One of the best Gamecube games ever made, and it uses the NGC bongo drums. But, you're talking about the Wii version. I don't know what kind of peripheral is used with that version, but yes, it's a very fun platformer. A great game just like the original DKC games on the SNES, and I highly recommend it.

The game was built for the bongos, so get the GCN version.

with the bongos? absolutely fun. with the controller? didnt play, but sounds like a generic platformer (the fun was in playing with the bongos, so it's not all that fun anymore, i guess)

I played the Gamecube one with the bongos. It was a lot of fun.

No clue about the Wii one.

DK Jungle Beat is a great game. I recommend to get it for GCN. On the Wii: no bongos=no fun...

I've only played the Wii version. It was okay, but not great by any means. The controls aren't very good and there's tons of waggle.

Wii version is better IMO.

the Bongo controls were crap I just couldnt get used to it.

Wii version also had a better combo system and 2 new stages;)

I really loved the GC version but I feel the wii version is superior! being able to control my wave blasts and the fighting is much more fun.
