Too hard

This game can be fun but the unresponsive controls make it ridiculously hard. I don’t understand how a young child would pass this game if it’s ridiculously hard for an adult. I would rate this higher if the difficulty more manageable. It makes the game u enjoyable.
Happy Son!

Unsatisfying experience

Questioner - 1 year ago
Pros: graphics and music; clever level themes Cons: drumming is the same button as roll; main campaign is too short; “optional” content is mostly too repetitive, frustrating, uninventive, and unrewarding to be worthwhile; many cheap ways to die; unresponsive controls; enemies as a whole are unintimidating; hitboxes are often unpredictable; Funky Kong sounds very strange

It's been fun, but for my 6yr old and I it's not easy. We've played several times and haven't gotten far. It's mostly us I'm sure.

Romanator287 - 2 years ago, Verified purchaser
Love this game so far! All the levels are colorful and very detailed and long full of fun collectibles! One level I hated so far was level 2-K from world 2 earned after getting all the KONG letters in world 2. That game contains pro level precision for such a short level yet even after suffering for 45 minutes I passed it, but I still have to get the leftover puzzle pieces left lol. Fun and challenging game but has an easier mode for anyone. Recommend for any newer gamer and even pro gamers!

Love this game! The graphics are amazing. Quite a bit more challenging than the Super Nintendo Donkey Kong. If you’re a DK fan you’ll enjoy it.

We love this game, graphics are beautiful, vivid colors and it is a challenging game, but with patience we managed to unlock all the levels and beat it. My 5 year old has mastered many levels, he is able to jump, climb, swing not problem. Very happy with this purchase!

I loved the Donkey Kong Country games for the other Nintendo systems, I knew I would like this on as well. It doesn't disappoint. In true DK Country fashion, it's a fun game!

controls are horrible and you have to push and old down multiple buttons at once to do a simple task. this game isn't kid friendly or user friendly. whoever made this game should be fired. it's beyond frustrating and not enjoyable to play.
Worth your money

The levels are pretty long and so fun! You can play alone but it’s more exciting playing with someone else. My boyfriend and I play as DK & Diddy Kong & he can put me on his back. It’s not the exact same as the original but the graphics are still great!
Excellent Game

A fun game to share with my two boys. I grew up playing the classics and I am happy to spread that along to my kids. The graphics are fantastic without being over the top.It really looks like a better and updated version of donkey kong country. The music and sound effects are spot on and adds to the setting of each stage. Easy to enjoy for hours.

This is a gift for Christmas so I have not actually played this game. I have played other Donkey Kong games and they have been great, so I have no doubt that this one will be great too. My review is just to say that I'm happy with the price of the game. And also, I ordered it online and it came earlier than the initial estimated delivery date.
Some elements are fun, but not worth it

If I wanted to play a horrible version of flappy bird, than I would just do that. Some of the game is really fun, but I hated the rocket barrel with a passion. Made me quit playing more than once.
