes I found myself wondering what I was suppose to do next. All around RARE has delivered a great title that should be part of anyones gaming library. Classic platforming, hilarious and fun experience.
