A video game guide is a video game guide, but the care that went into packaging this (bubble wrap AND taping the outside to make it waterproof) was above and beyond. Excellent experience!

I used to play Donkey Kong Country alot when i was very little on the snes.My dad and i used to play the heck out of it, so when i saw this game come out i was shocked. Dounkey Kong Country Returns is almost just like the old snes games with 3-d put into it.This game also features 2 player co-op where one plays as dk and one as diddy kong.This was a nice feature for my friends to come and play it. The difficulty is massive compared to recent nintendo games. You will not be dissipointed with the hardness like the old games. DKCR as alot of replay value with trying to collect all the KONG letters and puzzle pieces for 100%. Note kremlings are not included and are replayced with tikis, but it does not matter. Also the music is just as great as the snes games with some ...

Also the music is just as great as the snes games with some remixed tracks fom DKC 1. Story: A group of new enemies called the Tiki Tribe is hypnotizing animals and using them to steal all of Donkey Kong bananas. The story is simple, plus this game isn't meant to focus on story but on gameplay. Graphics: The graphic is okay. I was expecting graphics as good on metroid prime 3, but nope. Their are still some pretty good looking levels where everything is black while the sunset shines out the red tie and hat on the monkey. Music: The music is great to listen to. Each music fit the level so well, and it brings back the old days to the original Donkey Kongs game. Gameplay: The gameplay is outstanding. Mine cart levels are intense, Rambi is fun to use, and the motion controls makes it more interactive. For example, the motion controls are used to roll, ground bound, and make donkey kong blow wind to find secrets. Be warned though, the game is extremely hard, especially in the later worlds. Extras: There is a ton of content in this game. In many levels, there are puzzle pieces in secret hidden areas that will unlock images in the gallery. Also, there are KONG letters in each level which will unlock a extra stage in the end which is by far the hardest level. There is time attack mode where you basically go through each level as fast as you can. And last, there's mirror mode where every single level is reverse. Overall: I give this game a 9, its challenging and fun. If you want a hardcore 2-D plat former, than get this game.

DKC is a game for the whole family! It is a game that you can always play again and again! The graphics are great and the characters are adorable but it is also very challenging! But I have to say, the deeper travel in this jungle, the better the game gets. The characters are easy to control and it is sort of old school, a traditional platformer. At times insane but quite enjoyable!:)
I saids it-a once and I'll most definitely says it again. Y'all f'mellers n' f'ladies neva fails to disappoint and always really knows how to run a quality job for both y'allselves n' the folks bacc at home who happen to purchase ur products, mmhmm.Case was clean, had eveything inside, no wear and tear inside and out (or at least from what I could see/tell) and runs perfect like a charm. A-thank you once again for being the awesome team that always gets the job done with charm!- Majestic George ★
For me Donkey Kong Country on the SNES was the first game I ever played as a kid. So to see that it Retro Studios was bringing life back to the series excited me. The game definitely doesn’t disappoint. It provides fun but challenging gameplay. Plus it is a perfect game for couch co-op. I would definitely recommend this game to any one who is a Donkey Kong Country fan. However I was worried about buying the game used online but DKoldies delivered. The games I ordered came in the mail quickly and was in great condition. DKoldies has now become one of my favorite places to buy old games.
Donkey Kong Country Returns for the wii has many classic elements of Donkey Kong, such as balloons for lives. It is also not a easy game, it will challenge you as a player, but leave you coming back for more. It has a very colorful vibrant landscape, with characters such as cranky kong and diddy kong accompanying you on your adventure. As far as controls go the game has a blend of the Wii's motion technology and classic simplistic gaming styles of past Wii Mario games. That being said if you do not enjoy shaking your wii remote at all then that will take the fun out of the game for you, you have to shake the remote to play it, but if you can get over the occasional remote shake then you can enjoy a wonderful Donkey Kong game
Great game! If you have a Wii and love platformers this is a must have. Condition and quality were both great and of course the customer service made it even better. Thank you DK oldies for such a great process and especially an amazing game in Pristine condition!
Like earlier Donkey Kong Country games, Donkey Kong Country Returns is a side-scrolling platformer, but although the game contains classic references, as well as levels and activities reminiscent of earlier games in the series, it is far from a remake. In fact, Donkey Kong Country Returns stands very much on its own not only in its nearly 3D status, but also in its new visual treatment and control scheme. The game features the familiar team of Donkey Kong and his little buddy Diddy Kong. The goal is make your way across Donkey Kong Island collecting bananas and search for hidden items as you swing on vines, ride mine carts and more as you avoid the variety of enemies and situations set against you. New silhouette graphical treatment of both game heroes and enemies ... MoreLike earlier Donkey Kong Country games, Donkey Kong Country Returns is a side-scrolling platformer, but although the game contains classic references, as well as levels and activities reminiscent of earlier games in the series, it is far from a remake. In fact, Donkey Kong Country Returns stands very much on its own not only in its nearly 3D status, but also in its new visual treatment and control scheme. The game features the familiar team of Donkey Kong and his little buddy Diddy Kong. The goal is make your way across Donkey Kong Island collecting bananas and search for hidden items as you swing on vines, ride mine carts and more as you avoid the variety of enemies and situations set against you. New silhouette graphical treatment of both game heroes and enemies in certain levels also introduces new challenges, as players must perform all actions from within an entirely new perspective. The game also features the players choice of either the Wii Remote/Nunchuk controller configuration, or a sideways oriented Wii Remote. In addition to simple navigation and jumping movements, the Wii Remote also allows for a variety of other actions, including: ground pounds, rolls and even air blowing with simple, yet timed shaking of the remote. In addition, the game also contains fun and user-friendly co-op functionality. In co-op mode players take on the role of either Donkey Kong or Diddy. Both characters have abilities of their own, but work together. Beyond this the game takes possibilities for cooperation even further, especially with players of different skill levels, as Diddy can if need be simply rest on Donkey Kong's shoulder and let him do all the work at times. In the event of death, either character can also be revived by the other by hitting a Donkey Kong barrel within the game. The game also continues the series' use of additional animal friends such as Rambi the Rhino, who can serve as a battering ram and can be ridden in certain areas of the game.
started play it as soon as I got my hands on it I havent beat it yet, but it is a really fun game. game was in pretty good condition. It did take a while for it to get shipped out though but I dont know whose fault that is.
