I have had this game for a week give or take a day and I find the criticisms of this, what I would call 'masterpiece', totally incomprehensible. I just don't understand. People moan about the length. And to that I say....WHAT?!?!?! The Game took me just under 17 hours to complete, and although I almost took that long on Click Clock Wood (Banjo-Kazooie) at my first attempt, I don't feel in the slightest bit 'ripped-off'.
You may not have noticed that when you walk over the dandilions by where you have lead the dog-fish into the wall that all the little bits from the foliage break-off and float in the air, you may also not have noticed that when you leave Conker motionless in the nightclub he dances as oppose to the juggling or drinking that he might anywhere else.
The attention to detail in this game is amazing, and after playing this game through at a slower-than usual pace I was able to enjoy it thoroughly and have no regrets what so ever for getting it. In my view, somthing that shows such creativity and care should be no less that £50 and I don't think that this is anyless of a game than Banjo-Kazooie or even Mario 64. You can have all the graphics you want, and don't get me wrong Conker looks great, but when you have the sheer incomparable gameplay and creativity that this game offers you don't even think about graphics.
Another complaint is the language and rude-ness, this is purely the theme of the game, it is aimed at older viewers and being almost 18, for me it hits the mark. It may not have the arch-typical storyline of obtaining and relocating a nuclear nitrogen based bomb or the like, and frankly I am sick of that sort of thing, but for what it is, which is a damn site better than almost 100% of games out there it is...Marvellous.
The game, through its diversity of crude and somewhat to-taste humor goes through many aspects of life, maybe not to the detail of Shenmue but it vaguely covers war, loss, love, hate, forgiveness, trust, patience. These may all be completely turned around to be seen as humorous, but to say that Rare have copped-out with the gameplay side of things is just plain lunacy.
Personally I can't get over what a great game it is, it is fun, fast-paced and very thorough. Now don't get me wrong, those of you who have had the pleasure of playing this game will know that the end leaves Conker open for a sequel, which I am VERY much looking forward to, but in the sense of the word 'thourough' that I am talking about, I mean there are no parts that have you thinking how? or why?...or that lead you to mis-understand and of the storylines.
I laughed all the way through the game, the voices, the animations, cut-scenes and gameplay had me on the edge of my seat for the 17-hour duration I played the game. I would reccomend this game to Anyone 16+ you will love it.

no,no this is a joke. I bought it saturday night and completed it tuesday. Hell, i could i have rented it for a few quid and completed instead or spending £50 for it. okay this is the most enjoyable thing i have played on the 64, but it seems good things never seem to last.
I agree the Games length isn't that important, if the Game is fun you'll come back to play it time and time again.
The same arguement has been laid at the feet of other great games such as the Resident Evil games and MetalGearSolid, and to be honest I love these games too.
Besides which ConkersBadFurDay does have multiplayer game modes that add to its lastability, once the main game has been completed.
Ultimately your paying for a great game, its alot better than paying half as much for a rubbish game that ten times as big!
