Donkey Kong Country: Tropical Freeze review
It looks fantastic, with the extra grunt of the Wii U creating a sense of spectacle. The worlds are vibrantly coloured and rich in detail, with a hyperactive camera that swooshes outwards as explosive barrels fire you into the screen. The game is at its best when it explores one-shot gimmicks.

Donkey Kong Country: Tropical Freeze review
Donkey Kong Country: Tropical Freeze is a challenging, well designed and rewarding platformer. It's the perfect start to 2014 for Wii U fans, and has topped Returns in challenge, design, soundtrack and overall fun. Tropical Freeze is unforgiving at times, but that only makes success even more sweet.
Pros:
- + Great level design
- + Looks great
- sounds even better
- + Challenging boss battles
- + Added characters
- + Collectables
Cons:
- - Multiplayer isn't that great
- - Inherently can become a little repetitive

Frozen in time.
There's something about Donkey Kong Country: Tropical Freeze that's just a little off. Maybe it's the way Donkey Kong doesn't quite land with the firm-footedness you'd expect from a Nintendo platforming mascot.
Pros:
- Exciting and challenging boss battles
- Vehicle sections help to break up the more monotonous moments
Cons:
- Dull
- derivative level design
- Employs some cheap and frustrating platforming tricks
- Harsh checkpoints during boss battles

Donkey Kong Country: Tropical Freeze review
Donkey Kong Country: Tropical Freeze will inspire a range of reactions. Fortunately it's not exactly a wide range of reactions, so we can probably just run through them one by one. Let's start with those of you who haven't played Donkey Kong Country since the days of the Super Nintendo.

Donkey Kong Country: Tropical Freeze isn't the game the Wii U needs right now (review)
It was nice of Donkey Kong Country to return and all that, but the act is already starting to feel stale. Donkey Kong Country: Tropical Freeze, coming out on Feb. 21 for the Wii U, is the follow-up to the Wii's Donkey Kong Country Returns, which was the first entry in the franchise since the days of...
Pros:
- Tropical Freeze might not have the novelty factor of its predecessor, but it's still a great platforming experience
- Levels offer plenty of challenge, with lots of extra lives and checkpoints to keep you from becoming totally frustrated after each of your (many, many) deaths.
Cons:
- Each boss fight acts like it's the final encounter of any other game
- They all feature multiple stages with different patterns to memorize, which means that they're all very, very long.

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
