Conker GameSpot review

So did anyone actually pick it up yet or are we still discoursing over the reviews?

I know today's the ship date, but it's a relatively "big" game.
 
Yeah, they told me the same yesterday when I picked up Destroy All Humans. I was just wondering if it might be available early (specifically this evening/tonight) since it's a big title.
 
I was hoping it would be today, but dammit, GS also said arrives tomorrow and asked if I reserved it. I haven't but I'm also expecting my own store gets it in so I don't have to actually go out and find it. [Crosses fingers]
 
I was gonna get Conker anyways since I loved the first.


Anyone know if EB or Gamestop in store will be giving the Bonus disk that comes with Conker at ebgames.com?
 
BETTER THAN SUPER MARIO SUNSHINE

1UP

Mario Sunshine - 95%
Conker Live - 75%

IGN:

Mario Sunshine - 94%
Conker Live - 81%

Overall (from all reviews so far:

Mario Sunshine - 91% out of 77 reviews
Conker Live - 84% out of 10 reviews

Yet another average game from the new improved Rare....
 
But the CBFD demo sucked.

it's not so much that i felt the conker demo was incredible (it was fun), but rather that mario sunshine was quite easily the biggest disappointment of that year (and probably the worst mario game i've ever played)

Sorry you hate the genre. Don't be passing shit around just because you do. While Sunshine wasn't the evolution that 64 was, it's a spectacular game (minus most of the blue coins) and really the only platformer this gen that focused on simply moving through the enviorments. The definition of what a "platformer" is today has become so broad and yet there are no other games on the market that are at all like 64 or Sunshine.

If my live bud's buy this game i might be in.
Except someone can camp out either at the respawn spot or when you change classes -- I forget which -- and blow you away over and over, never giving you a chance to get back in the game. At least that's the gist of what I got from IGN's review.

call it whatever you want, the game was boring as fuck and sucked complete ass. i'll admit i only put about 5 hours into mario sunshine, but if a game can't at least keep you mildly interested in the first 5 hours it's probably not your game. oh, and i'm glad "there are no other games on the market that are like sunshine". think there might be a reason for that friend? maybe my expectations were too high, but bottom line is the game was pretty crappy. just my opinion, your average videogame player who really doesn't give a shit who is on the cover of the game (no free pass for mario!)
 
Super Mario Sunshine was incredible and awesome. It's way better than Conker, and I like Conker! FrenchMovieTheme is out of the cool club.
 
Yeah, seriously

*rips badge off of FMT's shirt*

My friend rented SMS a few weeks ago. I grabbed the controller from him at one point and just started dicking around. He was shocked to find that Mario could wall-jump. As a matter of fact he SUUUUCKED at the game, whereas I gelled with the controls as if I had played it the day before (had been at least two years). Makes a huge difference. I can just jump around the hub town and have a good time in that game.
 
You can join my club, FMT

thank you friend, thank you

Do you really want FMT in your club? He'll convert the entire east wing into a Madden worship shrine. Is that what you want, huh? IS IT?

A vote for FMT is a vote for freedom and choice!
