Default Re: Donkey Kong Country Returns

I've been playing this game for a while and I'm currently in the Forest area. I don't really have any complaints with the controls like everyone else does. I use the Wii Remote sideways, because it feels most like the original DKC games. As mentioned, you do have to shake and hold left or right to roll, but it just became kind of natural after a while. I can't remember how rolling worked for this SNES, but I believe while you were running you'd let go of Y and then hold the direction and press Y again to make Donkey Kong roll. I guess that Nintendo could have brought that back, but it's fine how it is.

The music and the levels do bring back memories for me. I know that there are a lot of differences, but this game is great in my opinion. I also like that there's a co-op mode, because not enough games have that these days. All of the levels do have replay value, because you have to go back to get puzzle pieces, and the KONG letters. Also, there's the time attack mode, where you try to beat the levels in a certain time to get either a bronze, silver, or gold medal. So I'm sure that this game will keep me entertained for a while.

I'm kind of biased because DKC is my favorite game of all time, but DKCR is a great homage to the DKC series, and one of the better games to come out on the Wii this year.
