Donkey Kong Country VS Sonic and Knuckles

neither , Im not a fan of either.

for me , Sonic & Knuckles was really when things started going downhill for Sonic, and in my opnion , Donkey Kong Country didn't play all that well , and its even that great looking (just some pre renderd sprites and a fairly simple background, I always liked traditional 2D over the pre renderd stuff)

If I had to pick it would have to be Sonic & Knuckles, but thats really choosing between 2 evils.

Sonic & Knuckles. I like Donkey Kong Country, but Sonic's faster and Knuckles can glide and climb stuff..

Also, the add-on feature was cool. I remember playing Sonic 2 with Knuckles.

I didn't really like Sonic and Knuckles. I didn't think it was as good as its predacessors.

so I guess DKC

I love both games. They're both 2 of the best 2D platformers ever made.

Donkey Kong Country. Not really a fan of any Sonic game at ALL, the first 2 games seemed the same to me and the 3rd was all right. But overall I had so much fun playing DKC.

Definitly Sonic and Knuckles. I'm just not a fan of Donkey Kong Country at all.

DKC.

Sonic and Knuckles was imo the worst classic Sonic game (not counting Sonic 3D Blast).

Indeed but I'm not sure if it's really the worst Sonic game out there :P

Sonic and Knuckles mainly because if you added Sonic 3 (Sonic 3 and Knuckles) it was the best Sonic game and arguably the best platformer of that era. I like DKC but not as much as Sonic 3&K.

Sonic 3 + Knuckles > DKC

DKC > Sonic and Knuckles

/thread.

vote for Sonic & Knuckles even if it's not the best sonic of the bunch

Donkey kong country is a mediocre game where its high points are graphics, control is tedious and the rocketlaunch stages are disgusting

[QUOTE="pataponplayer"] Hahaha.. Sonic 3D Blast, you have to admit that was freakin terrible.Darkman2007

I think it's still fun, though. No doubt Sonic the Hedgehog 1-3 and Sonic & Knuckles are better games, and the cream of the crop when it comes to Sonic games. So the disappointment factor when Sonic 3D came out right after them is understandable. But it's still fun, just not as fun as those other Sonic games.

I think sonic and knuckles was the beginning of the end for Sega cause donkey kong country played, looked, and sold better. Pretend its late 1994 again but you have both consoles.Tony-Baxter

DKC is one of the best platformers ever made. The game really pushed a lot of areas to the next level. Great graphics, great control, great music, and a really good difficulty curve. The snow levels are some of the best sidescrolling levels of all time.

Sonic and Knuckles is crap. That series went down hill after Sonic 2, and I love sonic.

It just didn't feel like Sonic to me. Everything from the visuals to the pace of the game. I think part of my problem was that I felt sega tried to push the system to hard--too much stuff going on that affected gameplay imo. I can't stand when this happens, either. I feel the same way in regards to DKC64/Banjo. Sonic 3 just didn't have the flash of the first 2--the music felt hammed, as well.

On its own DKC beats Sonic and Knuckles but against Sonic 3 and Knuckles it destroys it.

I do enjoy your fondness and comments about older games, btw.

[QUOTE="Darkman2007"] Ill agree on the music part, though I have to say I felt the controls in DKC were sloppy, Darkman2007

I suppose I should say you are one of the more regular "legacy" posters.:)

I can't argue with you about the controls, but the graphics? Are you nuts! DKC has some of the absolute smoooooooooooooooothest visuals of any snes game ever released. People were so impressed at the time, when the game was first shown, that they couldn't believe it was running on an snes. They rivaled a lot of psx games as well.

[QUOTE="Darkman2007"][QUOTE="Heirren"] We'll have to agree to disagree. The controls were very responsive to me. A lot of the later levels require minute timing and rhythm--never once did I blame the controls back in the day, or if I did it was myself being biased towards my inability to do something right.

no Im serious , I really disliked the visuals in most pre renderd games, same goes for Vectorman , they look choppy out of place to me compared to normal 2D and normal 3D.

then again , Im the guy who thinks Saturn visuals are just fine when alot seem to disagree (even if most of them know very few games besdies daytona), so there you go.

Sonic the Hedgehog 2 was by far the best Sonic game.

Can't believe people are knocking on these two great games. I'ma have to go with Donkey Kong Country. Loved the graphics and gameplay. But I am a big fan of Sonic and Knuckles.

Both were very good but I think I'll go with Donkey Kong Country,Eikichi-Onizuka

I agree. Donkey Kong Country is simply amazing in my opinion!:)

Sonic and Knuckles all the way. I never really cared for Donkey Kong Country, though it did provide some fun, especially on the mine cart level.
