    I'm going to say it: it's a bit better than 2. If you are looking for a good challenge, with a lot of secrets, this is for you.

    Fun game, the controls feel responsive, and the levels are fun. Secrets can be a bit cryptic at times though, and the bosses kinda suck. I like the gba sountrack tho

  1. Fun though DKC is, it is - as many have said in the past - rather on the short side. Stumbling through the game with a fairly good idea of where everything was, it took us about four hours to get to the final boss and dispatch him, picking up some 70 per cent of the game's secrets along the way.
  2. A game of this overall technical sheen that can really make you smile and take notice, doesn't come along every day... in fact it comes along every nine years. If you've not sampled it before, now is the time.

    There's a certain intensity of action and sense of urgency that only a 2D platformer can deliver. This game is a great way to rediscover that feeling for yourself. [June 2003, p.118]
