Video Game Reviews of Donkey Kong Land
Customer Review: Underrated classic
Summary: 4 Stars
I have to say this game is pretty underrated. Yes, it's hard to see on a old gameboy screen but that's why it has the "Super Gameboy logo" on it. The video game itself had good gameplay and decent controls. There are a few things about this game that make it stand out though.
1. It's not a clone to DKC : Unlike the sequels, this game takes place in entirely new areas than it's snes counterpart. Dk and Diddy go into the clouds, a city, coco island (Mario Kart 64 looking lever) and an underwater temple. A few of the bosses are the same but others have been added it.
2. Dk/Diddy Coins: There are these weird coins to collect that have our hero's faces on them. I'm not sure what there for, but I think it has something to due if you beat the game 101%. \
3. "KONG" now save your game and no outside help: Cranky, Funky and Candy are not in the game. I believe this was to make the game a challenge. Also, to save your game, you must collect all for Kong letters.
Overall, this was not what i expected. i thought it would just be a somewhat clone of DKC. But what i got, was one of the most unique games ever.
Description of Donkey Kong Land
The original instigator of monkey mayhem is here in DONKEY KONG LAND for the Game Boy. Once again, those nasty reptile Kremlings are wreaking havoc in Donkey Kong Land, and it's up to Donkey Kong and his little buddy Diddy to stop them. DONKEY KONG LAND spans 30 original levels that cover snowy mountains, deep jungles, forgotten temples, underwater passages, and musty old pirate ships. The game is also big on secrets, with 40 hidden areas to uncover. To get through the levels, you'll want to enlist the help of some animal friends Rambi the rhino and Espresso the ostrich return from the DONKEY KONG COUNTRY series of games, and they're joined by a flying pig, a mole, a ram, and even a tornado! The graphics utilize the highly advanced ACM technique for maximum detail and animation, resulting in some excellent visuals. Battery backup saves your progress in your banana-collecting quest so you can continue another time.All Games
