Rating: 10

Time with product: 3 Months

Strengths: Great port of DKC from the SNES, challenging gameplay, great music

Weaknesses: Very difficult, sounds effects are a bit quiet, graphics are passable

Summary: Donkey Kong Country for the GBA is a port of the SNES version back in the middle 90's. DKC has Donkey Kong and other members of the Kong family trying to get back their bananas. All of the incredible platform design has been retained, as challenging and difficult as ever. Some mini-games have been added as well. The graphics have been turned down a bit for cleaner gameplay. The sound effects also seem a bit quiet, as does the music, though the music sounds great. Fans of the original should get this game, as well as anyone who wants a modern interpretation of a great classic game.
