Just read the review of Conker: live and reloaded and I feel like crying.

Apparently, the update on what could be the greatest game of all time, features little, to no update at all. The issues regarding the swimming and slow pace at the start are still there. There are no new sections and in fact some have been removed because they weren't that good in the first place. What happened to improving them Rare?

And apparently the multiplayer too is heavily lacking and that the N64's multiplayer modes were superior.

So what is exactly the point in me getting this game?

Gee RARE, thanks a bunch.

Banjo Threeie... Better not mess it up like Tooie.

Kazooie was a marvelous game.

Would have been nice if Rare had added a few levels to the single player, but as said they really were concentrating on the online section. This being their first online game I'd say they haven't done too bad, but there's definetly room for improvement.

If they mess up Perfect Dark though, I really will think about loosing all faith in them. Might hold out for Banjo Threeie though as I hear Microsoft have recently bought up the rights for the website.

Well I'll grant you, IGN are far from the most reliable. But the single player is why I'd love the game. I'm not as multiplayer frenzy as you. I loved Conker's Bad Fur Day, it is my favourite game ever and I even made a popular website about it. I could get it and steal my brother's x-box. Especially if he gets a 360 at the end of the year.

Fair do's if you've done your research, read more than one review and decided it's not your sort of thing. Personally as a game for quick-ish fights I'd have thought it'd be your sort of thing. It really is an extension of the better game modes found in RTCW, sure there isn't any new single player (aside from the offline multiplayer) but it's basically the better modes from Conker 64 redesigned with 16 player matches in mind.

Plus there's flamethrowers and incendary grenades which I thought would be right up your barn, er street...

I may have called Rare a little lazy, but that reply was EA standard!
Atleast tell me in what way it was balls! :-P
