    A sequel to the the GBA title "DK:King of Swing" is not exactly what the DS needed. Is it fun at least? Well if you consider awkward controls with a silly-bland story than be my guest. The story is that DK and his friends find an alien banana hybrid who says that his crystal coconut was stolen by King K. Rool. So as any of you would expect, DK decides to find it and get it back.

    This game has weird controls, you use the D-Pad to move, press R and L together to jump and also use R and L to climb. It already sounds difficult. And it is very difficult. Boss Battles are a prime example of this. It's like trying to shoot a moving target with an arrow blind. I barely got past the first boss. And not to mention there are collectables like DK coins you collect in every level. So good luck to you completionist!

    This is probably one of DK's more pitiful games, I must give credit though for putting bonus content and multiplayer, but it doesn't make up for it's amount of difficulty with the controls, as well as the controls themselves.    … Expand

    The development team stuck to its guns with the original concept and fleshed it out with new levels, new elements, and more stuff to beef up the variety and to toughen things up.

    We don't like the story, save for the talking banana aliens (fo fanana), and the whole peg grabbing stuff doesn't light our fire, but Jungle Climber is a cute, simplistic adventure game that anyone can get into, and the addition of four person multiplayer adds to its banana eating appeal.

    The unique control scheme makes for an interesting change and a lot of fun, while the extra challenge modes provide incentive for much replay.
