When I first heard about DK64 I knew that I wanted it. So i ordered without renting it and Volia.. I have had hours of Fun playing it. I think that Nintendo did an excellent job in putting together this game. It is also a nice touch to play as different kongs. I would highly recommend this to anyone!
He's back!

I love it! DK is back- but this time he's not alone! He, Diddy, and three new characters have made their biggest debut ever! My only regrets are that you cannot jump on things to kill them. Of course you get to learn lots of really cool moves like the Simian Slam or Hunky Chunky, but it just subtracts from the quality a little. Also, even with the very few animals you can become - who would want to waste ammo to be Rambi the Rhino for less than ten seconds (no offense to Rambi of course - he's a very nice character). Yet, even though it loses some of it's color from game to game - it gains alot in return. So, ecept for a few tiny details- I don't think I could compare with all the 3D worlds, characters, Bosses, bananas, coins, guns, ammo, banana faries, puzzles, and minigames that RAREWARE has to offer. ...............
wow

Well it finally came and it lived up to my expectations! The included expansion pack really helps with a bunch of lighting effects. The game get an extra star simply because of the fact that you can play the original Donkey Kong! All retro fans should be pleased!

DK64 has been a blast to play. Sure, it requires you to go through each level 5 times - once for each character, but it is like a different game for each character. Your frame of mind becomes that of the character with which you are playing. What I like are the different moves that each character has to learn along the way. It is a progressive process much like Banjo-Kazooie, but the graphics make the difference. The mini-games inside each world also make for an "edge-of-your-seat" atmosphere. You are dying to see what's next. Although the game is time-consuming, it is worth every second! A winner!

Donkey Kong 64 is one of the best games created on Nintendo 64. It is like Mario 64 + BanjoKazooie put together but a lot easier. It is challenger but not enough to make you want to stop playing. The only downside is that you have to keep changing characters to get all the golden bananas on each level. Also Tiny Kong becomes very, very, very annoying because she makes indescribable sounds.

Donkey Kong is finally on the N64! I have been waiting a long time for it, wondering what it would be like. Well, it is a lot like Banjo-Kazooie, not that that is a bad thing; in fact, that is a very good thing. The best thing about DK64, however, is not the amazing graphics, or funny animations, or even the wide variety of items available in the levels. The best thing about it is the depth of the gameplay. There are five playable monkeys, and each one is necessary to completing each level. Switching between Kongs adds extra strategy and fun to the game. Overall, this is an extremely fun game, that will surely keep you coming back for more.
Great Adventure Game!

Donkey Kong is one of the best adventure games on N64. As the game proceeds you unlock different kongs. My favorite is Tiny!! The levels and areas are complete and fully developed. It's not one of those games where you can finish it in a day, it takes months and months. I haven't even completed it! I think this is a great game for kids and teens, they'll enjoy long hours of fun and enjoyment. The graphics are very good too. I highly recomend it..!!
Rare delivers yet again

Following up on the three Donkey Kong Country titles is this, Donkey Kong 64. The graphics on this game are incredible. Every single detail is perfect. Mostly everything about this game is fantastic. You will eventually get 5 different Kong members, each with their own abilities. Unfortunately this leads to a lot of backtracking though levels. But even that can be a fun experience. Rare also did their best to include a bunch of multiplayer features. DK64 also features a tremendous amount of bonus features. As you may have come to expect from Rare, this game is pure gold.
DK IS SOOOOOOOOO COOL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Donkey Kong is practically the best Nintendo 64 game! It is just so cool! I has tons of levels, 5 players that you earn, golden bananas you collect, sweet musical insturments and guns, and so much more. You can also do a 2 3 or 4 player game if you want!! :) I would really recomend it if you like adventure/exploraton games! The only ahrd thing is beating the arcade version of it to get the N64 coin, which you need to win. The other coin you need is the Rareware coin which is so easy to get:get 15 banana medals and give them to Cranky and then beat the astronaut game he gives you!! A strategy guide book would be very helpful with bosses and stuff!!! :)
It got me stuck anyway....

The game is great, until the part where you get near the castle and everything goes dark and rainy. Not only do you not know what to do, but you cant see anything your doing. I still like the game, and it is beutifully done, but i have ben stuck in the same spot for a while so let this review just show you what happend to me could happen to you!
