I kind of understand why the third of the SNES DKC trilogy gets overlooked; it released after the arrival of the N64 and was overshadowed by the 3D revolution, and as the third series entry the wow factor had diminished somewhat.

Still though, I think it deserves more credit than it gets. It may not have been a game-changer like DKC1 or a masterpiece like DKC2, but it's still an extremely well made platformer. Its levels have immense variety, with almost every stage introducing either a new mechanic or a clever twist on an existing one, and in keeping with its forebears, its controls are tight and its audiovisual presentation is fabulous.

More than almost any other game I can think of, DKC3 is a real victim of its circumstances, largely forgotten because it happened to release in the midst of bigger and more notable events in gaming history, and during a sharp swing away from 2D. Had it arrived even a year earlier, I think it would be remembered much more positively.

Am I alone in this, or does anyone else think it's unfairly overlooked?

It's my favourite one.

Yes, it's my favorite in the franchise.

Well, I love pretty much the entire Donkey Kong Country series (except Returns) but I've played and enjoyed DKC3 a lot more than the previous.

yeah!



God bless You.
