This game is beautiful, but falls short in many ways.

This was one of the first games that I got for my game boy color and it is a beutiful game with rich, colorful graphics. Even the graphics on the game boy pocket are beautiful. This game even has a cheesy, but semi-interesting story. But even the story and graphics werent enough to keep my attention throughout the entire quest, even with all the mini-games and secrets to find. If you liked Zelda you might like this one, even if only for a little bit.

This is a very age appropriate game for young children. There is no violence and each level has different settings and challenges (woods, desert, castle, tropical island,swamp,aztec temple). The game is a little difficult to grasp, but after a couple of days, most children understand it.

My bright four year old son loved this game until he realized he could only manage half the tasks on the first level. Now it frustrates him to no end. He cannot move quickly enough for the sub-games. My husband and myself had a nearly impossible time with some of the sub-games. It is utterly frustrating. In addition, you get killed so easily it becomes boring waiting for the system to re-boot over and over. I found it annoying. Many times I was tempted to heave the thing across the room. No wonder my Dad told me to never play video games! The only benefit was IF you could get to the new worlds, they were fun to explore.
Dont reccommend it

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Ok listen up. I realy do not like this game, that is why i want to review it. It has good graphics, and is funny at times, yet it is so impossible to beat the first level! I am 14 years old. I am a gameboy freak, I know this stuff. My cousin had gotten this game for his birthday. He is 6, and he to has problems with it. I do not recommend this game to children under 12. Anyone over 12 might understand it and use there braain power to figue these things out. (This game is mostly like a puzzle.)

I played Conker's Pocket Tales and thought it was okay. The graphics were pretty good and it ran smoothly. The only problems were that it is way too easy to die and the minigames strain your thumbs more than your mind. I've been stuck at one point for weeks and none of my friends have been quick enough to beat the minigame. I got frustrated at points, but if you manage to beat it there are many interesting and mentally challenging worlds to get through.
not worth it

Conker's pocket tales is a really bad game. I think rare made it just to do somthing. All the people in this game are giant upsidedown acorns that talk. An evil acorn steals your girl friend at your birthday and you have to rescue her collecting presents and other things on your way. This isn't a great game for little kids either, because there are some really dificult minigames i it. I can't beat them so I don't play it. Just look for somthing else. Like gb camera, zelda, or pkmn pinball
great game

I don't know why everyone thought this was such a hard game. You just have to get used to it. When i first picked it up and played, I thought it waas bad...but I later picked it up and started playing, and I loved it. Once you get used to it it gets really fun. The graphics are good, the controls aren't too hard to master, and the game is pretty long. Overall a very good game!
Too Confusing

This game was way too confusing for me. I think it would be recommended for people that can stand annoyance and stress. You can't even tell where your going and the signs that appear every 50 minutes don't help at all. I recommend you not to buy this. I think people should try to sell theirs and don't regret it.
Great for kids, but parents beware of the N64 conker game

This game is great for all ages. But parents shouldn't be mistaken this game with the Nintendo 64 conker. It's not the same family-friendly game like this one. The N64 version is more for adults because of the M-rated. It's not the same cute little Conker.

Well this is the 3rd game I own for my GBC system. The graphics are loosy, the story line is even worst. Fighting gaint Acorns is boring. The levels are difficult, and so are the kings of each stage, though I have completed the game. I wouldn't recommend it to anyone, don't waste your money on this game.
