Old Skool BS platformer worth its weight in gold.
The graphics are sublime for a SNES game which brings shame to the Playstation that would be released a year later. Cranky kong is one of the all time best characters with his twisted but hysterical sense of humor especially in the final credits. The music is cute but nothing to scream and shout about.
The final boss fight alone is worth the price of admission, even though the other boss fights are very shallow and linear. Donkey Kong Country can be beaten under 5 hours but depending on your skill level can take up to 7 to 8 hours.
Donkey Kong Country promises so much but falls slightly short with its short story but very challenging gameplay. Fortunately the cast pick up the pieces which makes for a memorable experience.
