The editors liked

  • It's like someone traveled back in time to 1996 and brought back a new Super NES platformer that we all forgot about.
  • Inspired level design
  • Fun and creative challenges
  • Cleverly hidden secrets and surprises add replay value
  • Varied gameplay
  • Spoton controls.
  • Fantastic level design
  • Hidden collectibles give a substantial reason to replay levels
  • Vehicle sequences are loads of fun
  • Strong artistic design
  • Catchy soundtrack.
  • Brilliant reboot
  • That welcomes back a classic masterpiece.

The editors didn't like

  • It gets way too hard when Diddy Kong's not with you (and this presents an effective handicap when you fire up multiplayer).
  • Poorly thought out controls cause needless accidents and deaths
  • Frustrating "vehicle" stages will make you feel the burning fury of a thousand suns
  • At times inhumanly difficult
  • Occasionally clumsy controls.
  • CoOp play seems like an afterthought.

  • Great Platforming experience. Multiplayer is brilliant
  • Motion control is a distraction rather than an enhancement. May be too hard for some.

  • Donkey Kong Country Returns charms and frustrates in equal measure - and that's exactly what a good arcade game should do. Overflowing with invention, it shows there's still plenty of life in platform games - even 15-year-old ones. Need an exuse? Buy it f...

  • Dripping in nostalgia
  • Really difficult in sections
  • We're not going to claim that this is the best or most innovative game of the year, or even the most exciting Wii title of 2010, but it's definitely one of the year's most challenging, and one of the year's most fun...

  • It’s a side of Nintendo we fear, from time to time, losing forever, which makes Retro’s outing a welcome return to the company’s hardcore roots, as well as one of this year’s finest platformers. 8.5/10Print this pageComments (2)Share this pageNoticed s...

  • Unglaublich, wie spielend leicht es die Retro Studios schaffen, einen adäquaten Nachfolger zu einer der besten Jump & Run Reihen zu entwickeln. Hier passt einfach alles und so reiht sich der neuste Teil nahtlos in die Reihe ein, ohne der Rare-Trilogie ...
