This game is shit.
If there was one line that you were to read of this review, the previous should have been it.
I don't know many people who haven't played Conker's on the N64. If you haven't played the game before and don't own an N64, go ahead and play it.
But a warning to BFD vets: The new version has nothing new to offer. I must hand it to Microsoft, they managed to make the game look like shit. The new textures aren't done very well, and Conker's fur is 2D and terribly done. I thought there would be some novelty in seeing the 64 game with Xbox graphics, but there is not.
The only thing they added was a pathetic multiplayer mode. Yes, the originals are there, but they've taken themselves too seriously. Players have far too much health and despite several "classes" of characters (Rocket launcher, shotgun, katana, snipers...), they are extremely unbalanced.
All weapons have infinite ammo and this works to a degree. The flamethrower characters can't be touched. The sniper rifle does almost no damage. There's no reason to be anything except for a swordsman in this game.
The new modes are confusing and the levels are poorly thought out. If you have too many bots and players (more than 8) the game slows down.
Then there's the linked games, which we couldn't figure out. We had a couple Xboxes and tvs, but couldn't get any more than two players in there. So yeah, up to 16 players my ass.
The story mode is still original Conker's for the most part. The only major difference is that the game must load every 50 fucking seconds. There are loading screens between the cutscenes for christ's sake. Down with Rare. This shit is horrible.
