Video Game Reviews of Donkey Kong Country
Customer Review: Not the Same as the Super NES
Summary: 3 Stars
While the main portion of the game is 95 percent the same as The Original Super NES Version, There are a few flaws.
A. The music and sound effects are slightly different
B. The Graphics are slightly different
C. There are 2 new mini games.
Now, some people may not consider the mini games a flaw but I don't believe in updating the classics with new material. Now, An album re-released many years later with material recorded back in the day that was cut, different story.
Plus, when it comes to the main portion of the game, it's no different that the Game Boy Color Release, which I really didn't care for either. If this game was a straight transfer of The Original Super NES Version, I would probably like it better.

Summary: 3 Stars
the last level of this game is one of the most annoying levels in any game i have ever played. i just needed to say thatCustomer Review: Not perfect but it'll do.
Summary: 4 Stars
Let me start off by saying that this is a great product. I enjoy it quite a bit and it arrived from the seller very quickly!
But, alas, nothing is perfect in this world. I was expecting a fairly close port of the original game... but this is pretty different. The graphics were a BIG let down, and the included mini-games fall far short of fun/interesting... and to be honest with you I could not even find a reason for the mini-games other than wasting a few minutes- you don't get life balloons or bananas for winning! Controls are also VERY poor. Nintendo fudged a little bit and you can tell you get some assistance but at the same time there are parts where only blind luck will get you through and others where this same assistance actually gets you killed! It's still a GREAT value though... original SNES carts are not easy to come by and are priced higher than this too. It's also very functional and well deserving of four stars!
Customer Review: DK country!!
Summary: 5 Stars
This game is really pretty fun. The evil crocidle (he's not what your imagining, he stands up, his belly is gold, and he is a king)k.rool has stolen all of donkey kong's (donkey kong is a famous video game character, he is an ape, but he's kind of cute) bannanas! You'd probably think a pretty cruddy plot, huh? Well, it's not that bad. You even have help from Donkey kong's nephew, diddy kong! Cranky kong, candy kong, and funky kong will also help you.
Now let's talk about the gameplay. You see this is a side-scrolling game which is a view from the side where you can jump, enemies will hurt you and make you lose lives, if you lose them all, its game over which makes you lose check points, etc. (places in levels [you start from the beginning of the level, you must find your way to the end to progress to the next one] where you can continue from if you lose) Diddy kong will fallow you wherever you go however he does not limit your speed. On the level-selection map, left on control pad makes you go back to levels you have already beaten, right makes you continue forward a level, one that may or may have not be beaten. Up and down are the same (you might need them giving left and right no effect depending on where you are). The A button makes you start the level you are on, start opens the menu where you can save, etc. select asks you if you wnat to quit, and the B button lets you cancel these two menus. In a level, up lets you climb up ropes you have jumped on, right makes you move right, left makes you move left, down makes you duck and clib down ropes, and when you are playing as donkey kong down and the B button is a special attack. A button is jump, and the B button is most important. By holding down B, you can go MUCH faster. It is actually essential for some places. If you just press the B button, you swiftly roll into and enemy (you can also jump on them to beat them). Select lets you switch between donkey kong and diddy kong (however whoever is beaten the one behind take his place) and finnaly start lets you pause (you can quit the level if you have beaten it). The graphic are AWSOME even though this game was orginally a 16-bit snes game. You can do all of the levels over again, you can even battle the bosses again, and you cn EVEN battle k.rool (the final boss) again (however don't worry, its still saves once you beat the game). The game is really fun, you can ride on four animals, a rhino, an ostrich, a frog, and a sword fish (only underwater). There are also two mini games, one where you have to time your button presses to dance right, and one where you must fish specific fish using your hook. And finnaly, there's DK attack where you must improve your score as you do timed stages (the ones you have beaten in the real game), bannanas which are like coins, get 100 and you get an extra life, instead add to your score, you can pick up more time in various places, etc. All in all, it is a really great game, if you like DK games, Want a cute sidescroller, or like sidescrolling games, you should get it.
Customer Review: I hope there's a DK 4!
