Unnecessary because after playing DKCR I wasn't nostalgic anymore and TF still relied too much on nostalgia for me to be entertained.

So you're only interested in nostalgia over simply playing a great game. Meh, to each their own I guess!

Those dislikes though :p

6/10 isn't a horrible score though..

There is a word for people like you.
What is it again?
Oh yeah, I know.
Late.



Yeah I watched this and IGN's review just before I bought it back in March 14 or something. After seeing those two reviews I only ever use IGN now. Gamespot lost me on this review.

After 100% DKTF with wife I can says it's atleast an 8-9 for me.



WOW, the best Donkey Kong ever done is "boring" ... amazing.

BTW didnt they apoligized for that in some way later? I think I might have read something about that.

I wanna see what the fuzz is all about.

You won't be disappointed! As long as you enjoy challenging platformers anyway :)

Overstatement at its finest.



People are using thier opinions of the game as a reason why the review was bad. Poor arguments. But here's a concrete one:

They had the gall to call the levels in this boring/repetitive when Returns literally had an entire island that was ONLY minecart levels

It is the best one tied with DKC 2

It's Gamespot. They've had an anti-Nintendo bias for YEARS. (And I don't throw that term around lightly.)

Ohh that's why almost every Nintendo-published game on Gamespot gets a 9 or 10, with very few dipping below an 8. This in their own words mean they think most Nintendo games are "great" -  because they clearly hate Nintendo. Of course.
