    This is a fun game to play. I've been a fan of Donkey Kong since forever. This one is a lot more challenging to me. But I love it. I do hope there's more in the future.

    The graphics are awesome and the levels are really fun. Funky Kong is a blast to use. My son absolutely loves the game- as do I.

    Fun to play, although I am stuck on a level I cant pass, so I keep repeating ever so often. I am not a gamer so may be lacking a few skills

    Game was enjoyable. Controls were easy to navigate and play through. Haven't completed the game yet, but I normally just game while I am on a plane. Great all around game!

    I have played many a games featuring DK but this game is one of the best. It is adventure filled and for an easier time use Funky Kong. I know you'll have a blast as you conquer the many levels this game has to offer.

    This platformer is difficult if you are not using the easy mode. Nothing that doesn't take a few tries and gaining lives is easy too. The price is high, 10 dollars more than when it came out on the Wii U. You can get it for 10 off sometimes but I think it's still too high.

    This is one of the best DK country games ever made as well as just the best 2D platformer ever made. Super fun and accessible, especially with the new mechanic with Funky Kong. I highky reccommend this game as its a blast of fun with a banger soundtrack youll have stuck in your head for ages.

    Takes me back to the OG version. It's not quite easy but also not too hard to pass through levels.

    A great side scrolling platformer. Certainly takes notes from the original. Love to sit down and just play a level or 2. Fun and easy to get into.

    I have only played it a little so far but I'm very happy with it. It's a little too hard for my 3 yo, but I probably shouldn't have expected it to be playable. It is actually very playable as a team game with a younger kid (as long as one of you knows what they're doing :) ). If you enjoyed Donkey Kong Country Returns, you will definitely like this. I miss the Kremlins from the original Rare games, but all the Kongs are present and lots of fun to play. Funky is especially fun. My one complaint is that Nintendo just keeps repackaging old games and charging full price. But hey, it's an awesome game and worth buying if you never played it.
