A revolutionary adventure, and easily one of the greatest platformers in history.

User Rating: 9.5 | Super Donkey Kong SNES
Nintendo was at a crisis in 1994. they still needed more time for their ultra 64 to be released, and they were losing sales quickly, due to the 32 bit Sega Saturn and Playstation, and the increasing price drops bringing in more buyers for the genesis. Developer Rare decided to take a shot with one of Nintendo's oldest franchises. it was a very financial and risky shot to buy all of the SGI equipment, but they knew it was all or nothing. The end result... A revolutionary SNES game that went on to sell over 8 million units.

Donkey Kong Country is a fantastic platformer. it stars Donkey Kong and his new pall Diddy adventuring the island to retrieve his lost banana hoard from the Kritters, and their leader King K.Rool.

The graphics in Donkey Kong Country are fantastic. most people thought at first glance that this was on a 32 bit system, and not on a 16 bit system. It mixes rendered and pre-rendered 3D graphics, and uses great color and detail. The scrolling backgrounds in this game are also fantastic.

The controls are smooth and are very simple.it makes it a great game for beginners and experienced gamers alike.

The music in this game is also astounding. it has one of the most popular soundtracks in video game history, and is personally one of my favorites. the music matches the locations excellently, mostly sporting a jungle groove style,

This game uses a map, and has over 100 levels(including bonus levels, bosses etc.) it is a decently long game, but even after you beat it, you will most likely go back and play through it again. it has great replay value.
