Game Review

I forgot to put a game review on my last post. So here goes!





Name: Donkey Kong Jungle Beats

Platform: GameCube





I don't normally do game reviews. That's usually my bro Andrew's job. A game review for me is means I talk about how much I like it and stuff. So... let me start!


I like this game alot. My aunt has a GameCube and my mom and her love Donkey Kong. They used to play DK Country back in the days of the SNES. So, they decided to try DK Jungle Beats. I was the first one to actually try it. Which is a good thing because I was able to teach my Aunt some things about the controls. They don't have Bongos for it so I had to figure it out with the game controller. The instructions don't have clear instructions on using the game controller. They really want you to buy the bongos! I finally was able to figure it out in a couple levels. It's ALOT of fun. Enough fun to buy me a GameCube and the bongos and the game.



This game is nice because it lets you get a feel of the controls with the "Opening Ceremony" level. You get to run around and clap and all that without losing energy. Like I said before, they want you to really buy the bongos. I'm a hands on person so I didn't really read the booklet to see if they did put in instructions for the game controllers. When I was first playing it I couldn't get him to run. He was just walking everywhere. It was very slow going. And then I figured it all out. I was able to get him to run! I really like the cinematics in this game too. It's fun when you get to whale on an enemy. PUNCH PUNCH JAB! At the end of the levels you get to grab extra "beats" (bananas). That's a lot of fun too!



The bosses were more challenging when you start getting to higher levels. Which is standard in most games. The fights were alot of fun. I liked the big bird one where you had to headbutt this black ball. I got pretty fast at it. I almost died on the last boss I fought. So, I'm pretty sure that it's only going to get tougher! I only was able to unlock the Apple level. I've not played that one yet. I hope to get out to my Aunt's house and play some more. This game is diffently fun and challenging at the same time. I like that! Even though I'll probably get frustrated at it and stop playing it for awhile. LOL! But that's all in the biz.



Overall Rating - A- for now... maybe higher if I get the bongos. It's just not too easy with the game controller.


So there you have it! I hope Andrew approves of my review. It's kinna Jr. Highish but like I said. I don't do game reviews. I just had to comment on this game. It was a lot of fun!
