The latest installment borrows ideas from other 2D platformers, but makes them all its own through unique twists and punishing difficulty.
    It's pure platforming bliss, and will especially impress hardcore gamers. The wii's motion sensing is put to subtle use- mainly for hammering the ground, one of Donkey Kong's many actions. There are eight worlds to explore, each with their own nine or so levels. There's a jungle world, a cave, and more. These may not seem original, but the many original mechanics, objects and bossses you come across certainly are. The settings are brought to life by lush graphics full-of-life scenery, charming music and great sound effects. Enemies are creatively designed and levels are expertly crafted. The difficulty is especially high, and will even challenge hardcore players. Seriously, Country Returns has a brutal difficulty level that will delight fans of the series. Many a time I got a game over, but it's never unfair- every time you die, it's due to your own mistakes rather than dodgy level design.
    One of my favourite elements of Country Returns is the barrel blasting. This mehanic has you time your exit out of a barrel/cannon thing. It propels you quite some distance. It's all about the timing to blast out of the cannons and land safely in the next one. This idea is used a lot in Country Returns.
    The bosses are excellent too, and they take many hits to kill. The bosses are all very challenging, even the very first one, because the more you hit them, the harder they get. Of course, this isn't a new concept to videogames. But Country Returns uses it a huge amount in boss battles, which makes them very hard and satisfying.
    Hidden in each level are various collectibles- four KONG letters and seven to nine puzzle pieces are to be found in each level. They are so difficult to get, even the best of the best will be challenged by these. Often these collectibkes introduce an element of puzzle into the platforming.
    There's also a addition called Rambi- a bit like Yoshi, except he's a rhinoceros. It's fun using him, but he only actually appears in three or four levels, which is slightly strange.
    Other than that, Country Returns is perfect in every way.    … Expand

    To be honest, I thought that Nintendo just forgot about the Donkey Kong Country series, but when Donkey Kong Country Returns came out this is the first DK Country game not to be made with Rare but with Retro Studios. I wish Rare would come back to Nintendo to make good games again like they did before. Score: 4/5.

    I remember the day this game was first announced, a little before around that time I was just already getting into the Donkey Kong Country series and around that time of hearing all about when Rare left Nintendo back in 2002, it made me really sad because It made me think that there almost was no hope for the return of Donkey Kong, especially after also hearing how disappointed fans wereI remember the day this game was first announced, a little before around that time I was just already getting into the Donkey Kong Country series and around that time of hearing all about when Rare left Nintendo back in 2002, it made me really sad because It made me think that there almost was no hope for the return of Donkey Kong, especially after also hearing how disappointed fans were when they played Jungle Beat on the GameCube and how much that game didn't give tribute to DKC; so I lost hope, I thought to myself "Man, they will never make a new game following the old Donkey Kong Country formula again." So when I saw Nintendo post the first trailer for Donkey Kong Country Returns, I freaked out! I got so excited, and when I got it I definitely enjoyed it.

    Pros:
    -Excellent gameplay and controls!
    -Wonderful atmospheres.
    -Nostalgic Music at it's finest.
    -Rambi is a fun to play.
    -Cool bosses.
    -Fun secrets to discover.
    -Cranky's shop is cool with neat items and Cranky being "cranky" as usual.
    -Nice long adventure that never feels boring after a while.

    Cons:
    -Can get very difficult after a while to where a lot of deaths would occur.
    -No underwater levels.
    -I would've liked to have seen more Animal Buddies and Kong members.
    -The Rocket Barrel levels had some frustrating controls.
    -The Tiki enemies felt very lacking in characteristics.

    So I do think that DKCR is a great game, but nothing that I am super enthusiastic about. When I get myself a Wii U, I really hope to get myself Tropical Freeze soon after.    … Expand

    Donkey Kong Country Returns for the Wii was a Donkey Kong Country reboot developed by Retro Studios and published by Nintendo in 2010.

    The Tiki Tak Tribe have hypnotised animals into stealing bananas which Donkey and Diddy Kong must retrieve.

    Donkey Kong Country Returns has kept the old features of Donkey Kong Country and added more.

    Overview

    The game offers 1- and 2- player modes. Player 1 controls Donkey Kong and 2-player mode sees player 2 take control of Diddy Kong.

    There are 8 worlds in the game comprised of a number of stages, each world with a different theme. By the end of world 2, the game becomes challenging and each world ends with a hard boss battle.

    Gameplay

    The game can be controlled with the nunchuck attachment, or classic-style by turning the Wiimote sideways. Donkey and Diddy pound the ground, roll and blow air by the player shaking the controller. Shaking the controller can be awkward, though.

