    0/10 I played this game for 50 hours and yet girls still won’t f*** me. I’ve been a virgin for so damn long and yet when I heard this game would let me have sex with as many women as I wanted I was ecstatic. Then this game like the Donkey s*** that it is didn’t help me improve my sex life at all.

    I was initially afraid to touch the game because of....the curse...but now that I have. I can say that AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA. This game is terrible. Easily, the worst game featuring Diddy Kong. First off, all of the tracks might as well be the same. No one cares what track that you're on. No one's gonna be like, "I REALLY LIKE THE DESIGN OF THIS ONE. I LIKE THE EVER SOI was initially afraid to touch the game because of....the curse...but now that I have. I can say that AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA. This game is terrible. Easily, the worst game featuring Diddy Kong. First off, all of the tracks might as well be the same. No one cares what track that you're on. No one's gonna be like, "I REALLY LIKE THE DESIGN OF THIS ONE. I LIKE THE EVER SO SLIGHTLY DIFFERENT PLACEMENT OF THE BARRELS IN MT. DYNAMITE REMIX RATHER THAN JUST MT. DYNAMITE.". And, it's painfully obvious that this game was made to be played with the bongos. Which is why this game is not compatible with the bongos. Which, I'm sorry. That's just dumb.… Expand

    Despite all of its problems, you’ll almost certainly have a great deal of fun playing Donkey Kong Taru Jet Race. [JPN Import; Sept 2007, p.118]

    A game so bad, it brings shame upon Donkey Kong and his entire family. [JPN Import; Oct 2007, p.60]

    To Barrel Blast's credit, it looks like there was a concerted effort to make the game look better--a smooth frame rate and some nice effects spruce up an otherwise mundane racer. [Nov 2007, p.99]
