Amazingly fun for all agesMay 15, 2005
By Lisa Shea

I admit that the bongos seem like a silly gimmick when you first look at them. But when you start playing with them, these are REALLY good rhythm and drum trainers!
The game comes with a good selection of songs to play along with - from Allstar to La Bamba, from the Nutcracker Suite to Shiny Happy People. There should be songs in here to suit all musical tastes. There are a bunch of different ways to play the songs. There are freestyles where you just drum and clap along any way you wish. There are a series of built in rhythms where you have to match up as well as you can with the song. There are two player modes where one person drums and the other person claps. There are a number of challenge modes where people play head to head or try to get better scores on the same song.
There are even rhythm trainers where you learn about different rhythms and learn how to hold them over a number of bars. It really is quite amazing how much the game teaches you about syncopation and unusual rhythms. If you feel you're rhythmically challenged, this game can get you to learn how rhythms work. If you think you're a pretty good drummer, give a try on some of the more challenging songs and see if you can keep up!
The game is great for solo play and even more fun in party situations, especially because the songs are so much fun. As you earn coins, you can use them to buy more difficult song versions, new sounds for your bongos and even new bongo visuals. You get a lot of incentive to keep getting better and better.
Where many games teach you skills that might seem meaningless (arcane combinations of button mashing), this game is actually teaching you a real life skill that is great. You could become a better real life drummer, or at least be able to hold your own better at any dances you might go to.
What's even better, this game is great for all ages. Young kids can have fun randomly hammering - while adults can do serious work in perfecting their skills.
Highly recommended!

This is an AWSOME game!!Nov 09, 2005
This game is great!!!!!
I recomend this game to any parent who is buying a gamecube for their kids this holiday season. The game comes with a set of bongos. On the bongos there is of coarse a right and left bongo and suprisingly also a clap sensor. This game is also excellent in teaching your kids how to play the bongos in a way. This game is REALLY fun. I recomend it for children over the age of 6 or 7.

LOADS OF FUNDec 28, 2005
By L. Suban

My son bought this for our daughter and at first I thought, "GREAT, MORE STUFF TO CLEAN UP." But we haven't stopped playing it since! We laugh so hard at our first (or second, or third...) attempt at the hard songs, but it's all worthwhile when you finally get to "clear" a song. It totally ROCKS!

Donkey Konga 2 Rocks!Dec 27, 2005
I love this great toy! I love it even though I barley recognize any of the sogs. I love this great game and you might think that the price is a little steep, I think it could be lowered, but it is great! You got to get this game for your kid, I got it for Christmas and I love it!

Very nice for old wii only.Jan 05, 2012
By wevans I love Donkey Konga! The Bongo drums make it so interactive and unique. But I learned that the new black wii IS NOT backwards compatible and WILL NOT play GameCube games. I cannot play this game on my black wii.
