The story

Conkers Bad Fur Day is an unusual tale of a squirrel who becomes king after having a really, really bad day.  The game starts with a lengthy cut scene narrated by Conker, beginning with him sitting in his throne with an angry look on his face, and then proceeding to the night before when he had too much alcohol and got lost.  Conker's only goal is to get back home to his girlfriend Berri, but to do so, he must run around many different environments to complete tasks for various characters who help him to get closer and closer to home.  The strong point of the story is the adult humor that goes along with it.  The game was created by Rare, but unlike other Rare games, it has an attitude.  Rare had received criticism because many people thought the game was just going to be another platformer with cute animals.  What the critics got was a game full of crude langauge, violence, and many sexual themes.   I always find it amusing when the characters say things like 'arse' and '@#$%^&', and when Birdy, the scarecrow who teaches you a couple basic buttons of the game sells you a manual for the game says something along the lines of 'love long time, you love manual long time.'  In my opinion, the story is one of the reasons I enjoy this game so much.  Conker is probably my favorite character from a video game because of his persistence, and the humorous way he deals with conflict.  It's definitely a nice change to play a game as an unlikely hero who is a smart***, instead of the stereotypical unlikely hero that has perfect morals.
