Thread 11998159

Pros
>great variety of levels
>lots of creative and fun gimmicks
>banging soundtrack
>lot of attention to detail in the levels and backgrounds
>challenging but not excessively so to the point of frustration
>movement just feels great, very fluid and responsive
>simple controls but where each move has its own use and niche and levels are designed around it (except the ground pound, holy shit is that worthless)
>actually somehow manages to make water levels fun

Cons
>a few issues where hitboxes were a bit misleading
>save system is a bit rough (especially ice world where you have to do a gauntlet of like six of the hardest levels in a row with no save point, and a game over means do the whole thing over)
>bosses are laughably easy and just larger versions of basic enemies (and a... fucking barrel..?)
>camera is a bit zoomed in and can occasionally take a few seconds to catch up with the action

Overall, it's a strong 8/10. Not quite classic masterpiece status like Crash Bandicoot, but a very solid first entry.

What is with ever Donkey Kong Country thread mentioning Crash Bandicoot lately? Is it just one really sad autist?

There is a ton of commonalities between them, it wouldn't be a stretch to say Crash Bandicoot is a spiritual successor to DKC.

>>11998170
Nah, it really is just one nutjob.

Guess /v/ is banning him on site now so he is trying to move here.

Literally none of those are me. This is just the first (and really only relevant) image result on google for "Donkey Kong Country" because it's the image attached to the wikipedia article

Are you actually this fucking stupid or something?

It gets you bananas. How is that worthless?

>just pound every square inch of the game to rarely find a tiny fraction of a 1up
I could just spend a few minutes on the first stage and earn a dozen lives, why bother?

Everyone that isn't retarded knowns that Crash Bandicoot is basically DKC but in 3D, it reuses many of the same design principles and even shares similar themes.
it's like Prince of Persia -> Tomb Raider.
This tendency to think "everyone that doesn't think like me is just one person!" is embarassing.

You could replace DKC with almost any platformers and the statement would still work. Having this many threads and posts out of the blue with this same weird comparison is what's really retarded. We get it, you have fond memories of playing Crash.

You really couldn't. There's not any game closer for each one than the other respective series.
