Forums - Gaming - First Review of DCKR: Tropical Freeze

9.25

From this month's GI isssue.

 

- Seems like generic worlds, ice, beach, jungle but "the variety is amazing"

- Ride mincecarts through saw mills, dash through a forrest with a raging fire, etc.

- Great difficulty balance, bonus stages are a bit ridiculous in difficulty through that is expected.

- Water levels return, are very fun, better to control with the analog stick than d-pad.  

- Dixie and Cranky add new moves that work ebst to reach certain collctibles or specfic pltforming challeneges.  Rotating barrels allow you to slecet the best Kong for the job.

- "Local co-op is as much as a mixed bag as the first installment"

- 6 Worlds instead of 8 in the last game.  But each level is larger.

 

Do bonus levels mean the extra worlds after the main game?  Or does he mean the alternate exits that lead to #-B levels?

Also I don't see the "mixed-bag" -ness of the original, and how it play here.

Don't expect many more reviews for a while cause it seems only printed NDA was been lifted.

Not surprising, it is Retro after all.



Sigs are dumb. And so are you!

Fuck yes !

Already preordered !



I wonder what the metacritic average will be.



The co-op was abysmal in the last game. DKCR is one of my favorite games of all time, but the multiplayer mode was unbalanced and frustrating.

I am glad the game was well received. Hopefully the lack of worlds does not mean it is considerably shorter.

I'm going into this game with high hopes. Never got around to playing DKCR, although I was planning on buying it on the 3DS. Which probably is not the best way to go... anyway! Excited.

I wonder if there will be a MetaCritic improvement over DKCR.



Expected.. easily going to be one of the best titles of 2014. Maybe even the best game for any console until october or so.

Is this for the later levels?

I played up to world 4 with a friend before he went back to college, seemed good to me.

Pre-ordered like, one month ago. DKCR 3D was amazing and I have no doubt DKC:TF will be a really enjoyable experience. I hope it gets the sales it deserves.



What about audiovisual presentation?????????
Thats very important for us Nintendo loyalists
