  • Summary: Donkey Kong Country is an incredible island adventure and the first game to feature Donkey Kong's sidekick, Diddy Kong. Challenged by the crazed tribe of reptilian Kremlings, the Kongs face their cunning adversaries armed with lightning-quick moves, chest-pounding muscle, and awesome aerial acrobatics. The duo also gets help from a host of friends and family, from Funky Kong, Cranky Kong and Candy Kong, to Rambi the rhino, Expresso the ostrich, Enguarde the swordfish, Squawks the parrot and Winky the frog. This game has over 30 levels plus dozens of hidden caves and secret rooms--more than 100 areas in all. Help the Kongs recover their stolen banana hoard! Expand

    Wow!One of my favourite games of all time.It has an unmatched, unequaled soundtrack even to this day!David Wise is a genious! It oozes nostalgia all over the place.When it was released, it blew everybody away with it's graphics, it pushed the SNES to its limits. Too bad it's too short-it has only 33 levels & it can be completed in under 2 hours:( Expand

  3. Donkey Kong Country brought the WOW factor when it was released in 1994 and made the SNES a worthy console to own. Does this game hold up well today? For nostalgia purposes yes it does. However, I would bump the game down to a 9 rather than a 10 for realizing the game being pretty short with a few levels that were overwhelming with barrels. Overall, Donkey Kong Country is a well crafted game with jaw dropping visuals, a memorable soundtrack and an awesome sidekick named Diddy Kong. It's definitely one of the most memorable games I had ever played on the SNES and a must game to get for the Wii Virtual Console. Expand
