This is a very fun game for parties, whether you have the bongos or not.
Audio- The music is good. There will a song for everyone. There are classical songs, Nintendo songs, oldies, etc. The lyrics aren't spoken sung by the actual singer, but most kids won't recognize some of the songs anyway. The bongo sounds can be good, but some of them are just annoying.
Graphics- This is the down point. The graphics are just the characters jumping around or a still background. The only reaction you see from playing well is a bunch of balloons during a drumroll. The characters themselves look dated also. Some of the text is so bright colored that you can't read it.
Value- Getting all of the unlockables will take time. There is also a mode where you need to remember all of the notes, but mot won't even try it. After unlocking everything, the only reason why you would want to play this game is if you had friends over.
Tilt (Innovation)- Even though it's a lot like DDR, this game introduces new gameplay. Because the gameplay can be addicting, Namco did a good jonb on Donkey Konga.
