Is Donkey Kong Jungle Beat really that good? Hmmm... I guess I could try it out. It got pretty good reviews. Not as good as Donkey Kong 64's, but still got reviews around 80% (anything less than 80%, I consider mediocre, or bad). Apparently, it doesn't have Rare's touch, and it's a 2D game, when it should have been a 3D game. Donkey Kong 64 was pretty imaginative, and it wasn't all about the items. There were many mini games, and other things, too. I thought it was fun. Also, Donkey Kong Jungle Beat isn't really a true sequal to Donkey Kong 64.

Yeah, it's a good game. Donkey Kong doesn't suck, it went in a different direction, and the Starfox games are getting batter(but it needs to become an in house game again)

 I think it is the developers fault. First, Sonic needs to just stay 2D. Those games are still good.

The one I'm mad about is Final fantasy. Basiclly, Square is whoring out the franchise. Maybe becuase they spend soo long on the game and sales aren't as good as they use to be. Really, how many games do we need for 7. Not only that, but there will be about 7 games for FF13.