    Collecting Diddy Kong in 1-player mode offers Donkey a jetpack to temporarily hover, which serves to make life easier. Unlike in the original Donkey Kong Country, in this game Donkey and Diddy start with two hearts, one of which is lost when injured. Losing all lives only means the player loses any checkpoint reached, so there may as well not be a life counter.

    Banana coins can be used at Cranky Kong’s Shop to unlock more stages or to buy items. Extra lives, Squawks who can help you find puzzle pieces, an extra heart or banana juice to make you temporarily invincible can all be purchased from Cranky’s Shop. There are more than enough banana coins in the game.

    Like Donkey Kong Country, Donkey Kong Country Returns includes minecart and barrel shooting stages. In addition to these are new rocket barrel stages. The player presses a button to elevate the rocket barrel as it passes through the stage Helicopter Game style. The game also includes animals from Donkey Kong Country like the rhino.

    Aesthetics

    Donkey Kong Country Returns doesn’t push the graphical capabilities of its system like Donkey Kong Country did for the Super Nintendo. Donkey Kong Country Returns is a 2.5D game, rendering 3D sprites in a 2D platformer.

    Some of the music in the game is a familiar throwback to Donkey Kong Country.

    Replayability

    Finding all of the KONG letters and puzzle pieces gives the game replayability. Doing so unlocks extras in the image, music and diorama galleries. The puzzle pieces are hard to find.

    Conclusion

    Fans of platformers must play.

    Really solid platformer - it's crazy how good nintendo is at making great platformers.

    Along with Galaxy 2, this is the perfect example of what a sequel/remake should look like. It completely reinvents the original Country trilogy, but still maintains some elements, like Rambi. New villains are a good alternative to K. Rool, and the game offers quite a challenge, while still being accessible to casual players as well.
    Ost is amazing as well, definitely worth trying at least once!

    Game has frustrating controls, even with emulator. Hitboxes are off, you need to move to roll, mid air control is not good. The game is not fun to play. No underwater levels, few animals (I think only the Rhino is there). Game looks pretty good though.

    I've played the original 3 DCC games previously.

This game is an amazing platformer. Every level is perfectly designed. There isn't a level that I felt was unoriginal or boring they were all incredible. There are four types of levels. You have your standard platforming levels, which all have a certain and original gimmick which make them awesome and memorable. You have your minecart levels which are always fun, and tense fast pace levels where you have to think fast. Then you have your rocket levels which have you continuously press A, or 2 to keep your rocket from falling or hitting rubble. Last you have your boss levels. The bosses are some of the best in the series. DKC isn't known for it's bosses, but this game has some good ones. Overall this game is just a blast from beginning to end. I give DKCR a 9/10 and an A+.… Expand

    The story starts off with a group of masked villains stealing all the bananas in the island and brain washing all the animals other than the Kongs into doing whatever they ask. The quest is to defeat each of these masked villains and restore things they way they were on the island.

The quest is to defeat each of these masked villains and restore things they way they were on the island.

    You get to play as Donkey Kong in one player mode with Diddy Kong as an assist if you crack open the DK barrel. Diddy acts as an assist by using his jet packs to help Donkey Kong hover for a couple more seconds from a jump. This can be useful if you make a timing mistake on your jump. The game can be completed without the aid of Diddy but that would be really hard.

    The most important aspect all of you gamers are wondering is probably whether or not this version does the classic versions of Donkey Kong justice. Although it is not identical, I can assure you that the art style and new play styles are refreshing and fun. You can expect there to be great classic platforming. Blasting from barrel to barrel is in it. Something chasing after you to force you to go faster is in. Rambi is in. Mine carts is in.

    Now, there are a handful of new aspects also. I'll try to name them all. At first glance the graphics are improved obviously. I think it did a great job on that. The enemies are very different. They range from squids and crabs to robots and drums. Personally, I wish that they included some of the old baddies from the original. That would give the game much more nostalgia. I guess they wanted to give things a new look. There are sequences in the game where you ride a rocket barrel either upwards or side ways. The screen keeps going right or up and the game keeps throwing obstacles at you. This was done very well actually. It is one of the most challenging parts of the game. They replaced jumping from rope to rope to jumping from chains to chains. It's different, but not better in my opinion. Bosses in this version are a lot harder and innovative. It was a lot of fun. Retro also did not include any of the animals except Rambi, which kinda sucks, but the gameplay is still amazing. It would just just been interesting if they added more animals.

    Other than going back to collect everything, there isn't too much replay value to this. There is no way to compare time trials or anything unfortunately. Something is unlocked at the end of the game, which I don't want to spoil. You must collect all the orbs in the island to be able to enter into this "something".

