    Great addition to Donkey Kong collection. If you enjoyed Donkey Kong Country Returns, you'll like Tropical Freeze's side-scrolling action and fun graphics.

    I've always loved the donkey kong series. Got this for my girlfriend as a just because kind of gift and she's hooked. Reminiscent of some of the classics.

    The game is good but it like the 1990s being in 2D.

    If you're a fan of the original Donkey Kong games, you'll enjoy this one. Everything is well done in this game and it can be very challenging at times

    It's Donkey Kong, missing some charm

    I've always loved Donkey Kong Country and this takes a slight detour from the games I grew up with. While fun, it just seems to be missing the charm that it used to have. Still a great game though!

    Still a lot of fun. The gameplay is what I remember from Donkey Kong Country Returns. The SNES titles will always be better but at least this feel similar and offer a similar difficulty level.

    I was surprised to see this on sale for $19.99 and I had to pick it up for my five year old. The difficulty definitely spikes at times but that just makes it easier for us to take turns to beat it!

    You can choose different members of the Donkey Kong family in this platformer. It feels different from Mario. Hard, but not impossible.
