Well , what do we say about this! My brother got this yesterday and he has not got anywhere he has got into the first leveland that is all. I think this game will be a challenge for my brother who will need the cheat book, he is only 5 yrs old but has passed these games:Zelda ,Mario 64, Banjo kazooie, star wars , Mario Party and rugrats.
This game has wonderful graphics and i think it will be like a mixture of super mario and banjo kazooie.
Let me give you some advice get it for an 8 yr old up, not younger , because my brother can pass games faster than an 8 yr old and right now he is siting downstairs on the nintendo confusing himself.
Dont get me wrong though I actually think it is the best game ever cause im 11 and I can pass it, well I don't really feel in the mood to pass those mini games though , but I will eventually.
Sad for being Donkey Kong

I thought this game was going to be fun. I gave it 2 stars because the graphics where ok but it is hard to know where you are going. This game is confusing. Maybe it is for 12 year olds because my little sister could play it better than me. MARIO RULES!
Great game!

This game is great. It is very challenging. It is not at all like banjo-kazooie. At first when I heard about it, I thought it was going to be like banjo - kazooie. This game is great. The only problem is that it can get a little frustrating at times.
Great Game!

This game is really fun but you can't do it all in 1 day. Or even a week. Even after you get all the characters you are still only 17% through. I was told by a friend that you can use Lanky's long arms to reach a portal through the wooden guy without paying. We tried it but it didn't work. When I tried it alone I rapidly hit B and it worked. It's a really cool shortcut so you don't have to get Golden Bananas anymore. All you need is regular bananas, coins, equipment, and beat the bosses. It's so cool. It's just like cutting out the middle monkey. :) Hee Hee Hee.
Well that's your code for the day, I'm done. Good-bye Now

This game is very disappointing. If you enjoyed it on SNES, don't be fooled. It is boring and nearly impossible with a guide book. I am very disappointed because I bought all of the Donkey Kong sequels on SNES and enjoyed it, but I not sure if I want any future sequels due to this game.
Extremely average.

I never did like this game. The graphics and the lighting effects are spectacular for the N64, and this is why the game is getting the 3 stars I gave it. This was a very frustrating, monotonous, and overall uninteresting platform game. Super Mario 64 was a lot better than this mess Rare put out. Take Care of yaselves
This game will drive you to a new hobby........

Well I love the N64 but I must admit the game selection for the past couple of years has been very limited. This game was supposed to be a savior and reward all of us who still like the N64 and appreciate it for it's ability to throw amazing graphics at you. However this game falls so short that it was the last straw for me in a way. The game is pointless. The worlds are huge but all you do is wander around for an eternity and do petty little tasks and then you're right back to wandering around only to pick up a rock or something. Believe me when I say this is one of the most if not the most annoying and heartbreaking games I have played. This game is definitely for very young players but not for anyone who wants a challenging game. One thing good came of it though. It drove me to do something I've always wanted to do which is woodworking. In a way it's the best game I've ever played because it was the straw that broke the camels back. I don't even play my N64 anymore and I could'nt be happier. If you want a new hobby then this is the game for you.
Yeah

As you probably know, Nintendo depends on their Mario, Luigi, Yoshi and all the other stupid characters. Those are the only N64 and Gamecube platformers. Nintendo people are obviously on drugs when they make video games. Here's a monkey. Oh, let's say some weird little thing steals this other monkey! Oh , yeah. That's how the game was created.
Nintendo games are creative, but sometimes overly so. In Yoshi's Story, play a few minutes and you'll obviously know that it was marketed to 5-year-olds. Now to the game, it's DUMB. There's not one aspect of it that's fun. You run around being some fat blob of monkey trying to get "Golden Bananas" that are a obvious ripoff of Banjo-Kazooie and Tooie. Just signals they're out of ideas. This has gotten rave reviews from just about anybody that has played it and I have no friggin idea why. It's just dumb and so is Nintendo. Nintendo Revolution? *rolls eyes* It will revolutionize bad gaming.
