Donkey Kong Country: Tropical Freeze review
Seeing everything there is to see in Donkey Kong Country: Tropical Freeze is a privilege, not a right. While some platformers present their content to you on a silver platter, daintily spoon-feeding each level into your eager mouth, Tropical Freeze tells you to go out into the snow barefoot, run...- Great presentation
- with lush graphics and charming music
- Incredibly challenging
- but never feels unbeatable
- New Kongs encourage different playstyles
- Will simply be too difficult for some tastes
- Co-op play is a disappointment
Donkey Kong Country: Tropical Freeze
One could argue it's the machine that's started the giant's trend in recycling more and more of their older series instead of diversifying with new game experiences. So, no real surprise that Donkey Kong returns, and although there's been four years since the ape reappeared on Wii, it doesn't feel...
Review: Donkey Kong Country Tropical Freeze is a Retro game in every sense
Conventional mechanics presented with contemporary flash: Tropical Freeze expertly blends spectacle, set-pieces and classic platforming.- Might be Wii U's best-looking game
- Wonderful David Wise soundtrack
- Challenging in all the right ways..
- ...but occasionally the wrong ones
- Still quite conservative in its design
Donkey Kong Country: Tropical Freeze
The argument about whether Retro Studios should or shouldn't be spending its energy on another Donkey Kong Country game rages, but at this point it's moot. The studio finished a while ago and is surely now working on something other than this series, but while they do, let's talk Donkey Kong...
Donkey Kong Country: Tropical Freeze (Wii U) Review – DK is Back! Prepare for Some Ape Induced Platform Madness
It hit me last night. As I was playing a bit more Donkey Kong Country: Tropical Freeze before penning my review I realized just how maddening this game can be. I lifted my GamePad up in the air after yet another untimely death and I almost threw it across the room.
Donkey Kong Country: Tropical Freeze
You might be tempted to overlook Donkey Kong Country: Tropical Freeze, but if you did, you'd be missing out on an excellent platforming title with tons of style and polish. While it's true that it doesn't explore a lot of new territory, iteration within a genre is only bad to the extent which...
Donkey Kong Country: Tropical Freeze Review
is a great platformer full of tense sequences and tough levels. Boss battles are a huge highlight, and it's packed with hard-to-find secrets and collectibles. Multiplayer could use some improvement, but I found myself laughing whenever my teammate and I wiped out on some of these unforgiving setups.- A challenging platformer
- Great boss fights
- Clever level designs
- Lots of Secrets
- No Co-op Switching
DANKEY KANG!!!!
I would give this game a 10/10 but it's for da WIIU.
Review: Donkey Kong Country: Tropical Freeze
Tropical Freeze represents a bolder, further developed title adding new twists to pre-existing mechanics and themes. As contentious as the Wii U's software library might be, one thing it does not lack are quality 2D platformers.- HD fur/art direction is beautiful
- Depth of 2D unrivalled
- Beautiful soundtrack
- New characters add variety
- Finely managed difficulty level
- Loading screens can be lengthy
- Limited GamePad usage
Donkey Kong Country: Tropical Freeze Review
If I were Donkey Kong, I'd be f***ing pissed. Back in the 1980s, DK was just a simple construction monkey, trying to save a woman who wandered onto the job site without a hard hat. Some plumber tries to climb up and take credit, and now we're here.- I wanna move to Donkey Kong Country
