Every retro gamer loves this game, especially the Mario fans, this game was the first game Mario came in. Donkey Kong. One of the greatest Arcade games of all time, and Mario's name was Jumpman at the time. One of the earliest platformers as well. Let's start the review. Bit by bit.

DIFFICULTY: 4
This game isn't that hard at all. The only tough part of the game is the jumps of obstacles, barrels, or enemies. That is pretty much it. But difficulty does increase as you continue through levels. As you continue on, there will be a difficulty increase. Its one of those games that you are either a master at or you might struggle at. It depends on the skill.

DEPTH: 1
This game is EXTREMELY short. In total there is about 3 levels in the entire game! Which is stupid how little it has, but this was first made in the early 80's so I can't complain and compare to today's stuff. So, here is the levels for each.
Screen 1 (25 m), Jumpman must scale a seven-story construction site made of crooked girders and ladders while jumping over or hammering barrels and oil barrels tossed by Donkey Kong. The hero must also avoid flaming balls, which generate when an oil barrel collides with an oil drum. Players routinely call this screen "Barrels".[7]
Screen 2 (50 m), Jumpman must climb a five-story structure of conveyor belts, each of which transports cement pans. The fireballs also make another appearance. This screen is sometimes referred to as the "Factory" or "Pie Factory" due to the resemblance of the cement pans to pies.[7]
Screen 3 (75 m), Jumpman rides up and down elevators while avoiding fireballs and bouncing objects, presumably spring weights. The bouncing weights (the hero's greatest danger in this screen) emerge on the top level and drop near the rightmost elevator. The screen's common name is "Elevators".[7] This screen appears as an unlockable stage in Super Smash Bros. Brawl.
Screen 4 (100 m), Jumpman must remove the eight rivets which support Donkey Kong. The fireballs remain the primary obstacle. Removing the final rivet causes Donkey Kong to fall and the hero to be reunited with Pauline. This is the final screen of each level. Players refer to this screen as "Rivets".

It also restarts every time you beat the game...because its arcade style. Score count.

STORY: 2
The game gives you absolutely no story, but I looked up what the story was and it is this: The eponymous Donkey Kong character is the game's de facto villain. He is the pet of a carpenter named Jumpman. The carpenter mistreats the ape, so Donkey Kong escapes and kidnaps Jumpman's girlfriend, originally known as the Lady, but later named Pauline. The player must take the role of Jumpman and rescue the girl.

ADDICTIVENESS: 10
This game is VERY addicting in my end. There is really no end to this game, you can keep playing forever in one sitting, and I love that. I played countless hours playing this classic. Great game to play when you are bored.

SOUND: 5
There is very little music and sound. There is only 3 music differences, the climbing theme, the meeting of Pauline, and the defeat of Donkey Kong theme. There is sound effects but there is bouncing, jumps, point wins, and all that. Its a win, but there is little effort to it, so its down lower.

GRAPHICS: 4
There is a simple 8 bit graphic system to it, nothing more and nothing less, that is about it. There is nothing else to it. Only Point change and win display. There is nothing special in graphics. Nothing at all, really.

OVERALL: 9.3
Overall, this game is super fun and addicting, there is little story told, but I pretty much told you the unknown story right there. So, is this a great game? Yeah, it is. I suggest you go to the RGR and go ahead and play this game NOW.

Have a Great Day, everyone.
