User Rating: 7.5 | DK: Jungle Climber DS
By Nintendoguy325 | Review Date:
DK: Jungle Climber is Donkey Kong's first game on the DS. For the most part, it's a solid game. The graphics are good, looking like the DKC games. It has a good tutorial, and steadily gets tougher as you progress through the game. The music is classic Donkey Kong, and it can keep you company as go through the creepy forest and volcano when Diddy doesn't. Minigames are fun, and there is plenty to collect and keep you busy. It offers a new way to play, using the trigger buttons to grab and climb up spheres that somehow float in midair.
On the down side, it would have been better if it was another DKC game. At some points, it becomes really hard all of a sudden. You will want to go really fast, but then, suddenly, there is nothing left to climb on to, and you fly off a cliff and die. A trademark of Nintendo games disappears in this game: YOU CAN'T JUMP ON ENEMIES! You have to do a kind of launching attack, doing a cannonball into the air.
Not wanting to give away the odd story, I will just go ahead and say that this is a good game if you have been waiting for a fun DK game that DOESN'T have BONGOS, this is a game for you.
