I purchased this for my sons birthday. Now im always looking for excuses to play it. This games is loads of fun for anyone.

Donkey Kong Tropical Freeze is one of the best 2D platformers of all time. It belongs on the Mt. Rushmore of the genre along with your finest Marios and Sonics. Seriously, it's that good. The brilliant music by David Wise alone warrants a purchase for the game. Combine that with some of the most clever level design and beautiful graphics you will find on the Switch, and you have an all time classic. The gameplay is challenging but utterly satisfying to a pitch-perfect degree. I love Mario, but this game stomps all over New Super Mario Bros. U. It's a treasure.

Beautiful graphics and music with a really fun storyline. The controls are as tight as ever and this game has some of the best level design I’ve ever seen in a scroller! Must buy for the switch if you like any of the dk franchise!

Missed out on all these Wii U games. This is definitely scratching my donkey Kong itch. Here goes to hoping for a new donkey Kong game... fingers crossed for a dk64 sequel!

The Wii U version was 5 out of 5 stars. The switch version is actually 6 out of 5 stars because of the new funky mode!

So before you buy this, remember this game is hard. It's an excellent port with short load times and a few extras. Funky Kong makes the game easier, and because levels are so hard they still allow you to proceed to the next one if you are using funky mode. It's a hard platformer but it's based on looking forward and learning what to expect. You basically play until you know the level well enough that you can get through the obstacles easier. I found it a good reminder of when i used to play Donkey Kong on my gameboy, it's not for everyone but I loved the game.

Donkey Kong Country: Tropical Freeze is a very fun platform game.

Gameplay, graphics, all are top notch. This game is a blast to play and highly recommended if you’re a fan of the originals.

This game is really fantastic! The music is fantastic, the game play is challenging, and the game looks beautiful! It is a super hard game that shows no mercy, but that is part of the fun!

Dk donkey kong haha. Buy now great platformer to play with family

This game is an amazing homage to it's roots on the Super Nintendo. It's a platformer that is, at times, very challenging but it also has a lot of depth and is extremely fun.

Great visuals and music. Easy to use and control. Great adventures.

I'm not a huge fan of 2-D platformers. They have to be special to keep my interest for very long. The DKC series, especially the Returns series, does just that. I've never played a 2-D that keeps me as intrigued and surprised like this series. Specifically for this game, I've played through the first few levels so far, and I'm constantly saying stuff like, "Wow" and "That's crazy" and "Didn't expect that". Unique level design, extremely fun and satisfying gameplay makes this a must play game for anyone who gets enjoyment from platformers.

Two things about this game that are a bit disappointing: Nintendo is actually charging more for it on Switch than they did when it originally released on Wii U, and they didn't package it with DKC Returns, like I really hoped they would, similar to Bayonetta 1+2. That said, as soon as this game was announced for Switch I knew I was getting it. Tropical Freeze was one of my personal favorite Wii U titles and I truly think it is one of the best 2D platformers of all-time. Level design, difficulty, soundtrack, controls, they're all just about perfect. If you never played this game on Wii U, buy it! It absolutely deserves to be in your collection.

I haven't played Donkey Kong Country in years since the SNES days. I have to say I haven't had this much fun in years with a video game. The levels are very well designed. However they are at times very difficult. This is a good thing if you want a challenge. Your timing needs to be very very precise. Funky Mode definitely makes things easier as I initially struggled without having it on. This is a must own if you have a Switch.

Having grown up with the classic Donkey Kong games, I found Tropical Freeze to be a great homage to them. The levels are incredibly well designed, with fun and interesting mechanics and obstacles, all in different themes. The puzzles and secret exits can be a challenge to find, and one that adds to replayability. Sometimes death feels a little cheap, like when they introduce a new obstacle too quickly for you to react to it. But lives are abundant, and it never feels like a grind to overcome a level. It is also a very fun game to watch other people play, and two pairs of eyes can help you find secrets better!

Tight controls and gorgeous graphics, along with very unique level design are the staples of this game. I just wish the price was cheaper, but it's worth the $60.

The new Nintendo Switch Donkey Kong game is really fun. It is two player and has more characters than I can remember being in the Nintendo Wii version. The gameplay is still two dimensional but has times where the screen rotates to make it a bit more engaging. The new levels in this game are just as difficult as previous versions, but my 7 year old had trouble at times even at the beginning levels of this game. I would totally recommend playing this during family time to be able to help younger ones through the levels. All-in-all, a lot of fun and worth the money.

This is a tough game to master. For an older game, the port of this is classic is just as fun as ever. Outside of the graphical upgrade it still plays like the Wii U version which isn’t a bad thing. Note that really young kids can get easily frustrated with the difficulty
