Release Date: Mar 4 2001
Genre: Shooter
Humorous action-platformer that does away with the tedious item collection found in most games in the genre. Instead BFD employs a combination of standard jump run and explore mechanics and context-sensitive gags and actions. For instance in the beginning of the game by pressing the B button on the first pad he encounters Conker drinks some Alka-Seltzer to wipe out his hangover at which point players can proceed forward. Later on these pads are used to activate a slingshot and throwing knives; to turn Conker into an anvil and drop downward; to shoot automatic double-handed guns; to activate a The Matrix-inspired slow-motion effect and flip through the air shooting enemies; and much much more.
