When rumours of new 32-bit consoles were becoming a reality many fans began to forget about the Snes, that was of course until the release of `Donkey Kong Country'. A game so ahead of it's time that at it's first E3 showing many reporters mistook it for a N64 game.

With a revolutionary graphics engine and fantastic gameplay to boot, `Dkc' took the gaming world by storm and indeed acted as the final nail in the Megadrives coffin. Also notable is that this was the first `Big hit' from gaming giants Rare who would follow with the classics `Goldeneye' and `Perfect Dark'.

Another important point is that this game `is' completely without flaws, the rendering is perfect and the games music is one of the best soundtracks ever recorded. In technical retrospect `Dkc' is a 2d sidescroller with a 3d graphics overhaul, in English any fan of platformers should not be without this inspirational classic.

`Donkey Kong Country' was also the largest ever cartridge at the time carrying a massive (at the time) 32mb, and `til this very day the game remains a classic. If you still have a Snes or your a retro gaming fan like myself you should pick this up as soon as possible.

Get this game now!

I enjoyed this game. It had everything that a gamer could want. Good gameplay, good graphics, good levels. Anything that you could think of. I still play my SNES, and this is still one of my all time favorite games. I wasn't disapointed, and I played through it again and again. Always finding something new. this was one of the greatest games I've ever played, and I assure you that you won't be disapointed.

Awesome Game!

Now a blockbuster in making great platformers for Nintendo, Rare's biggest breakthrough was with this game, Donkey Kong Country. In ways, Donkey Kong Country is a lot like Super Mario World. Like Super Mario World, in Donkey Kong Country, the main ways to defeat enemies are by jumping on top of them and throwing things at them. Just like Mario and Luigi love to collect coins, Donkey Kong and Diddy Kong love collecting bananas, since they are monkeys.

King K. Rool, a huge alligator, has stolen all the bananas from the Kongs' Banana Hoard. So it's up to Donkey Kong and his friend Diddy Kong to try and track down King K. Rool and defeat him in order to get their mounds of bananas back. But it won't be so easy because along the way, there are several dangerous enemies that they'll have to look out for such as Kremlings, vultures, beavers, bees with a mean stinger, octopusses, and tons of others.

Fortunately for the Kongs, they do have a few friends on their side. The most famous of them is Cranky Kong, who offers tips, major trash talking, and interesting stories. Cranky Kong is actually the original Donkey Kong who threw barrels at Mario. Funky Kong is a real cool character who offers an easy way to travel between worlds, and Candy Kong is here to save your game. There are also a few animal characters to lend a helping ride such as Rambi the rhinoceros, Winky the frog, Enguarde the swordfish, and others.

The terrains in Donkey Kong Country are a wonder to behold. The main reason Donkey Kong Country was such a standout title when it was first released is because of its way above average graphics. Whether it's the characters, the terrains, or the backgrounds, the graphics all have a 3D-ish look to them, and they're almost too good to be included in a 16-bit game.

Donkey Kong Country also has great sound effects and music. A lot of the music is real catchy and unforgettable, and the sound effects fit the game to a tee. Everything else about Donkey Kong Country isn't bad either. The control is top-notch, the replay value has no limits, and this is a game that is always fun.

The other reason Donkey Kong Country was an instant classic when it was first released is because of its many spectacular environments. There is everything from jungles, underwater environments, polluted areas, tree tops, mine cart rides, and plenty more to be experienced. In each level, all you really have to do is get to the end of them since this is a 2D side scroller, but it's a lot more fun if you try and find as many of the secret areas as you can.

Like many of the other great 2D side scrollers such as Super Metroid, Donkey Kong Country is overflowing with secret areas. There are places in walls to break a hole in, almost invisible hidden barrels, and several other ways to find a secret. Whenever you save your game, it always tells what percentage (there is a total of 101% in the game) of secrets that you've found. THIS is what keeps the replay value so high, on top of the game being fun enough to go all the way through from start to finish, over and over again.

If you ever get tired of playing the game by yourself and want to challenge somebody or play along with them, you'll be glad to hear that Donkey Kong Country is a two player game. In two-player mode, you and a friend can work as a team (one person controls Donkey Kong and the other controls Diddy), or play the adventure game against each other in order to see who can get the farthest while losing the least amount of lives.

Donkey Kong Country is one of the best adventure and platforming video games of all time. If you have a Super Nintendo, I 101% recommend getting Donkey Kong Country. It's a classic!

A must have game!

Play this and remember it was made in 1994 look at the graphics! Donkey Kong Country shocked the world in 1994 with its revoulutionary garphics, but also shocked it with its gameplay sound...just about everything! Even today the graphics are still better than some of new Playstation games. If you like gorillas, or just like video games youll love playing as Donkey and Diddy. Your not a true video game fan if you donrt like Donkey Kong Country. Also play the 2 sequels which are both excellent. Get it immediatley if you dont have it!

Give`s you hours of entertainment

This was one of the first platform-games I`ve ever tried to play,and I must say Donkey kong didn`t let me down..!Still,after many years (and hours)playing this game I still find Donkey Kong Country one of the best platform-games ever!Personally I think the background music in this game very "chanty"!

A COOL GAME!

This was the first game I ever played and I loved it then and now.Thank you Rare.

Donkey Kong teams up with his side-kick Diddy when the Kremlings led by King .K Rool steal the largest collection of Banana's in the world called The Kong Banana Hoard.The moves like Barrel Role and Cartwheel usually get the job done.Diddy is faster and a better jumper than Donkey but Donkey can kill most enemys in a single jump.

Three of the Kong family members can help you.Rocket around Donkey Kong island with Funky's Barrel flight or test Cranky's knowledge at his cabin.And jump into Candy's spinning barrel for a quick save.

Five friendly[and cute]animals will help you on your quest.Expresso the ostritch will make a long leap while Winky the frog leaps high.You can count on Squaucks the parrot and his torch to light up your way and you'll get a charge out of Rambi the Rhino and Engaured the swordfish!

The levels a cool especially Forest Frenzy.The music is cool especially Forest Frenzy.

This game is cool and I recommend it for all.
