Donkey Kong Barrel Blast - Wii 4.5

[QUOTE="tomarlyn"]

[QUOTE="Robio_basic"]Ehhhh, I don't see how any rational minded person could have expected anything higher than this. It's bad enough when a game with traditional controls gets ported over to the Wii's control set-up, but when a game originally designed for those stupid bongos gets ported to Wii controls. . . for the love of the god that's just stupid. The game should have just been developed for the GC and left at that.Eponique

Exactly. People are bashing the dev team but it was Nintendo's decision to swap Bongo's for waggle.

It's not even the same game. Donkey Kong Jungle Beat/Konga was a rhythm game and this is an arcade racer.

No and no (above).

This was built for bongo's, using the bongo's to propel yourself instead of more of that mindless waggle. Its what it was conceptualized for. Jungle Beat and Konga were different games yes, Barrel Blast was a cancelled Gamecube game shifted to Wii for teh sales. The moment NINTENDO dumped the bongo's was the moment it failed.

So waggle is "mindless," but banging bongos isn't?

Waggle or no waggle, this game was set to suck either way. You honestly think with the Bongos it would've been good?

[QUOTE="gamer0100"]The effects of Milking a series. The other bongo games were good. They just made 1 to many. Wasnt expecting anyhting over a 6
Guess i was right.

No. This is a completely different game.

Donkey Kong Racing has no relation with this dumb game.

:lol:, An other flop for the wii.TheJuiceyBar

How is it a flop? It was never hyped, as a matter of fact we knew this was going to suck.

I don't know if it would have made it good, but it would have been better. I mean, we're talking about changing the fundemental controls of the game which are extremely unique in the first place, and swapping it for something else completely out in left field. It'd be like taking the dance pad out of DDR and replacing it with waggle controls. . . hey that reminds me, anyone here ever play Boogie?

Its good by Wii standards

Leave the 5 year olds to their delusions, they think this is good as long your opinion says it

In other words, GAMING IS DEAD
