Game Informer's Donkey Kong Tropical Freeze review
Donkey Kong Country TF - 9.25
Bravely Default - 8
Dr. Luigi - 8
DKC:TF
- Seems like generic worlds, ice, beach, jungle but "the variety is amazing"
- Ride minecarts through saw mills, dash through a forest with a raging fire, etc.
- Great difficulty balance, bonus stages are a bit ridiculous in difficulty though that is expected.
- Water levels return, are very fun, better to control with analog stick than d-pad. For some reason you have to access the menu to pick one or the other.
- Dixie and Cranky add new moves that work best to reach certain collectibles or specific platforming challenges. Rotating barrels allow you to select the best Kong for the job.
- "Local Co-op is as much a mixed bag as the first installment."
- 6 worlds instead of 8 in the last game. But each level is larger. Reviewer says it rather have a smaller collection of the best levels Retro can make than a more bloated game with less quality levels and that is exactly what this game does.

Where do you think Donkey Kong's Metacritc score will fall at?
