Donkey Kong Country Tropical Freeze - Review
Nintendo brought back its popular Donkey Kong Country franchise for the Wii in 2010 with Donkey Kong Country Returns . It was so well received that the publisher ported it to 3DS in 2013.
Pros:
- Donkey Kong Country in 1080p
- 'Nuff said, New secondary characters add unique ways for Donkey Kong to make his way through stages, Tons of additional content to collect will have you attempting to master this difficult game
Cons:
- Difficulty is high compared to most side-scrolling platformers
- Lack of Wii U GamePad specific mechanics
- Local multiplayer only

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

Review: Donkey Kong Country: Tropical Freeze (Nintendo Wii U)
The news that Retro Studios was working on Donkey Kong Country: Tropical Freeze was something of a mixed blessing. On the one hand, this meant that they weren't currently working on reviving one of Nintendo's other dormant franchises ( Star Fox , I'm looking at you).

Donkey Kong Country: Tropical Freeze review
When the Wii U was announced, most Nintendo fans had one question on their minds: what is Retro Studios going to make for it? The first thing you'll notice when turning on Tropical Freeze isn't the sharp HD graphics, surround sound, or the excitement of things to come; it's how long it takes to...

Donkey Kong Country: Tropical Freeze Review (Nintendo Switch) – Pure Platforming Goodness
Whilst I was a fan of Donkey Kong Country Returns on the Wii (and 3DS), it did feel a little bit soulless. With the level design being a little subpar, the characters being forgettable and it not having the charm of other games in the series, but thankfully Tropical Freeze still oozes polish from...

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
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.
