Review
Certainly Stands with the Rest of the Series
I loved the original Donkey Kong Country titles. The first game in the series was actually the first game I ever owned, while the second game in the series is one of my favorite games of all time. I loved the visuals, the soundtracks, and the satisfaction of getting through a challenging level. Returns was good as well, but not as memorable for me on a personal level.
Somehow, I wasn't expecting the world of Tropical Freeze. I was a bit disappointed when Retro Studios revealed it as their Wii U title and kind of bitter that this meant no Metroid Prime for at least another three or four years. I considered not pre-ordering the title, but had to cave when I learned David Wise was composing the soundtrack. I then figured that the game would be well-designed and lovely to listen to, but unexciting otherwise.
I'm happy to say that I was wrong; the game is a masterpiece. The soundtrack is even better than I expected and rivals Diddy Kong's Quest as the best in the...
Yet another reason why Nintendo truly has the best exclusives.
Console not selling well? Phooey. With games like this, Ya gotta wonder why. This is why people support Nintendo. I saw one random negative review on the web that made me laugh. Make no mistake, Donkey Kong is a fantastic video game and one of the most amazing platformers you'll ever play. Don't let the characters of this game fool you, this game gets extremely challenging later on and will challenge the most veteran gamers out there. It's easily got one of the best soundtracks I've ever heard, probably as good if not better than 3D world. Has full ProU controller support and you can play with a friend locally. This one will keep you busy till Mario Kart comes out. Don't delay, there is a reason this game is getting perfect reviews from customers. ***** My seal of approval! Get it!
"MAN THESE BANANAS ARE GOOD!"
Bonus points for any who caught the Brian Regan reference in the title...
In the past five or so years, two previously dormant video game icons have made major comebacks, starring in some of the best 2-D platformers in decades. Of course, I'm referring to Donkey Kong and Rayman. Both characters offer games that are about as awesome as 2-D platformers get these days, and Donkey Kong Country: Tropical Freeze is yet another modern DK masterpiece to add to the list (Rayman Legends was also stellar). This game is simply stupendous, in so many ways. Not only is it filled with nostalgia for the DK of my childhood, but it also adds a ton of new ideas that are not only cool for DK, but for 2-D...
