Donkey Kong Country 3
Reviewed by Lance Whalley
Hi, I'm here to review one of the coolest games of all time, Donkey
Kong Country 3. Now, imagine this, you're playing one of the old games
of DKC. You've beat it several times. You're thinking of putting away
the system for awhile until a challenge comes along. Then bang your
system shuts off automatically. All you see is a blank screen. You
think it's one of them boring TV commercials right? WRONG! Next
thing you know, the screen explodes and you get a game cartridge..
(Fantasy rocks!) The cartridge is labelled Donkey Kong Country 3:
Dixie's Double. You think its a prank, I say it's a miracle.
Graphics 9 out of 10
The graphics were just perfect. You could see total monkey when your
guy gets blasted around on the screen by a bunch of crazy barrels. It is
so cool. I loved just looking at the monkeys going haywire on the screen
jumping on Kremling after Kremling non-stop. It sure was fun and I hope
everyone agrees with me.
Music and Sound 8 out of 10
I hope they make a DK Jamz 3 out of this game. You can just party to
almost every song you hear in that game. I loved the music so much,
I almost wanted to start head-bag right in the middle of the game.
Game Challenge 10 out of 10
The only part I had trouble beating was the Knautilus in Kemlantis.
I always managed to get zapped by the lightning that circles the metal
barrel. I could never really manage to get the barrel in that vacuum to
nail K.Rool. Overall, it was way better than the other two.
Game Play-Fun 9 out of 10
The bonus levels in the game are excellent. Nailing targets is awesome.
Then when Cranky loses, it's the funniest part of the game, him and his
wisecracks. I also liked it when the monkeys go so fast on the screen,
they are almost like a blur.
Frustration
Definitely the level with the Knautilus.
Replayability 6 out of 10
Once you know where everything is by heart, you kinda get tired of the replay.
Game Value 7 out of 10
I thought that I made a good choice when I bought that game. I am positive
I got my money's worth.
Two-Player mode 10 out of 10
I loved to smoke my opponents by getting really far in the game and not
telling them anything or how to use Special Animal Abilities. Heh heh heh.
It was fun to watch my opponents suffer like that.
Overall 10 out of 10
I definitely hope there will be part four to this amazing game. And that
isn't any miracle. 'Nuff said.
