Product Overview:
Conker is back in an all-new Xbox Live-enabled team-based shooter, "Conker: Live and Uncut." Conker is a cartoon rodent with a penchant for booze, wild women and lewd conduct, and the world he lives in is a reflection of him. With a wide variety of customizable multiplayer scenarios available, the game centers on teamwork and fun. Each scenario has its own objectives, rules, environment and back story that provide hilarious gameplay and wacky entertainment. Also included is the original, critically acclaimed single-player game, "Conker's Bad Fur Day," with never-before-seen, uncensored content and completely revamped, only-on-Xbox graphics and sound.

Key Features:

Team-focused, story-driven, live gameplay. With multiple scenario-based gameplay modes, each with its own story, gamers will experience much more than a "shoot everything" premise. In the team-based scenarios, players will be thrust into themed environments that reflect the specific goals they are challenged to meet. The scenarios are designed to be played by two or more teams at once, up to 16 players. Gamers can play various scenarios including "The Heist," which pits four teams of four against each other in a deadly race to rob a bank, or experience the never-ending onslaught of ravenous aliens attacking a lonely space outpost in "Alien Base." Each scenario is highly customizable, allowing for dozens of variations in gameplay.

Raunchy, twisted and irreverent world of Conker. Humor, characters and gameplay are over the top in every way with rude wit, lewd innuendoes, ridiculously graphic violence and, of course, foul language. The juxtaposition of the characters, cartoon animals, and their world is at the heart of the humor. The taunts, exclamations and character reactions bring out the true Conker flavor.

Wildly creative and bizarre single-player adventure. The critically acclaimed single-player game "Conker's Bad Fur Day" is now on Xbox via "Conker: Live and Uncut." Highly bizarre and unusual situations require creative thinking to solve puzzles and will leave gamers craving more. Players will experience crazy and creative characters doing strange things in a huge, detailed and offbeat world. Horny bees, slow-witted farm implements, singing piles of poo and even Death himself (he's much shorter in person) are all par for the course. Movie pastiches on classic films also are included.
