    This is the sequel to the wii game. Both were fun but this one does some really fun stuff with the camera and it just has a high quality polish all over the game. Be cautious however as this is challenging for new players. If you have the determination to stick with it you will find a rewarding and fun game. Recommended for old school fans.

    Nintendo doing what they do best, making side scrolling platformers. Donkey King is their more challenging version of these and this one doesn't disappoint. You will be busy for weeks trying to 100% everything or just fun play for kids and casuals just trying to make it through at bare minimum. Excellent excellent game.

    Bought this as a gift for my wife. She loves the Donkey Kong and Mario games because of the innovative gameplay. The game is easy to pick up and play and you don't have to get tied up in any major story. Fun for all ages and plenty of challenges for those looking to collect all hidden items and achieve 100% completion.

    If you liked the original Donkey Kong Country games for the old Nintendo systems, this will be right up your alley. The game is just pure fun. Glad I got it. Haven't beaten it yet because it starts off pretty easy, then gets super challenging out of the blue. But other than that, it's great. Definitely recommend it.

    Hard for younger kids to play. Too easy to get killed. Would be better if there were levels designed for different skill level players.

    After playing a game like Rayman Legends, it is hard to appreciate other platformers. This game has the classic Donkey Kong feel with some added new twists. I do like the stylized graphics but wish they looked more like the fresh animated look of Rayman Legends. Overall, this was a fun game to play through.

    Good classic, Nintendo platformer, updated for this decade. Graphics are great, soundtrack is by david wise, who did he original DK2, lot of references and throwbacks that fans will appreciate. Challenging from pared to many games today, but same type of difficulty as from games from the 90s and 80s.

    Wii keeps the Donkey Kong saga alive with reasonable graphics and good game play. It is interesting how this game has evolved.

    Tried playing a few stages in two player mode, and it's not as much fun as I would hope. The game itself is fun and obviously very similar to the Mario style games. However, as second player, you don't get to play or do much. You are just there, sort of getting in the way. Maybe I need to play it more and see if it gets better with two players, but so far I think it is more of a one player game.
