Just checking to see if anyone here has played this game yet and if it’s worth buying.
I really liked both Zelda games for N64 as well as GoldenEye.
Is Conker a 3D-Adventure game similar to the Zelda games?
Just how dirty is this game? Why a mature rating?
Thanks for any help you can give me.

i haven’t payed it yet, but check http://www.conker.com for video and screenshots.
I was really surprised when I first saw the add for that. My only previous experience with Conker was in “Diddy Kong Racing”, which had absolutley no offensive content at all. I’m not old enough to buy/rent M-rated games, (I’m 14) and I’m not checking out that site until someone says how dirty the game is.
I can’t imagine a game that doesn’t have a mere 10 seconds of OK-for-TV content. There was nothing they could show?
It’s not as bad as they make it look. The sensationalism attracts customers and a mature game is a fairly rare concept for Nintendo (Perfect Dark and…?).
I’ve looked at some of this. From what I’ve seen there’s aLOT of scatological humor, plus some sex humor. I’m not really fond of bathroom jokes.

Poo and fart jokes abound. It’s not incredibly challenging, but it’s got some really, REALLY funny moments to it. I loved it, but I doubt I’d buy it. no replay value except the multiplayer games. Which are hilarious.
I got it the day it came out.
This game is full of fart, poo, sex, and puke jokes – perfect for my best friend and me.
As Mnementh said, it’s not super-challenging, but it’s very funny.
The secondary characters are hilarious. My favorite is Gregg the (midget) Grim Reaper, who hates cats. Oh, wait, I can’t forget the Great Mighty Poo, who sings at you. (Name may be wrong, but it’s close.)
I’m still working through it (I’m not the most skilled player in the world, but I do keep trying), and I’m having a great old time.
The best part is showing it to other friends and watching them get caught off-guard by some of the dialog.
I haven’t played Zelda, so I can’t compare. It is definitely in the adventure category, though.
The, um, F word (heh, I’m self-censoring for this post!) is *$%@! in the on-screen dialog and bleeped in the audio dialog. But other, lesser words are used, as is the variant “feck”.
I’d guess the mature rating is for a combination of the language and sexual innuendo. The poo, fart, and puke stuff just isn’t adult-level. Actually, I’m a libertine: I think all of it is just fine for most ages. So keep me away from yer kids! 
As with any new video game, I’d recommend that you rent it first if you’re not certain you want it. You’ll get the idea by the, oh, third room whether you like it or not.
Check out IGN for a preview/review, screen shots, and movies.
Enjoy!

I haven’t played the game, but judging from the previews, it seems pretty vulgar and tasteless. Like “Boogerman” for Genesis/Megadrive, only worse.
If you’re looking for some good tasteless/vulgar fun, you might want to play the game I’m making, Binary Quest. That is, if I ever finish the whole series; the original series was a bunch of games for my TI-82 (8 so far), and I’m porting it to PC, complete with illustrations. I won’t give away too much here, but the game is famous among those who’ve played it for having, among other things, a stick figure having sex with a tree.
