Donkey Kong Country: Tropical Freeze Review
My primary memories of the original Donkey Kong Country – comprising two of the SNES' best games, and a third that I can't help but view through rose-coloured shades – are memories of extreme frustration.

Donkey Kong Country: Tropical Freeze (WiiU) - Review
I love Donkey Kong Country . I always have. Ever since the first game came out on the SNES in 1994, I have been a strong supporter of the series; I even loved Dixie Kong's Double Trouble , despite its toony aesthetic and childish main character.

Insert ape-related pun here - Donkey Kong Country: Tropical Freeze review
Donkey Kong's just wanted to be liked for so long. The erstwhile villain to everyone's favorite plumber, Donkey Kong decided long ago that if you can't beat him, you might as well join him - or, emulate him, in the case of Donkey Kong Country.
Pros:
- Donkey Kong Country looks great in HD
- Dixie and Cranky Kong add a few new wrinkles to the mix
Cons:
- Feels way to similar to previous entries
- Controls are still sluggish and imprecise
- Frustratingly drawn-out boss battles

Donkey Kong Country Tropical Freeze
Hardcore gamers can rejoice now that Donkey Kong Country Tropical Freeze has been released on the Wii U. Expect your favorite monkey characters (not rolling around in see through balls) to make appearances. Expect the intense difficulty from start to finish. Expect tough and long boss battles.

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...
Pros:
- Great presentation
- with lush graphics and charming music
- Incredibly challenging
- but never feels unbeatable
- New Kongs encourage different playstyles
Cons:
- 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.
Pros:
- Might be Wii U's best-looking game
- Wonderful David Wise soundtrack
- Challenging in all the right ways..
Cons:
- ...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
The oxymoronic nature of Donkey Kong Country: Tropical Freeze 's subtitle works extraordinarily well as both a punny descriptor of the game's frosty anthropomorphic Viking invasion of the Kong family's equatorial homeland and as a summarization of the type of conservative-meets-cutting-edge gameplay...
