    Donkey Konga is fun. It is a surreal kind of fun that you can't have in an arcade...This is the solidest, sturdiest, most accessible rhythm-game-that-requires-a-special-controller to yet be released. [JPN Import]

    Simple, fun, and addicting with just the right amount of challenge and cool... just the way video games are supposed to be.

    It's far too easy for veterans in singleplayer, but with four sets of the ludicrous peripheral - an unlikely scenario, admittedly - and each player tapping out their own, interlinking rhythm the game becomes a uniquely entertaining experience. [Feb 2004, p.111]

    As a pro drummer I must say this game is challenging! It is a great tool to teach someone some basics of bongo drumming or drumming in general. My kids love it and my nephew who wants to be a drummer loves it as we bought one for him for his birthday!! Nintendo out did themselves with this one!!… Expand
