    Good Platformer

    It's like Mario except faster, smoother, and harder.

    A classic!!!

    Great game overall; challenging, awesome graphics, and hours of entertainment. This game has brought back good old memories, I grew up playing the first ones on Snes and it's just a blast being able to play this game again on the go. The 3D effect is better than ever, and the interaction that brings the 3DS platform has no equal. It's a great game for an awesome value.

    A Fantastically Difficult Platformer

    Donkey Kong Country Returns is a wonderfully ported 3D remake of the Wii game of the same title. Retro has crafted a beautiful world that for a perfectly controlled Donkey Kong to traverse. The title is very difficult but to allow everyone to see the end, the developers have added a level skip in the form of a silver DK showing you the critical path. If tight platforming seems intriguing, there are few handheld titles that meet DKCR's standard.

    Classic Donkey Kong Country style.

    Some of my favorite games were the Donkey Kong Country games from the early 90's, at the time they were cutting edge and the graphics and music were amazing. This game for the 3DS reminds me a lot of those classic games, but with a lot of new features, like structures that crack and fall apart as you crash through them or swing by... a lot of moving props instead of just static backgrounds. It really keeps you on your toes.

    This game is so fun!

    This game is very enjoyable because it offers a lot of creative ways to find the items you need to complete the levels. If you can handle playing in 3D it is even more fun.
