| blackops said: this is BS. Are you serious! Did UC2 steal all its enemies, storytelling, guns and all the action-packed playable scenes from DKC too? O and I remember Chloe and Elena from DKC also (sarcasm) |
No. Though you hit the nail on the head with the action packed scenes. For it's time, DKC was known for it's visceral, non stop action/platform sequences. I think UC2 does this incredibly well too. There are also the platforming elements that share many similarities. Collecting treasures/bananas, jumping, climbing, barrels, side kicks, the level design is quite similar as well. Jungles, caves, ice levels, etc. Now this holds true for most platform games, but I think the similarities in how UC2 creates these grab-you-by-the-ball action action sequences is very similar to that of DKC games (not dk64). The graphic style (coloring, shading, background design) are also heavily borrowed and adapted to a 3d environment. The music at times even calls for some deja vu. It's moe than just the sum of its parts. Play some UC2 and DKC back to back and you'll be surprised how similar the experiences are.
