Been playing Conker: Live & Reloaded.
On its own, it's an amazing experience. The voice acting is amazing, the writing (or improv, I should say) is great, and the gameplay is fun. The graphics are also amazing; this is an original Xbox game, yet it could qualify for an early Xbox 360 game! I could even say it's a classic...
...problem is, it's a remake of Conker's Bad Fur Day. And while it's not the wort remake Ive played, it's definitely inferior to the original. The obvious culprit is the censorship, of course. Censors words the original version got away with for some reason. The especially hurts the Great Mighty Poo song, which was uncensored in the original version, but has poo sounds in the place of "shit" and "twat" for some reason.
Less obvious, however, are the gameplay changes. Now, for the most part, the gameplay is intact, but some stuff bugs me. Like, they changed the whacking. Now, this was probably for the multiplayer, but still, it's a bit disorenting.Also, is it just me, or are the swimming and flying bat controls worse? Darn the muscle memory...
Also, enemies are sprinkled around where they weren't originally there, including these doll-things that didn't even exist in the original. This isn't a problem most of the time, but sometimes, it was hard enough when they weren't there to be worried about.
The hungiver chapter was changed. Now, the changes are joked about, includig tye fact that you're using a baseball bat instead of a frying pan...but the jokes weren't particularly funny, and one who hasn't played the original version wouldn't get it.
I haven't gotgen to Chapter X yet, but I'm planning on it. It's a new story chapter. It's something.
Overall, good game, but I'm glad Rare Replay used the original version instead.
