Donkey Kong Country is part of a legendary trilogy of games for the SNES. Donkey Kong Country is a typical platformer style game with 36-bit graphics, featuring pre rendered sprites with a 3D effect.

DKC features a tag team system, featuring Diddy Kong and Donkey Kong as the main protagonists. Both kongs have their own special abilities and the same basic moves.

Now on with the review !

The graphics get a solid 10 just for the fact they look so well rendered. They’re quite different from other games compared to the Mario series. They have a more 3D rendered look and they just look gorgeous. The game takes full advantage of what the SNES has to offer.

The sound also gets a solid 10. Donkey Kong Country has an impressive musical score and many of the songs are quite catchy. Each level features it’s own music with some themes repeating (Under Water Themes, Boss Battles Etc) I never get tired of hearing the music, and it’s not overly repetitive.

Addictiveness gets an 8. This game can be a little difficult but I always find myself coming back for more all of the time. Even if I do get tired of it I always get a good hankering to play it again.

The Story gets an 8, The story starts out with DK discovering that his banana hoard has been stolen by the kremlins and his buddy, Diddy Kong, Has been kidnapped and stuffed into a barrel. He and Diddy must go on an adventure across the island to recover the bananas and defeat the kremlins along the way. Overall this story is pretty simple and straightforward yet enjoyable.

Depth gets an 8. There are many levels and hubs within this game and they never disappoint ! There are many things to do, Collect Bananas, Animal Buddy mini games, and collecting Kong letters for extra lives. Overall there is a total of 40 levels in the game which will provide you endless hours of frustrating yet exciting entertainment.

Difficulty gets a 7 just for the fact this game can be plain frustrating. With only two health bars aka the kongs and the enemies you face this game can become quite difficult and hard at times. At some points it just becomes too much and I need a break from it. In the earlier levels the game starts off very simple and progresses in difficulty.

Over All Donkey Kong Country is a pretty solid game that people of all ages can enjoy !

King-Giga : This review is a bit short, though it is easy to read and the content is good, so all in all, you did a good job with this.

zanderlex : Thank you ! I was worried it wasn't good but I feel encouraged to try to write more reviews in the future. I'll try to make them a little longer as well !
