With it's basic fun and love, this is up to the standards of Sonic and The Red Plumber himself!
I think that's why Donkey Kong Country, and the wholeDonkey Kong Game franchise is held so high; because it's fun, sure you'll be deing a hell of a lot of times, but you're still gunna be smilling about it, right? I think that's why now- a- days we just get caught in story and graphics (not that they aren't inmportant) that we forget to really appreciate the fun and quality, even as simple as this game, to make us gamers smile.
Now, being a 3 part series, Donkey Kong **** takes place after the first one, having Diddy Kong, Donkey Kong's son, having to defeat the evil, crocidile Kremlins with the help of a certian pink monkey. Now to do this, Diddy will have to go hrough more than 5 worlds, collecting bannas, DK coins, feathers, Kremlin coins and more on his way to the bad guy boss,Rule.
Now, on to the game.
The first world is incridibly easy, which is a little misleading to the remander of the levels in this game. But it is fun all th way, because in certain levels you can ride an animal by breaking it out of the box.
Other than riding sword fish and rhinos, there are a number of little collectibles like the letters K, O, N, G that give you and extra life, DK cions that serve no porpuse, and Kremlin coins that you might need to unlock some new content....
But finding all of those items will take work, and even just GOING through the level is majorly hard. I have maybe deid around fifty or so times in this game, and I probably only found about 17 out the 30 or so DK coins. Yes, I said this is a fun game, and it is, but you can only take 2 hits and you die!
2 hits is **** escpically when you have bees, crocidiles, killer starfish, rats, devil roller coasters of death, and more coming to try to hit you're monkey butt as soon as you press that D pad.
On the other hand, to hits is pretty realistic because you only have two monkeys... as realistic as two monkeys trying to stop a crocidile empire is...?
But, the final boss, after all the lava, volcanos, bees, crocs, ghost, whiper snapper kids on roller coasters, cabin fever-boomerang- throwing ice man, I would expect to be hard, but it wasn't. Only two try's, which is good considering the difficulty... but I'm not complaining!
Though, if you did manage to get all of the kremlin coins hidden throughout the levels, you can get to bonus levels, by accesing and paying Kubba at his hut.
To the point, this game is fun. Hard, yes. Simplicity in formula and graphics, and a classic in mine and alot of people'
s hearts. Even with out playing the first one, and knowing nothing about Donkey Kong, I was hooked due to the above information.
If you want to play this game or know more, check the Wii shop channel, the GBA remake, the original SNES game, or check an LP of it.
