Conker:
Live and Reloaded
The
original Conker game that appeared on the Nintendo 64 from renowned game
developer Rare of GoldenEye fame was infamous for its M-rated content,
including talking poop and plenty or bleeped swear words flying from the
foul mouth of the furry squirrel with a penchant for violence. Finally,
a few years later and playing to an older audience, Conker makes his
return, this time exclusively on the Xbox. While the game’s
single-player mode is only a visually-improved version of the N64 game
(a significant improvement at that, if you have been fortunate to have
caught a glance of the amazing fur shading effects) the big selling
point is the Xbox Live online play that brings an entirely new dimension
to the gameplay that wasn’t there on the N64.
Here’s the official cuss-free game info from Microsoft:
Conker is back in an all-new Xbox Live-enabled, team-based shooter,
Conker: Live and Uncut. Conker is a cartoon rodent with a penchant for
booze, wild women, and lewd conduct, and the world he lives in is a
reflection of himself. With a wide variety of customizable multiplayer
scenarios, the game centers on teamwork and fun. Each scenario has its
own objectives, rules, environment, and back story that provide for
hilarious gameplay and wacky entertainment.
Also included is the original, critically acclaimed single-player game,
Conker's Bad Fur Day, with never-before-seen, uncensored content and
completely revamped only-on-Xbox graphics and sound.
Features:
Team-focused, story-driven, live gameplay: With multiple scenario-based
gameplay modes, each with its own story, gamers will experience much
more than a "shoot everything" premise. In the team-based
scenarios, players will be thrust into themed environments that reflect
the specific goals they are challenged to meet. The scenarios are

designed to be played by two or more teams at once, with up to 16
players. Gamers can play various scenarios, including The Heist, which
pits four teams of four against each other in a deadly race to rob a
bank. Or, experience the never-ending onslaught of ravenous aliens
attacking a lonely space outpost in "Alien Base." Each
scenario is highly customizable, allowing for dozens of variations in
gameplay.
A raunchy, twisted, and irreverent world: The humor, characters, and
gameplay are over the top in every way, with rude wit, lewd innuendoes,
ridiculously graphic violence, and of course, foul language. The
juxtaposition of the characters, cartoon animals, and their world is at
the heart of the humor. The taunts, exclamations, and character
reactions bring out the true Conker flavor.
Wildly creative and bizarre single-player adventure: The critically
acclaimed single-player game Conker's Bad Fur Day is now on Xbox via
Conker: Live and Uncut. Highly bizarre and unusual situations require
creative thinking to solve puzzles and will leave gamers craving more.
Players will experience crazy and creative characters doing strange
things in a huge, detailed, and offbeat world. Horny bees, slow-witted
farm implements, singing piles of poo, and even Death himself (he's much
shorter in person) are all par for the course. Movie pastiches on
classic films also are included.
Although the single-player game is essentially just a better-looking
re-release of a N64 game, the Xbox Live play should be enough to draw
the interest of the online FPS Xbox player looking for a shooter game
that anthropomorphically twists the usual soldier-versus-soldier fare
currently occupying the frontline of Xbox Live’s most popular titles.
In order to gain a niche in the Xbox FPS market, though, Conker’s
toughest challenge won’t be defeating the un-cuddly Tediz but getting
Xbox Live gamers to spend a little time away from playing Halo 2.
