"3....2......1......RUSH!!"

Oh yes. Getting my N64 back (finally) after a long holiday for it. And you know what.....out of all the games I want to play again, Goldeneye, Mario 64, Body Harvest, JFG and the ones I've forgotten about, I wanna play Rush 2049 the most. I've played through the 6 (yes 6!) racing tracks of this game a million times. I've exhausted the stunt modes, and I've got pretty far in the battle games. And yet I still want to play it more and more. You've probably seen me rant about how a sequal needs to be made, and by god does it indeed!

It's made by Midway, has trashy dance music, looks terrible (well, it didn't back then) has 6 racing tracks (8 battle, 6 Stunt too, great fun), no licensed cars or drivers or anything and quite possibly the worst looking trees ever. And it totally kicks butt in single and multiplayer. Best £30 I randomly spent in GAME ever.

I implore you to get it off E-Bay.

The only screenshots released from RARE have been multiplayer footage from the LIVE section. The Uncut CBFD has had no released screenshots and is always just a side mention... Which is always a problem. They say it's a port of the classic with extra bits that didn't make it in. I hope they'll really re-vamp the graphics though.

I may be wrong, but I think that Conker was a 512 Mb cartridge, mainly due to the audio. But cartridges cost a lot and to have made the game longer would have meant a sacrifice in audio quality or using 1 Gb carts which would have been ridiculously expensive, possibly making it unviable.

Yes but not even I can comprehend what is coming. A better version of the best game ever? It doesn't bare thinking about. For me I have a Gamecube and I'm to get excited over new Zelda's and Starfox's but come the arrival of that game then I'll buy a 'box. You guys on the other hand can get excited over it... but you just won't know how excited you should be.

CBFD was my VERY first GAD claim and now I'm trying to claim my 30th. How times fly.

I've seen screenshots and the Graphical overhaul is very very noticeable indeed. Think 'redesign' as far as some parts of the levels go.

Also it appears you can now hold about 3 weapons at a time which will change the shooting elements of the multiplayer.

This is no quick conversion, I may even play through the single player again.

Slight possibility that some Xbox owners might just've own an N64 + Conker, like me and NB for instance.

Not that I don't like it... just isn't a reason I want an X-box. By the time I do get one, when Conker: Live and uncut is released, I'll want Conker, GBTG, Jet Set Radio and Dead or Alive 3 or 4 depending what is out.

My Dad has a 'box and I can't wait to play some top games. But the only game that will sell me the system is Conker.

As for what Live and Uncut is it is a big multiplayer game that is what it is supposed to be. And I loved the 64 multiplayer.

It also includes the original CBFD with extra levels etc... they never finished. Making the game longer which was the only problem with the original... a tad short. but just a tad.

I hope to see a graphical overhaul as well.

OH what a bloody brilliant game.

I'm not 100% sure of what the difference will be, whether it will just be a remake with online or a new game. Either way, Rare are immensely talented and Conker is a great character, and that coupled with Live should result in a great game.

Don't be so prejudiced against Halo. Most Ninty fans are, but if they buy it and sit down with it for a while they normally enjoy it. Like Tilta for example.

It's an update of the original with the Live option isn't it?

So surly that will do for you. I'm getting an X-box purly for this game... although Jet Set Radio: Future and Grabbed by the Gholies are other games that attract me.

Yep that's right no Halo in that list.

No way it was good but ive seen better, i have a x box all im looking forward to from rare in perfect dark and kameo maybie bango k
