This game has got everything packed in with an expansion pack. Its got Tiny, Lanky, and Chunky joining the Kong crew while they all have a lot of moves. It has tons of minigames and great graphics. You can even play origanal DK or Jetpac on this game. Ths game is the best and I do not doubt that.

This vide game is actually my 3rd personal favorite out of all
my Nintendo 64 video games. But I am very concerned about my
little sister. Some material may be not appropiate for children
under 7 years of age. But this game is the coolest of the cool!!
Donkey Kong always keeps his cool. The coolest of all the members
is Tiny Kong. She spins with her hair. Her ponytail power could
be helpful when she is falling off a high place. That way, she
would not take any damage. The best thing about this game is
that there is a beautiful realistic 3-D graphic of the island.
So if you are under 7, please do not buy this game. And remember,
BUY THIS GAME AS SOON AS POSSIBLE!

Wow! Amazing game! When you first start out you hear the worst possible rap ever! Even the players guide said so. But it gets better after that! All five Kongs are great. My favorite is Chunky. Being able to play Rare's first game and the first DK game is really cool! You can get all the items in the Instruction book except for the "Scrol of Gameplay" It is not a real item. When you defeat K. Rool It gets stranger by the second. If you like Banjo-Kazoie of Banjo-Tooie you will love DK64. Multiplayer is super fun for James Bond game fans or just plain Multiplayer fans. A Must Buy along with Ocaraina of Time and Moriagh's Mask. Bosses are difficult but not impossible. If you need help E-mail me ant BIGman21.att.worldnet.net. The game even comes with a free Expansion Pack! It is useful for other games beside DK64.
So they're finally here, performing for you...

Donkey + Diddy + Tiny + Lanky + Chunky = MAXIMUM FUN! I have never played such an incredible game in my life, the graphics are enough to wow you, but there is even (believe it or not) a half decent storyline, so you have an incentive to carry on. Its an expensive game, but worth every penny because the levels are excellent. There is so much to do (sounds like an ad. for Disney world, I know) and even if you are bad at games (like me) there will always be something you can do. I would recommend this to absolutely anybody. Unless of course you need to spend your spare time revising for exams - if you do, don't buy it, cos you'll spend all your time trying to beat Tiny's boss instead of learning about the Halogens (or something). Definitely something to put on your birthday/ Christmas list...

This is a very fun game, for beginners and more advanced players. I think it is very fun because you can have up to four players. There is alot of action and the graphics are super. This game can use a rumble pack. The game is a challenge but okay for a 9 year old to use. There isn't any violence and is good for a family.

I like the game, overall, but I feel that there are some areas that could use improvement. The first area is the controller. I am not sure that I understand the point of having a controller that does not allow you to use all of the functions. I would prefer to use the four way pad on the left rather than the stick in the middle. The monkeys are already so annoyingly spastic that the middle stick just adds to the frustration. Nothing like falling off the top of some high place because the monkey is having a grand mal seizure. Poor things. Another area that I feel needs some work is the camera angle feature. Some of the areas are very difficult if you can't see what it is you are trying to do because of the camera angle. I also get annoyed when the viewpoint switches in the middle of the action or the scene, as I usually get smacked about then. The graphics are pretty good, although they need some work as well. I get tired of being able to see through the side of a wall, or inside a barrel because of bad programming. As others have said, there is a lot to do, and it is VERY different from the old DK games, where you simply go from one place to another, trying not to get killed in the process. It is good in some ways, but tedious at times, as well. Finally, I was disappointed in the fact that this is really a one-player game (not multi-player as listed on the box). My wife and I both like to play, but now she simply gets to sit there and kibbutz. And who needs more of that?
Not Quite as Good as Super Mario 64!

Though this game plays a lot like Super Mario 64 it is not quite as good. That is because everything you do a each level you have to repeat as a different character so it gets too redundant. It was a lot easier to beat than Mario 64 as some of those stars are very difficult to get. There are very few in this game that are very difficult.

When I bought this game a month ago I figured it would be a fun game much like the old Super Nintendo game that I used to play. It turned out to be much more! The characters all have special traits. There are "banana fairies" that you have to rescue. They're so cute! The worlds are very intricate and beautiful. A few things I don't like is that swimming underwater is very difficult and for younger players the levels are frustratingly complicated. I would definetly recommend this game to anyone who loves exploring large worlds and enjoys finding all kinds of secrets!
Best N64 game ever

If you have an N64, then you should buy this game - it's what you bought your N64 for. Better than Zelda, better than Mario: it's an incredible, immersive experience. The music is probably the best game music I've ever heard, the graphics are really stunning (even in our graphics-saturated game market), and the game itself is HUGE, and loads of fun.
The mini-puzzles and games-within-games are the best I've played, and some of them are really involved. I can't say enough good stuff about this game - buy it and you won't be disappointed.

I give this game 5 stars for fun because it is really very fun. But my overall rating is 4 stars because the characters do use some foul language.
