This game stunk in almost everything, from graphics to sound to gameplay to controls. It was too hard to play due to the fact that the graphics were too poor. It was too difficult to see if there were any secret entrances. Plus the controls weren't great either. It was a little difficult to control DK. This game was good when i first bought it, but than got boring to the point that i ended up selling it. I regret the day i ever brought this game.I'd rather buy DK Country 1 than this piece of junk. In my opinion, this was the worst Donkey Kong game ever made.
pretty horrible

I'm a big Donkey Kong Country fan, but this game makes me absolutely sick to my stomach. The graphics are horrible, the sound is sorry, and the black and white screen just makes me want to vomit again and again.
I hate this game so much that I made a promise to myself that I would never pop that ugly yellow cartridge back in my Game Boy ever again. Ignore this and get into the Donkey Kong Country series instead.

This game is ok. One thing I hate about this game is it only has about three colors, when games like Men In Black use all 56 colors th Gameboy Color has to offer.
Good, but could've been way better.

This game wasn't all that bad. The Graphics were poor to the point that i couldn't see any secret areas. The controls were very good. The concept was great and the game (minus the graphics) itself was great, but the graphics messed it up. I hope Rare re-makes this game for the advance, for it could be a major hit.
great game!

this is s great game if you like adventure games! There are tons of levels and the graphics sre great considering its a game boy game. You won't get bored quickly like a lot of games. There are a lot of different kinds of levels, so the game isn't too repetitive. If you like the donkey kong country games for the SNES or any other good side- scrolling adventure game you will love this game!
Amazing!

This game is really fun, except if you've already beaten a lot of the levels and can't get the others. But, all in all, I whole-heartedly recommend this game for Game Boy gamers.

This is about what you can expect from portable Donkey Kong game. It is dumbed down compared to SNES titles. Gameplay is pretty good, but not as impressive as DK Land 2. Graphics never impressed me, but aren't bad either. Sound is pretty decent though. Overall not a bad buy, but one of the weakest links in the franchise.
Good Game But Its on the SP

This game is the same as Donkey Kong Country. Same Music. Same Baddies. Same EVERYTHING! If you want to buy this, go buy Donkey Kong Country which has BETTER graphics. 4/5 Dudes.
One hecka fun game!

I think this is the best DKL game ever made. It can be hard to see at times (Or just plain HARD!), but it's still a good, fun game to play. I totally support that other guy's suggestion that there should be a GBA/DS remake.
