Video Game Reviews of Donkey Kong Country
Customer Review: They say hindsight is 20/20...This game wasn't as great as I remembered.
Summary: 3 Stars
What's sad is that this game seemed like a huge achievement back in '94. Maybe I was too young to realize it back then. Maybe it was lack of experience. I thought this game rocked when it first came out, and unfortunately I'm no longer sure why.
To me, it seems this is a fairly average platformer wrapped up in a beautiful package. The graphics were novel and unique at the time, but I guess now I just think they're awkward and weird looking. My main beef with the game is the control and the frustrating level design. The mine cart stages and the ones where you have to fire yourself from barrel to barrel...somehow I beat this when I was 6. I can't fathom how I did that now.
Another minor problem is that the bosses are all pretty easy. Four hits usually does the trick.
I don't recommend re-playing this oldie. Unlike Sonic and Mario World, this one may be better left as a childhood memory.
