Donkey Kong 64

This game has no purpose. The only original playable characters are D.K and Diddy. Where's Dixie!!? Dixie is far better than Tiny Kong, there's no originality to any of the new Kong's names either. The music is too cutesy, come on this is supposed to be the comeback of Donkey Kong! Donkey Kong had far more, what can I say, more original music.

Bottom Line... WHY!

Ook Ook! Aah aah ahh! Ook eek aaahhh eek ooh. Eek eek ook ook ahh ahh ahh ook eek. Eek aah ook ooh eek ooh eek ahh? Eeep eek ook aah aah ook. Eek ook ahh (feces throw). Ook ook Donkey Kong! Eek eek! (Translation: Hey everybody reading my review! IL' stiffdogg is here with a review on Donkey Kong! This monkey melee of an adventure game for the Nintendo 64 is DK's first frolic in 3D, and I hope he has many more. It seems King K. Rool, the demented doofus and king of the Kremlings has returned to blast the DK Islands, and DK, Diddy Kong, Tiny Kong (related to Dixie Kong), Lanky Kong (Unknown Relation), and Chunky Kong (related to Kiddie Kong) are the only monkeys who can foil the foul fiend. DK familiars will recognize Cranky, Funky (what the heck is a Donkey-Dude?) and Candy, but does anyone recall Wrinkly Kong (died in Donkey Kong Country 3)? Anyway, this game is definitely worth playing, with its hilarious moves (check out Lanky's Baboon Balloon!), a multi-player battle royale, and a strange finale you won't stop laughing at. DK has never looked better. Viva la Donkey Kong! Try this game at least!)

What is with those game critics, this game rox!!! And no, it is not a B-K copy-off. Why?

1. Banjo-Kazooie had no mini-games. 2. B-K does not have 2-D Platformer elements incorporated into it. 3. DK64 frustrates the @#*! out of you at times. 4. Hard to believe but DK64 is even funnier than B-K! A cinematic triumph, Dolby Surround Sound included!

Rare has made a terrific game, despite the deeply disturbing DK Rap. If gamers of the SNES era want a 3-D Platformer suited to their needs, they must look no further than DONKEY KONG 64!!!!!!!

Rating: 10.0 / 10.0

What can I say? Rare does it again! Every time you plug in a Rare Game you know you're in for a real treat! The detail they manage to put into a game...it's simply awesome! I kind of suspected to meet the original Donkey Kong (1981) somewhere in the game, and when i did it was so unreal. Suddently your television is transformed into an arcade machine from 1981...and of course you have to beat the game. So huge hugs from me to all from Rare...though i have to admit that i sometimes want to do some kicking as well...those bonus-rounds can be very frustrating....

Donkey Kong 64 was the first ever game to be released for the Nintendo 64. This game was made in 1999, Donkey Kong has starred in several Donkey Kong games in the earlier years, in the 1980's he was in his won game donkey kong 1,2,3 and then in the 1990's he was in Donkey Kong Country with Diddy Kong. I give this game 10 out of 10.
