I can get a copy of Donkey Kong Jungle Beat, complete with the bongos for $25. But is this a good deal, and is Jungle Beat really any fun?

Let me know your oppinions.

I played without the bongos and it was pretty fun. The graphics are amazing and the boss battles a fun to beat

Don't even hesitate. DK JB was an amazing game, both graphically and as one of the most inventive side-scrolling platformers in years. Once you play this game and realize how amazing it is, it's easy to understand why their next game is SMG.

Incredible game, especially when you get good enough to complete some levels in one string of combos.

He's talking about Jungle beat the side scroller, not Donkey Konga.

I'd say keep your cash. I played it for about 10-15 minutes and decided to return it the next day. Very average game IMO.

It's just not the same when playing it with bongos. It's better & easier(to me at least) to play with the bongos. Playing with the GC controller just seems to take the fun out of it.
