OMG! dkc is back? cant wait to put my hands on it...... or maybe not?
dkc games were my favourite games when i was a kid
and i believe i got as exited as everybody when i heard that a new dkc game was coming out! i was so
exited i was cheking almost every day for updates! i got even more exited when they anounced rambi was back
as well.
but as soon as i inserted the game in my wii and started playing it.. it looked more and more
that dkcr wasnt the game i was specting for almost 15 years...
im not saying is a bad game, not at all.. but some little aspects make a huge diference when playing dkc.
first of all the music.
david wise is not composing the music? all right doesnt matter.. i was thinking maybe they will deliver us really good music as well..
..... not at all... i mean the same songs over and over?
no crystal level song?
mine carts´song was actually pretty good.. but it doesnt make it for all the other boring songs.. i mean the volcano levels all had
almost the same music.. and its terrible.. even annoying somtimes.. im sorry retro, but david wise is david wise
and any other doesnt compare to him..
second bonus areas.
the most borring areas in the whole dkc series!
i mean where was the action (or fun) in those places? just grab random bananas with 2 wholes??
retro really??
who was the one that tought that, that was fun??
awful... instead of saying: yeah! bonus! i was like:
ohhh man.. hope is not the one with the two barrels or the other boring ones...
not good news...
if you even played once dkc you would have realized that they had more than just one animal buddy and there were this golden statues that if you found 3, you were sent to a secret area transformed in the animal buddy and they were really fun!
and in these game.. they are non existant!
that is a huge let down...
third, no kremlins.
this i believe is a really an issue... i mean as the day of launch was getting closer and closer i looked at the angry coments
of the fan boys: lame tikis bla bla bla.. and i said to myself, maybe this tikis will be a challenge! i wont judge..
but....nope, they werent... the same baddies all the time? i mean, in dkc as you were getting closer to the end the baddies were stonger and more angry that the ones of the first levels.. here the same lame bird you find in the first level, you find it on the final levels...
jumping bushes? wooden moving boxes? electric sticks? those baddies dont have any personality at all!
and actually they are sooo lame! frogs?? come on!!
The bosses in dkc where fun and had replay value.. this ones.. not at all...for example with one, i was soo annoyed that i wont ever play it again!
and another thing was, where the hell are the red balloons with dk´s face on it?? no blue or green ballons at all?
retro dkc fans? yeahh right!
fouth, control issues
do you guys remember when you had just to push the button and keep it that way to jump higher? why on earth they changed that??
at first i didnt uderstand what was happening.. why it doenst jump farther? ohhh i see, because now you have to press the button exactlly everytime! how dull is that¿?
and the worst part is that if you have diddy in your back it sometimes stops the acction to use his rocket!
do you guys remember rolling with dk on dkc? i mean if you rolled on a baddie it will instantly make you roll more and if you hit other you were rolling faster and faster non stop??
with this i was really angry because they took it out.. now you roll(shaking the wii mote) and if you dont jump later you will crash with some lame wooden tiki to spoil your fun..
that aint fun...i thought retro studios were fans.. well i dont think so.. at all...
a blowing mechanic?? how lame is that.. it just stops the acction!
blowing to put off fire tikis? omg! that was soo anoying and lame!
in conclusion,
i am really disapointed,
idont mean to be rude but... i was expecting this game long time and it didnt deliver what i was wishing and hoping for.
its not a bad game, dont get me wrong.. dkc has alot to see, some fun mine cart levels and such...
but it is a game that i wont play again.. ill stick to the originals and hope they make another dkc game but this time i hope they listen
to the fans.
kremlins i miss you guys! retro make them come back!
