This game is fun and addictive for all ages. It's a great buy too, because for the same price as many other games, it comes with the "kongas". Lots of fun for any age player.

it's off the hook

This is a great game for ANYONE and EVERYONE over the age of 6. What this game lacks in (graphics) is made up for in quality. NOTE : This game can be very painful on your wrists and hands. Play with extreme caution

I love the bongo idea, it's actually a really fun game. However, if this game had a wider selection of songs, I'd give it a five.

If you ask me, 30 songs isn't enough. It'd be nice if one could unlock the rest, and ending up with at least 75 songs, like most music games have, i.e. DDR.

Also, I found that this game has mostly oldies tunes. I don't enjoy oldies all that much...it'd be better if we could get some newer songs in this game. Like, hits from nowadays. Yes, we can have SOME oldies songs in the game, but just a few. After all, kids and teens are most likely to be playing this game, and what do they listen to? New stuff.

So, only buy this game if you care about gameplay, and not about music, because, this isn't really a music game, with such a small selection of music.

When I went to Toys R Us a few days ago the game was one of those tester games where they let people that come to the game section try it. I thought the game was pretty cool so did my sister and brother. My parents said they wanted to buy it as soon as it came out. i think the game teaches coordination and helps with reflexes.

FUN, exceptionally addictive gameplay, a party game!

I got a chance to play DKonga at a kiosk at a game store near my town. At first I didn't know what to think of it. The whole concept seemed a little odd and a bit niche. But let me say that once I understood the play dynamics and began to hit the bongo on time, the game became extremely addictive! Now I play it daily to improve my mad skillz.

Description

Donkey Konga, Nintendo's first venture into bongos, is an excellent game featuring thirty-three hit songs from Willie Nelson's "On the Road Again," to Louis Primo's "Sing, Sing, Sing (With a Swing)," to Blink-182's "All the Small Things," to the classic "Louie, Louie." Most of the songs are good, but there are a few ("Rock Lobster," "Diddy's Ditties," and "Bingo") that are God-awful songs (if they can be called that).

Control: 5/5

Control is easy, with a simple manner of control. Beats roll across the screen, and you whack the appropriate drum or clap into the built-in clap sensor. Menu scrolling is easy, and there are fun mini-games that are easy to control.

Game Modes: 3/5

The game offers several modes to play.

MODE I: STREET PERFORMANCE
Play each song to earn coins! Includes a "Jam" mode where you memorize the songs and play them by memory, which seems hard and pointless.

MODE II: JAM SESSION
Play each song to earn... no coins. Other than to play multiplayer, this mode is rather pointless as it gives you exactly zero coins per song.

MODE III: CHALLENGE
Play each song in a row, and see how many you can clear!

MODE IV: DK TOWN
Got extra cash? Come here to spend it on new drum sets, mini-games, and songs to play on Gorilla (Hard) difficulty.

MODE V: APE ARCADE
Play three mini-games (100m Vine Climb, Banana Juggle, and Bash K. Rool)!

Bonuses: 5/5

With alternate drum sets and mini-games, this game rocks when it comes to bonuses!

Sound: 4/5

The few "bad songs" here give this a 4/5.

Value: 4/5

What you have here is a great game with a free pair of bongos (worth $30 themselves), so you've got $80 worth of stuff for $50. My only complaint is that it should have two pairs of bongos for instant multiplayer.

OVERALL SCORE: 21/25
BUY OR RENT: BUY!!!

A Gamcube Miracle

Nintendo has release a game that might be a savior to their Gamcube Consel. Donkey Konga is, without a doubt, the third best game I have ever played. Then again, I'm a sucker for rythm games. Donkey Konga introduces phisical cordination to the Gamecube, and works both your hands. It may start to ache your hands and wrists after prolonged use, but hey, every good game does! I thnik....

The game it's self is realitivly pricey, plus the costs of the bongo/s. It's a pretty penny,but it's worth it. The bongos are suprisingly durable, even thoufgh you prettty much beat them to death when you play the game. The game can go on for HOURS if you want it to, and inviting friends to play it just raises the urge to get another pair of bongos. (It's a wonderfull thing.)

Let's not forget the main part of this game, timing. This game raises your reaction time and pain tolerance greatly. By combing these asspects with the great music, stuff like the Mario Bros. Theme, is going to hit you hard. That's my two cents.... learn it and live by it.

Excellent game and very, very entertaining!

This game will have you addicted as soon as you play it. The more players you have, the funner it is. This game will teach kids basic skills in recognizing rhythms and tempos. This game can be enoyed by kids, teens, and adults at parties. This game gets an A+ from a gamer since '89.

You should like it pretty good.
