As others have said, towards the later parts of the game the difficulty is raised. It is then that the game truly grows on you. Everyone has their favorite level, and it would not be outlandish for said level to be among their favorites in all 2d platforming history. My personal favorite is Switcheroo in world 7.
What made the game unique?
- How many other platformers have included the depth platforming?
- Assuming you have the integrity, some of the levels are incredibly challenging and fun
- Flet like an old school platformer
Donkey Kong Country had smooth platforming, animal buddies, fantastic music, and truly great challenges. It would be a shame for people to remember the original trilogy as merely eye candy. With this in mind, Retro delivered a fantastic homage to the classics while putting their own twist on it.
Is it perfect? No. There are a few too many rocket levels, a weird filler level in world 7, and the rolling control was not the best(although not as bad aspeople have said). Is it fun? Is it worth every penny? I think so.
And it is the return of DK!!
