I'll give you that DK Country has good graphics and music is great, although I don't like the art style. The bonus levels can't compare to Sonic's and the level designs are flat and gimmicky. You know what takes less skill than doing a loop in Sonic? Geting auto-blasted from barrel to barrel in DK country. In my opinion DK Country's gameplay is tedious. I'm not some Sonic fanboy who reads the comics and watches the cartoons. I don't care about the "stories". I think Sonic is best when he doesn't talk and the plot is simply to defeat Dr. Robotnik. And yes I refuse to call him Eggman. I'm just a guy who enjoys having fun. I have fun with Sonic, but I can't say the same about DK Country. Everyone thinks Sonic is about speed. That's not what Sonic has ever been solely about. Speed only enhances Sonic's solid pure platforming foundation. It's fun because it's exhilarating to race though expertly crafted levels trying to react fast enough to jump on enemies and avoid obstacles/traps. But it's also fun to seek out all the hidden stuff within the levels and collect enough coins to gain access to bonus stages and bonus lives. That requires explorations and slowing down a little to make difficult jumps. People also complain about all of Sonic's lame friends. Well DK Country has birthed some pretty lame characters. I'd say Dixie Kong is just as lame if not more lame than Amy from the Sonic series and Amy never got her own game. Of course I'm comparing the 16-bit games here. Comparing the latest Sonic and DK Country games would be a little different, I liked Returns a lot more than the previous games and I enjoyed Generations more than the last several Sonic games. But it's the classics that are what most people identify with. Like I said I love Donkey Kong, the originals. I mean I collect DK stuff for heaven's sake and own a classic DK arcade machine. If anyone should love DK Country it's me, but try as I have I can't get into them. DK Country is in my opinion is overrated. |
If you care that much... :p
Anyway SA2 is incredibly overrated. Strip away the memories of how flashy it was back at the birth of the 7th gen, and its pretty hit and miss.
Colours is the only truly good 3D Sonic game.
