    Came with our bundle, so it's not like I sought it out. Pretty similar to the previous installment on the Wii, so it's a good, if not exciting, game.

    Tropical Freeze plays almost the same way as DK Country had played on the SNES. If you enjoyed the previous DK games then you will love this one.

    "Tropical Freeze" is a great addition to the DK series. It has outstanding graphics, it's fast-paced with different challenges at every level. It's very challenging and I had to replay many levels to complete them, but it was never frustrating as some games are.

    A gorgeous argument for the platformer's vitality!

    DKC Returns on the Wii was a ton of fun, but now that Tropical Freeze has come out, you could easily make the argument that Returns was just laying the groundwork for the real masterpiece on the Wii U. Without that obnoxious roll-mapped-to-a-controller-shake issue that damaged the entire Returns experience for a lot of people, and an expanded cast of supporting characters for the big gorilla, Retro was free to create a powerful, challenging, and compelling old-school-style video gaming experience. It's not easy, but it is fair, and that fairness keeps you coming back and burning life after life after life in the hopes of just beating one more level. And the bosses - goodness, the bosses! As challenging as anything I've faced in the 21st century of gaming! Super Nintendo purists, be warned: this isn't just as good as the old Donkey Kong Country games; Tropical Freeze is better.

    The game is awesome. It has great graphics and the audio is top notch. It has some of the best platforming out today. It may be a little difficult for smaller kids but veterans will definitely enjoy it. I have had a blast with it. Nintendo has done it again.

    This is a fun and very challenging game. Very well done graphics with fun level design. Donkey Kong's sides kicks add alot of variety to the ways you can finish a level and their are many collectibles to be found. A must own wii u game for fans of Nintendo.
