The Good Things

What makes Bad Fur Day great?  Well, just read the rest of this blog.  To cap things off, i'll give you the top three things that Nintendo and Rare did right when they made this game.

 (note:  these are not in order)

1.  They surprised me, and the rest of the world by coming out with a game that featured a cute squirrel that turned out to be a badass.  Going against the precedent that Nintendo had set for itself is a major contributing factor as to why this game is special.  Although I don't think the mature style of the game is enough to make it a good game, I believe that it was a very smart move on the part of the developers.  Doing something different like this definitely created a buzz for this game and got people talking about it.

2.  Maxing out the Nintendo 64 Console.  This game uses every bit of power the 64 has.  With almost two hours of cut scenes and very impressive lighting and textures the people at Rare should be commended for squeezing so much out of a console that was soon to be replaced.  One of the best part of the excellent graphics is the detail on Conker's face.  Each emotion he has, whether it be sad, terrified, angry, or happy, you will know.  His emotions are made very clear.

3. Audio.  What more can I say?  The audio is fantastic.  The voice actors do an excellent job of defining their characters.  The gamer can immerse in the game because of the detailed environmental sound effects.  The music is also top notch.  It sets the mood and changes with your environment.  From the death sounds to the sound of the Game Boy that Conker plays when he is bored from you neglecting to give him anything to do for a period of time, the sounds are masterful.

4.  Showing teddy bears getting sniped and having their heads blown off.

I know I said top three, but...
