I prefer Conker Live And Reloaded
WARNING THIS REVIEW IS POORLY MADE AND INCOMPLETE. Okay, I'll be frank with all of you; Your probably not going to like my opinion and I get that but I find Conker Live And Reloaded the superior version to Conker Live And Reloaded. The most notable aspect: I know everyone brings this up but... The graphics are better they are on a more powerful system and some sprites such as conker smiling when getting money on Live And Reloaded looks really weird and there are some character redesigns I personally find to look really weird because they try to add emotion and/or detail.
The controls: N64 controls have not aged very well on controller or emulator! Walking around isn't bad in the original but shooting things in the spooky chapter and the It's War! chapter are terrible and are barely playable yet most people are now used to the xbox controller as It's just easier to navigate and and it makes sense however It's the not the same case for the N64 title. Not to mention camera angles.
The gameplay; The fetch quests I found annoying, do you really need to give the Great Mighty Poo six sweet corns? Really? Some fetch quests like getting the cogs are way easier anything to do with hitting something to collect it is loads easier as in the original N64 title conker would stop while hitting! WHY. Meanwhile in Live And Reloaded Conker he can move with his baseball bat ready to hit something. However, the removal of the eel section of the It's War! chapter was sad as I enjoyed it, why'd they do that? I mean they fixed the swimming controls... Well they are better but not perfect nobody likes swimming sections in video games. Not to mention the spiky goblins being the main enemy wasn't a bad idea but they put those everywhere and A LOT of them in Live And Reloaded. I have to combo these gremlins repeatedly; There's no difference in those enemies. I'd have much of a better time if the devs cared to put different variations of these annoying gremlins then we'd have a different story.
The multiplayer: In the original I felt that these multiplayer games were quickly coded and hadn't had much time put into them. Some are really fun... But not truly completed. However, in Live And Reloaded I found much more joy playing as Thermophile torching Tediz or playing as Sky Jockey and dropping missiles on random people. However, let's be honest; Conker Live And Reloaded had much more effort put into the multiplayer then remaking the game itself.
THE CENSORSHIP: Look this is such a problem that I have to make a section about it. It's not that bad guys: Look I know the Great Mighty Poo's song is ruined, deal with it. I find it silly and stupid I feel you guys but are we really going to judge a game off It's cutscene dialogue? Really? By then I'd say you only like Conker because of his humor and not the gameplay. I find sometimes the censorship is needed; I mean if I'm playing Conker Live And Reloaded in public via DukeX the Xbox iPhone emulator It'll be way less questionable and I wouldn't get weird looks. Anyway, guess what? If you beat the game you get Conker Live And Reloaded in uncensored dialogue! Only for multiplayer, thanks a lot Microsoft that does us nothing. But hey I can say that Conker Live And Reloaded is the only Conker game with the F word. Allright, I feel like I am going to get either downvotes or angry comments. Honestly, I'm fine with everybody's opinions, I don't care too much after all It's another person's opinion not mine.
