Chewblaha Posted December 27, 2010 Report Share Posted December 27, 2010 This game is awesome! Only problem so far is that I don't think you can play as Diddy? That's about the only disappointing thing so far. This game is hard too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mister Jack Posted December 27, 2010 Report Share Posted December 27, 2010 I thought most games were supposed to wait until AFTER World 1 to become difficult. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
diedan Posted December 28, 2010 Report Share Posted December 28, 2010 I can't wait! I'm going to pick this up probably tomorrow or after the New Years. So, sometime soon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pheermee Posted December 28, 2010 Report Share Posted December 28, 2010 This game is a huge disappointment. Probably I was expecting a remake of Donkey Kong Country. And It isn't. Doesnt even have King K Rool in it! If they had called it something else I probably wouldn't have been let down so much. Actually EVERY SINGLE Nintendo title in the past year or 2 has been a let down for me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Battra92 Posted December 29, 2010 Report Share Posted December 29, 2010 Today two middle aged women at work were talking about playing this game. They were saying how hard it was at points. I guess Nintendo is selling more than Wii Fits. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mister Jack Posted December 29, 2010 Report Share Posted December 29, 2010 Any middle aged woman who jumps headfirst into the challenge of Donkey Kong Country Returns is ok in my book. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
diedan Posted December 31, 2010 Report Share Posted December 31, 2010 I picked it up today. It's fantastic! I'm not really getting the whole difficulty thing, though. I cleared through World 1 with like 30 lives left. I haven't been going crazy getting all the hidden stuff, though, and that'll definitely ramp up the trickiness. I'll do that once I finish all the levels. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FMW Posted March 28, 2011 Report Share Posted March 28, 2011 I had a ton of fun with this game. I feel that the difficulty was balanced pretty well. I think world 1 was a wee bit easier than it needed to be, and likewise I feel that world 8 was just a tad too difficult. World 7 however was a truly transcendent platforming experience. I loved that place - the music, the level designs, and the difficulty were just about perfect. How are you all doing with collectibles? I've cleared every level, and collected all KONG letters. I haven't even come close to completing puzzle pieces though, let alone attempt the time trials. Those times are RIDICULOUS, and really make you appreciate that every level was designed with speed running in mind. It's just another layer on top of all the other layers that were already in there.

Cyber Rat Posted March 28, 2011 Report Share Posted March 28, 2011 I played through world 1 with a friend and I have to admit that I was not a fan of the pacing. Constantly stopping to blow stuff or to break the floor ruined the flow for me. And I thought it was very boring based on the 1 hour of playtime. We just played Kirby's Epic Yarn for the rest of the evening and had a blast. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FMW Posted November 14, 2011 Report Share Posted November 14, 2011 I was absently reviewing my video gaming for 2011 the other day, and I realized that I haven't played anything yet that I like more than Donkey Kong Country Returns from 2010. I cannot wait to see what Retro Studios is working on next, they seem to be able to do no wrong. Of course, I haven't played the new Zelda, Mario, or Mario Kart still scheduled to land this year. I'm not saying I won't find anything I like better in 2011, just that I haven't yet. Trine came close though. Trine is a wonderful thing 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

P4: Gritty Reboot Posted November 14, 2011 Report Share Posted November 14, 2011 I played through world 1 with a friend and I have to admit that I was not a fan of the pacing.

We just played Kirby's Epic Yarn for the rest of the evening and had a blast. Ok, I know I'm about 8 months late here, but DKCR is awesome, and you ought to give it another shot. Pacing feels a little screwy as you get the hang of it, especially if you're coming off another platformer. World 1 is a little easy to just beat the levels, not get the secrets, but after that it ramps up to some crazy stuff. Amazing platformer. The -K levels are some of the craziest, toughest stuff I've played in a long time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TCP Posted November 20, 2011 Report Share Posted November 20, 2011 I'm not afraid to admit that I was a little disappointed with the difficulty, the original three games had a gradual increase in difficulty, this one basically assaults you after the first world. I love platformers but I'm just terrible at them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
