the humour is gonna be hit-and-miss for people. a lot of levels are pretty frustrating and can be a chore to complete. that said, the game is pretty enjoyable and the controls are pleasant. the camera is generally reliable for a 3D platformer from this period - Rare did a good job there.
conker's bad fur day is flawed for sure, but the passion that went into this game is pretty obvious from the beginning of the game. i am a sucker for cute, deceptive adult-oriented games. i much prefer the story and overall aesthetics to the gameplay.
i'll give it a C for now, but could jump to a B grade in the future.
I feel like the same with Banjo, a 2nd replay will be a smoother time. Half the frustration comes from the game assuming you should figure out what to do, the other half comes from the camera. It's so varied and has a lot of ideas, which is a double edged sword of course because if you enjoy something it'll be over quicker than you'd want. And come on, the animation for a N64 game...easily the best I've seen, was constantly impressed
"My favourite thing about Conker's Bad Fur day was when I distilled this excellent review down to a tweet which said the game was "fucking abysmal" and the official Rare account AND somecunt who made the game sent their fans my way, leaving my Twitter to be a torrent of really weird abuse at not liking a massively below average N64 game and people assuming I was twenty years younger than what I am. I had a pretty good time."

This game is so over looked, especially when it comes to the great platformers. The variety in level deisgn is nuts. Easily a top 5 3D platfomer all time. The multiplayer is one of the greatest local multiplayers ever made before online multiplayer became a thing. Game is so good and underated and I love it and please at least give the single player an hour of your time.
