    Its graphics look a little dated, but it changes up environments often and stashes tons of secrets - a good romp for platforming fans. [Jan 2005, p.137]

    Not a bad package, really, just not a great one. It's never going to trouble the likes of "Super Mario World" or "Yoshi's Island" in the sheer artistry and quality of gameplay stakes, at least not in this reviewer's book.

    Squeezed down to small screen size, it loses a lot of what made the Super NES game a classic.

    Playing DKC 2 is the equivalent of going to a restaurant and only ordering the appetizer. Sure, it's something to eat but you're missing out on the filet Minot by chewing on cheese-covered tacos.

Call it gorilla Kong is you must, but don't lie to us like this. Jesus himself rode in on a donkey, so don't tell me they aren't worthy of their own game, I was promised a game about a donkey, living in his own country.

    Se le va tanto, pero tanto la castaña con la dificultad, que al final es difícilmente disfrutable.
