An excellent entry into a venerable franchise.

User Rating: 9 | Donkey Kong Country: Tropical Freeze WIIU

A title worth every bit of its pedigree. DKCTF is not your average platformer and requires patience and skill to succeed. The game doesn't hold your hand and can be unforgiving which makes the game all the more rewarding when you clear a difficult stage or boss. Donkey Kong has a 'weight' to him which requires precise jumps, and forward thinking instead of 'twitchy' reactionary jumping that is found in platformers like Mario which are traditionally more floaty. The visuals, art direction and music are all top notch making this a game worth adding to any WiiU owner's library.
