An Innovative and Enthralling Game ExpirienceNov 24, 2005
By Hawke This game adds new innovation to the GBA. Nintendo has pulled off a winner by creating a game revolving around a simple but new concept, using only the L and R buttons. It presents a new challenge to veteran gamers in that you can only do things by swinging from peg to peg on the screen. It also offers a unique game expirience for new comers to the game world. I am sad to see that one mother has ruined the good rating that this game should have only because her son wasn't up to something like this and how can it use "too many buttons". Is using two buttons too hard for your youngster. Maybe he should stick to one button games.

DK KING OF SWINGAug 09, 2008
By Lisa Gatts What can I say Except Donkey Kong is in my family's blood.All 3 of my girls love it.My husband and I compete w/ it,We have every DK Game except for the Nintendo 64 and game cube 1 Oh yeah and the Wii,but we will. The reason I like this one is cuz you only use the top 2 shoulder buttons ,I mean how easy is that?Also it's great training for when you graduate to DK Jungle Climber for the DS. That being said I am so stuck on the 50% level of the DS game.Does anyone have any tips?It's the Boss that pounds her fists down.PLEAZZZZZE Help!!!! My 10 year old daughter and I played donkey kong tonight for 4 hours,Now talk about some Mom and daughter bonding.We played Donkey Kong Country 1 and 3,and had a blast.
Probably more so for the younger "kids" :)Apr 08, 2012
By V. Lamberton Keep my age in mind when you read this review (let's just say that I'm one of the older "kids"). This game seemed like it could be a lot of fun. I just personally prefer the original donkey kong. I'm more into climbing ladders and jumping over barrels than I am into climbing up and up and up....and falling down and down and down. When I played this game, I tended to keep losing DK's grip and falling. So it became a bit monotonous for me to have to keep getting him back up to where he had already been....only to run out of time. Rather frustrating, I must say. Actual kids probably see this as a challenge so it would be a lot more fun for them. Besides that, kids these days are masters of video games. Not so true for my generation. Anyways, enjoy!
awesome gameNov 09, 2010
By spacedog

this was a surprisingly great game. if you've played clu clu land at all you'll have an idea of how novel the control scheme is, but the game does a great job of adding surprises within every single level. there are 25 levels (20 regular + 5 bosses) in all, with medals and "crystal coconuts" to find adding to the replayability. one of the best platformers i've played, period, but be aware you'll have to take the time to master the game's unique mechanics before you fully enjoy it.