    I really hope they will make a sequel, with more classic aspects. Overall this is still an amazing game. Retro did a really great job bringing Donkey Kong back old school style!    … Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Donkey Kong Country Returns, what a blast! Being of the biggest editions to the Wii family, this game exists in order to revive a long-lost legendary series. With a brand new art style and a grand orchestra to boot, this reboot will rock your world! That being said, I wouldn't call it a near-perfect game. As pretty as it looks I can't deny my frustration over some these stupid hard levels. The setting here is an army of evil Tiki demons have taken over the island enslaving the wildlife with musical mind control. They also claim DK's banana hoard and trust me, they have a good reason for it. These new foes aren't copycats mind you. In fact, I like the approach they took with these new villains. Sure there's a lot of creativity within Jungle Beat's villains, but they had more of a focus on hand to hand combat action. In country, it's meant to be more of a focus on hyping up the levels, but there's also a focus on treasure hunting, not just collecting bananas like gold coins. This game takes full advantage of the Wii's graphic level, and man...these levels look like works of fine art. Compared this the classic DK country theme, this feels like more of a jungle rush like the first game. When it comes to regular, side-scroller DK country games, its been a while since DK was a playable character. I'm not talking about 64 or Jungle Beat, I'm talking about how he was kidnapped in the other to Country games. It's a reboot dedicated to showing off DK's original platforming skills and creating a whole new Donkey Kong Island with superb game design. That's why this game is special to me, a reboot with wild new world to explore. Unlike most Mario games, it's like Nintendo has more freedom with some slightly darker themed levels. World 8's lava levels are even more incredible then the one's in New Super Mario Bros Wii! But holy smokes are they difficult. I may not be a platform-gaming ace, but playing through these levels without out extra hit point Banana Juice or the Super Luigi Kong Guide can be painful. But I did it anyway...some levels took at least 30 tries, but I kept going. The control isn't all that great on the Wiimote, but its not terrible...that is, until you get to the controversial Rocket Barrel levels. That soundtrack may be awesome, but the control is pretty lackluster. Holding and releasing the A button like sipping bitter fruit juice is pretty uncomfortable. Underwater levels weren't necessary, but this somehow was? Not to mention that this was a time before you could add extra hit points to make these levels less irritating. If you take a single hit you're dead, and you have to go through an alternate version of these levels anyway even if you skipped all the rest. Its literal hell going through these levels and here I thought that was Satan's job. That's what world 8 reminds me of, with a blend of fine tunes to go with it. As for bosses, there are pretty grand, each one has a Tiki host representing the main instrument type of the boss's theme. In order to reach the final boss, you have to go through another one of those menacing Rocket Barrel levels again, but at least they put a check point right in between. I can't hate this game too much, it's a lovely sight to see, even during a dark game over...the Donkey and Diddy brush it off and get right back into the action. And that's how I went with this game. Sure, I'm not interested in reaching that secret world that looks like the remains of God's breakfast, but I'm still glad I beat all of the main levels without any power-ups. Beat this game is an accomplishment all its own, especially with those insane Mine Cart levels getting even more intense. I don't think think these games are as thrilling as the originals when it comes to Rare Ware's master level game designers. But it's a solid game in another sense, it feels more like a big cartoon action movie, just oozing with character. Most levels have the camera zoom through the scenery before the player can start, in order to build excitement. This new age of DK is just as creative with all sorts of fun bosses, chases, and survival challenges. One of them has killer humming birds! Every level is unique especially with everything that's going on in the background. Its lovely sight to see, perhaps its best to watch these levels on Youtube, because your attention is most likely going to be diverted towards evil birds, moles, and robot chickens created by a chicken scientist?! This game never gets boring. Every level knows how to keep you invested, sometimes it's hard to enjoy them when you're getting chased by something every once in a while. Then again, the game encourages you to take those time trial challenges. But it's hard to admire the scenery when I'm forced to rush through most of these worlds!!! Then again, this game is a rush, a crazy ride where you zip through a dynamic jungle quest! It's a game that just makes me smile, because we'll all remember what it's honoring. It"s a tough, but fair game.… Expand

The game offers a wide range of movement, which goes from simple jumps to long rolls on the ground, a lot of movement uses the motion gaming brought by the wiimote. The work on the artistic direction of Retrostudio is remarkable, the game is part of the most beautiful product on the patetic technical architecture of the wii for the time. The levels are all different from each other, so early we are in a jungle and we are at the beach, in a factory or caves. Levels are packed full of collectibles to collect for bonus images or game information.
    That's why this game made my top 10 best game in the world.    … Expand

Donkey Kong Country Returns is an outstanding platformer and took a lot of elements from the orginal trilogy and made them better (example: Kong Letters). The only problem with Country Returns is it's diffculty. It's way to hard.

    Fans of classic 2D games, or the original DKC games, owe it to themselves to pick up this amazing return to the franchise. The difficulty is the one area that may throw some gamers for a loop, but with the ability to let the game play itself it becomes a non-issue.
