10. Donkey Kong Country

Into the top ten we go and my favourite Rare game starts it off. The concept is fairly simple, King K Rool has stolen Donkey Kong's banana hoard, and DK and Diddy Kong want them back, with the help of some friends along the way. What follows is some of the most frustratingly brilliant 2D platforming goodness ever created. Whether it's timing barrel launches to perfection, or mine cart levels, this game can make you sweat, but it never makes you hate it for it. You always want just one more go to try and complete the level that you've died 20 times on already, and when you do complete it, you breathe a sigh of relief, and then you realise that you might have to do it all over again in the next level...
