This game is worth buying simply for the 4mb graphics expansion pack. The game itself is fun, but nothing too exceptional. The characters are easy to control, and the camera angles make it easy to tell whats going on. If you enjoy action/adventure games this cart should be in your library of games.

I used to have all 3 of the nintendo donkey kongs, they were somewhat fun, but this....Geez there are only 3 games for the N64 and (in my opinion) all other game systems that can match up to the fun of this one. Think about it. Every game gets boring, but this game has a whole lot of replay value. The game is so much fun, I ll play it again when I get back from football.
Jam to the funky tunes of Donkey Kong!

The DK crew is back with some new faces as well! You get Diddy, Cranky, Candy, Funky and of course DK himself. K.Rool plans on destroying the DK isles (again!) He also steals DK's hoard of Golden Bananas which he "treasures so much" (also again!) You start out in DK's tree house (also, also again!) Squaks tells you that K.Rool has stolen the Golden Bananas and his friends. This game has it all. Great music, funny characters, and my favorite the 1981 Donkey Kong arcade game and JetPac (yes with only a C.)
Banjo Kazooie Duplicate Provides Original Fun

ALthough this game looks, sounds, and feels incredibly like Banjo Kazooie, it still provides a cornucopia of new levels and new types of puzzles and experiments. I'd strongly recommend this to any new Nintendo Player and i'd still recommend it to experts in the field of nintendo games (if you consider that a field).

It is fun Because you can be five different charecters and you can change in the middle of the level. There's alot of more stuff that make it a Five Star Plus like you can battle in mutil-player L ike in Goldeneye
A Lot of Questions...

At first, the Kongs are all trapped in cages. Why are THEY all trapped, and not D.K.? Why aren't they dead? Think of it, wasn't K Rool's intention to kill them anyway? I mean, he was going to blow up their island, which would technically make monkey meat out of them. If he was really worried about D.K. foiling his plan, why didn't he just capture him and kill him?!
The gameplay will require a lot of concentration, and may frustrate you. You can't change views in the swimming barrel and "Beaver Bother" really is a bother! All you get at the end of each game is a stinkin' bananna!
However, I liked that each primate had its own cool attacks, and the bosses were somewhat funny. I incredibly enjoyed throwing a light fixture onto K Rool's head! I laughed a lot and actually spent time on the game. Buy it, but consider the lacking plot.
I've loved it since 1999

I got this game in 1999 and it's really fun. I'm still playing it to this very day. You get so into the game that it never gets boring. The only thing I don't like is that stupid evil boss fromm level 3(damn you Jerk-In-The-Box!!!!!!!!) But overall=5 stars!!!!!
EXCELLENT

This game is simply one of the most wonderful ever created. Its settings are detailed and practical, the characters likable and capable, and the plot is one of fun and adventure. I think action lovers should stay clear of this games, since it is more adventure than combat. I personally enjoy this game because of its complete harmlessness. The game is peaceful and enjoyable, with a few moments of agreeable and excitable tension. I would recommend this game to most ages, but adults as a general rule don't like video games, so I wouldn't know about them.
Great game

This is a very long hard and complicated game. Its a good addition to any game library. It is a lot like Banjo Kazoii though.
