An annoying game that is better if forgotten
User Rating: 5.5 | DK: Jungle Climber DS
I bought this game and I thought "wow finally a Donkey Kong game on the DS". Then I played it and I wish I never bought the game at all. It get ridiculously hard to quick and the whole shoulder pad control scheme absolutely sucks. I would much rather play the original Donkey Kong Country with poor graphics and no color. At the beginning it is fun with all simple levels but it gets totally unforgiving later on. Once you grab hold to a round object on the wall you will rotate continuously and it is difficult to make precise jump so you'll end up falling or hitting a monster by accident. It's difficult to get through a level with out getting hit once. I understand that in DK country or in Mario games with one hit (without a power-up or sidekick) you will die but for this game there should of been a life bar. It's frustrating that you work so hard to get to a point then you accidentally get hit and then have to start all over again. I personally stop playing after the 5 world because the difficult was unbelievable. It wasn't even Contra hard but beyond it. I suggest to anyone who is thinking of getting this game should think twice before wasting your money on this.
