Video Game Reviews of Donkey Kong Country
Customer Review: SNES games
Summary: 5 Stars
This game is the first game in the DK series put out by SNES. And as with most things i think that the original is always better. I love all the DK games but this one is my personal favorite. This game was a technical marvel in its time. There are so many levels and hidden items. Even next to the games of today this game could hold its own. Its a great game. You wont regret buying this.Customer Review: They say hindsight is 20/20...This game wasn't as great as I remembered.

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.
Customer Review: Best video game ever.

The above title is not an exaggeration -- I don't throw the honor around lightly, and I've only ever given it to Zelda: A Link to the Past (also on SNES). The controls are simple and game play is just easy enough to keep me interested, but hard enough to be challenging. This game is especially fun when played cooperatively, with player 2 as Diddy Kong.Customer Review: Donkey Kong Country goodness!

This has to be one of my favorite Super Nintendo games of all time. The graphics are excellent for its time; however, they still stand up to todays standards in 2d sidescrolling platformer games. I recommend getting it for the Super Nintendo, Wii Virtual Console, and Game Boy Advance.
This game consists of three game files you can choose to use. Also make sure the game has a game battery that works or you will not be able to save your progress once you access Candy's Save Point located closer to the end of the first world (Kongo Jungle). Futhermore, playing the game with a dead back up battery is no fun especially when you do not feel like playing it anymore for the day; and the next day you turn the Super Nintendo on and the progress that you worked hard for did not save like it should. On the other hand, the music is very catchy making you want to sing it while you are in the levels especially in the first level.
Customer Review: Great Game
Summary: 5 Stars
I absolutely love the Donkey Kong Country series. They all have a great soundtrack, wonderful graphics, and are somewhat difficult-but very enertaining. This DKC is great because the two characters really balance each other out (one is more for stregnth, the other speed) and it really sets the standard for the other two. The only con about this game is that I like having to search for the DK coins (like in DKC 2 & 3). It makes the game more challenging and keeps you entertained longer. Other than that, I really enjoy this game, and would recommend this to anyone.
