This game is a great addition to my collection. I like how easy it is to play.

One of the best side scrolling platformers! Can be frustrating at times but is very fun! Reminds me of the old Donky Kong Country games for snes.

So much fun! Better than the DK games from my childhood but not completely different either. A must for every gamer

I remember playing this game when I was a little girl. The music is absolutely amazing and it's so addicting we beat the game in two days but only because I went to sleep. You will not be disappointed!

This is fun and easy game. The co-op section is easy and fun to play even with little kids.

I tend to think that Nintendo platformers are in a league of their own, and that the newer (post-Gamecube) versions have not lived up to the heights of the 90s Nintendo hits. Tropical Freeze (which I missed on Wii U) is the best Nintendo 2D platformer (and therefore the best in the genre) since the 90s, either Yoshi’s Island or DKC2 depending on your taste, because of the inventive and challenging level design. Definitely a big step up from its predecessor, DKC Returns (originally on Wii). If you have a Switch, love 90s Nintendo 2D platformers, and haven’t played this yet, you should absolutely check it out.

This game is a must have if you have a nintendo switch! music and gameplay is amazing.

I grew up with Donkey Kong and Mario games and have always loved them. This game is fun, but it's really difficult (at least to me!). I recently purchased Mario Brothers U Deluxe, and I like how it starts out easy and gets progressively harder. This game seems hard from the start. But again, it's fun, so if you're up for a challenge, get this game!

Adventure/platforming are my favorite type of games, since my first game was Super Mario World and my second and favorite of all time was Donkey Kong Country. I don't like to compare that much since all games gives you a different kind of experience, but based on the fun fact, this one offers the same fun from the SNES ones. Characters feels a little bit slower but they have better timing and the levels are incredibly detailed with secrets, traps, characters, and so on. Music is composed by the same composer from the SNES trilogy, kremlings were missed, and the challenge is high. This is a kind of difficult game for average gamers. But the experience is incredible. Highly recommended.

Extremely difficult game but recommended for little children even though it is a children's game

Donkey Kong: Tropical Freeze is a game to be savoured. Take your time, plot your course then work on nailing the execution - repeatedly, as the case may often be. It's the least you can do, really, given how Retro Studios has nailed the not inconsiderable task of taking some fairly dusty old platformers and crafting something that feels vibrant and alive - and it's all done in the detail. There's a refined physicality to Donkey Kong's movement - another thing you lose when playing as Funky Kong, sadly - with levels there to be bashed and bounded throuch. Bar Tokyo EAD's bongo-infused Jungle Beat, no other game has nailed the heavy-palmed, gamboling momentum of Donkey Kong so effectively.

This is my favorite switch game. It is fun, and challenging without being frustrating and the levels and worlds all have unique things about them, specially the boss fights.

This game is a blast! Especially with a friend or significant other…if you both have patience. This game can be downright difficult but I love it!

Donkey Kong Country Tropical Freeze is a beautiful, difficult 2D platformer that will put your skills to the test. You play as Donkey Kong with one of your sidekicks (Diddy, Dixie, and Cranky) trying to save the island from a group of vikings. While the game is difficult, the game is fair. If you die you don't feel cheated. The presentation is also amazing as Donkey Kong games have never looked better and David Wise is back for the soundtrack with some great music. If your worried about it being too difficult there is a new "Funky" mode that makes the game a bit easier. If you didn't own it on Wii U or just want it portable Donkey Kong Tropical Freeze is a must play.

Love Donkey Kong. Great game. Came quickly. It's a nice twist on the franchise.

Great game. Lots of fun for kids and parents alike.

Got this as a gift and have to say the reviews have been on point. Game is a lot of fun and creative. Funky mode makes this "easier", but the game is still tough and can get frustrating.

I have always loved the Donkey Kong Country games and happy to have this come out for the switch. Way more convenient to play than setting it up on the Wii U. Also nice to have Funky Kong as an added player for ease of play!

Donkey Kong Country Tropical Freeze was a great game on Wii U, but like many titles on Wii U it was limited to 720p (or 480p on the GamePad) and could only be played at home. This release plays in beautiful 1080p (or 720p in portable mode) and runs incredibly smooth. The addition of the new Funky Kong mode allows you to not take damage from spikes so you can pass the game slightly more easily. Still even using Funky this game can still be incredibly challenging and rewarding like other Donkey Kong Country games before it. I highly recommend this game even though yes it's initial cost is $59.99 instead of the Wii U releases initial $49.99.

I love these Donkey Kong games, while not a completely new game it is a good quality port from the Wii U version and with some new features. But being a port it should have been cheaper.
