    DK and Diddy return, this time for the Game Boy Advance! Sadly, you can't make Candy kiss their ass anymore. Read more

    • DK Attack mode really ups the replay value., Bonus "Hero Mode" is nice for DKC veterans wanting a challenge., Getting 101% is tougher with the addition of the scrapbook., Funky's Fishing is disturbingly addictive.
    • You'll be sorely disappointed if you're expecting a handheld SNES version., Increased difficulty on bosses aside, if you're a regular 2-D platform player, you'll whip through the regular difficulty quickly., Who's bright i...

    Donkey Kong Country is the latest in what seems to be an endless wave of Super Nintendo ports for the GameBoy Advance. In case you haven’t played the original Donkey Kong Country, it is a platform game where you travel to... Read more

    DKC’s levels are a mixed batch of various environments (water, mines, blinking lights, etc.) filled with big wasps, snakes, and an army of other baddies. Most of the levels can be broken down into sectional puzzles. Read more

    The gilt is beginning to flake. Read more

    • Personality; simple, fun platformer action.
    • Graphics style fares poorly on GBA; too formulaic.

    This game is great it's not that challenging but it's one of those games that you play and you might get 2% done each time and then you get stuck at one level and keep playing it. Read more

    • Great Game-Play, Challenging
    • Nothing it think so

  2. Donkey Kong Country (GBA): The music is still the same too.

    And to think, this is the same developer that would make Starfox Adventures. Read more

    • Brilliant platforming action.
    • Washed out visuals on a backlit screen.
