An underrated game. Extremely fun and entertaining.

User Rating: 8.5 | Donkey Kong: Barrel Blast WII
By BizarroPat | Review Date:
Donkey Kong: Barrel Blast for the Nintendo Wii is an underrated fun racing game. Sure it can be compared to Mario Kart games but what seperates it are the controls. This game was originally going to be controlled by the Bongos that were used in the Gamecube DK games. Though with the creation of the Wii, the bongos were replaced my the Wii Remote and Nunchuck. You drum with the remote in your right hand to move right and the nunchuck in your left to turn left. It's a very addicting racing game.

One of the great things about this game is that it really makes you feel like you're part of the game because as a character drums on their barrels to move, you do the same with your remote. It really takes advantage of the Wii motion detecting capabilities.

When you start a race, you must drum with both the remote and the nunchuck to accelerate but rest assured you do not have to do this the whole race, after a few seconds of drumming you will reach max speed, which allows you to not have to drum and only turn and jump.

Overall it's a very good and underappreciated game.

NOTE: To beginners, before you start playing the game go to Kranky Kong's school. It teaches you how to play the game.

I give Donkey Kong: Barrel Blast an 8.5 out of 10
