Jr's Revenge!

User Rating: 7.3 | Donkey Kong Jr. NES
By theshockwave | Review Date:
In this simple adventure, the son of the dastardly, damsel stealing Donkey Kong must rescue his father from our plumber hero Mario. With only four levels, each of which only occupy a single screen, this game is almost as short as the original Donkey Kong game.

The levels are littered with birds, sparks and little choppy-things, all of which have obviously been payed-off by Mario to take out Jr. Similar to the original, you have the ability to jump over things, but you now you can climb on hanging vines, which you usually have to jump up to grab.

After all these years, the levels can still be a slight challenge and still hold replayability. No, you aren't going to sit down and play Donkey Kong Jr for 5 hours solid, but for 15 minutes you can look back at history and smile.

    The Good: Solid gameplay and levels design. The Bad: Short. It can be tough for any sequel to live up to its predecessor's expectations--especially when you're talking about a classic like the original DK--but in f... Read Full Review
