Video Game Reviews of Donkey Kong 64
Customer Review: best Donkey Kong game so far!
Summary: 5 Stars
Apes, monkeys, gorillas - you name it, are very interesting animals since their easy ability of scrambling on the ground, climbing up trees, swinging between them using lianas and having long arms and legs doing various other tricks with. These movements have been used in many of the Donkey Kong games, but probably not as good and funny as in this game. Here you meet up with some old characters like Donkey Kong and Diddy Kong, but also new faces are seen. And for the one who enjoy exploring different landscapes, locating special things in order to complete the game - just like Super Mario 64 and Banjo Kazooie - this game will surely be much appriciated. Besides of the movements normal apes does, can many more things be performed by the characters. All the different apes have a certain gun and movement that only they can use and together the apes use all their specialities in order to complete the game. The beatiful nature, the melodic background music, the tough SFX sound, the cool way all the characters have been designed and the versatile gameplay in the game will surely captivate any 3D Platform lover!Customer Review: Not Quite as Good as Super Mario 64!
Summary: 4 Stars
Though this game plays a lot like Super Mario 64 it is not quite as good. That is because everything you do a each level you have to repeat as a different character so it gets too redundant. It was a lot easier to beat than Mario 64 as some of those stars are very difficult to get. There are very few in this game that are very difficult.Customer Review: One of the best games for the N64.
Summary: 5 Stars
This game is defintely one of my favorite games for the N64. DK is back and this, he has 4 other kongs with him. The other kongs are Diddy, Lanky, Tiny, and Chunky. There is also a DK Rap before the title screen.
Each Kong's collectibles have their own color.
DK: Yellow
Diddy: Red
Lanky: Blue
Tiny: Purple
Chunky: Green
There are 7 worlds (excluding Hideout Helm). In each world you must 25 golden bananas (5 for each Kong), 2 fairys, 1 battle crown, and 500 colored Bananas (100 for each Kong).
If you don't have this game, buy it now. You'll love that action that's in it. It's definitely one of my favorite games ever. You'll get to control all 5 kongs, which is cool.
So, buy the game now.
Customer Review: How is this supposed to be fun?
Summary: 2 Stars
What a weird game. I got this expecting the same type of thing that was going on in those great super nintendo games. But hey, if you like confusing and weird puzzles than you might enjoy this game. I suggest that you get it anyway but only to see how different it is than the dk country games. This is a puzzle level game, not a dk country game. I got bored and annoyed with it and stopped playing after having it for a few weeks.
These are my updated comments. Recently, I challenged my review above and my view of this game. I decided to learn how to get good at it, thus, leading to enjoyment of the game. I actually got hooked, playing it for over 80 hours so far. Point being, this game is not awful, it is, however, tricky. If you enjoy Glover or even if you somehow found a way to enjoy Mario 64, you will like this game. I would say that my new rating of fun would be 4 of 5 and my new overall would be 3 of 5. The overall is still low because of how frustrating this game is.
Customer Review: Another Excellent Donkey Kong Game
Summary: 5 Stars
My mom bought this for me for my birthday when I was turning 10. It comes with the only Donkey Kong 64 which is probably the biggest platform game of Nintendo 64. It has great graphics and the music matches each world perfectly. I love how you have to use each of the 5 characters to beat the level instead of just picking your favorite. Each character brings different strengths to the table and have different weapons, moves, and instruments. The boss battles are clever and creative and the final battle against King K. Rool is one of the best in all of video games.
