Well, the game's obviously not for you, and that's ok.
BTW, it's not a "new" game....it is a rerender of a game that came out in
2001 but now updated for the Xbox platform
(and it looks fantastic, not that the N64 version was horrible looking)
I 've had the N64 version of Conker's Bad Fur Day since it came out, and
while I got shot up the first few times on this level, I figured out how to
get past this one section to make it up to the bunker to move on.....believe
me, if *I* can do it, anyone can, but if you're not having fun with it, I
agree; don't play it.
