    This DLC feels more like a puzzle game then a strategy game, with only three characters it feels the devolpers designed every level like a fixed puzzle solution rather then choose your own line up and win with your own strategy. The overworld is charming but is cluttered with same old puzzles from the original game "move blocks and push switches for the eight millionth time" it got oldThis DLC feels more like a puzzle game then a strategy game, with only three characters it feels the devolpers designed every level like a fixed puzzle solution rather then choose your own line up and win with your own strategy. The overworld is charming but is cluttered with same old puzzles from the original game "move blocks and push switches for the eight millionth time" it got old really fast in the original game and they are back full force here. Other then that it's a well done dlc with even better visuals then the original with some awsome and hilarious cutscenes with great new ideas, however it's over faster then you know it and doesn't even come close to a challenge if you beat expert levels in the original game. Hate to say it but I think I it would have been better to save the time and resources and start working on proper sequel right away instead of this. Expand

    It's an interesting add for the main game, but it not motivate to plays like the story in the Mushroom kingdom. The places are beautiful and DK techniques are a very cool add. The context is interesting, but it's too short(5-7 hours of gameplay). For the price that costs, is cool to have and try this DLC.

    A new adventure in an old coat is a great addition to the original game. It will entertain and won´t let go for several evenings. Its only downside is the separation from the game itself. [Issue#288]

    Donkey Kong Adventure is a very welcome expansion to the Mario + Rabbids universe and even if it is not the most ambitious expansion of all time, what it adds to the main game in terms of three marvelous characters and the variety of enemies and goals that come along with them is more than enough to make any fans of the original game fully satisfied with this additional element.
