    Challenging, but rewarding

    DKTF delivers on everything DKCR did, plus more. The levels are challenging, but are so rewarding once completed. Plus! The addition of new characters, bonuses, and secrets are a great addition to a continuation of a classic.

    This game brings back memories and it is a very fun game to play with a friend. The only downside is that if you or your friend dies, you both lose the life. Overall, a fun enjoyable game and it is definitely made correctly.

    I bought this game primarily for my younger boys. I however had to start playing the game after watching for a little bit. Some of the games that you can buy only from Nintendo are a video game experience like no other.

    This game is fun and has great replay ability due to all the characters that are available to play the game with. If you enjoyed the Donkey Kong games in the past I would recommend this one.

    I had my son shop BestBuy online, and then went to the store and got his game. He was excited to have it in his hands almost immediately instead of waiting. It's a great way to shop.

    I wasn't originally going to pick this up, but since the Nintendo Selects program really lowered the price I couldn't pass up on this deal. This game will give a sense of nostalgia to any DKC players on the SNES. A challenging game as well, highly recommend.

    This game is really fun and cute. It brings back some good memories and nostalgia from the days of Donkey Kong Country on the SNES. If you're a fan of platformers, or if you grew up with Nintendo in the 80s and 90s, this is a game you should play. :)

    I originally bought it for my 5 year old but it was a bit too complex for him...as a result the older kids have taken a liking to it. It keeps them a their company occupied.

    The 'freeze' and ice theme coupled with a tropical jungle setting is a unique one that really hasn't been done before, and the challenge you would expect of the Donkey Kong Country series is there. An excellent value as a Nintendo Selects title.

    This game is missing the classic dk country feel. The version on Wii I felt was quite a big better, but the levels in this game just seem too long. Beautiful graphics, still fun to play.

    Introduced my 6 year old son to Donkey Kong with this game. It has been a cool experience to have him discover the same characters I grew up with.

    I have always loved Donkey Kong. And for Nintendo to bring it back to a next gen console was great. My Nephew loves it and thats all that matters.

    If you've played any previous DK Country game then you know what you're getting into. Good platforming, great visuals and a descent story. I'm a fan and have played every iteration. ENJOYABLE!

    6 and 8 year old kids love it. I wind up helping them out a bit more than I thought I would have to on some of the trickier levels, but that is a win for me. Nostalgia abounding.
