THIS GAME IS THE WORST N64 GAME EVER!

This is the worst DK game ever. Dont let the awesome graphics tempt you. In the beginning of the game, it is extremely addictive, but after the first level, it all goes downhill. I have listed all of the bad things:

1) The Levels are too long, you must goto the same level 25 times to beet it.

2) The game loses its whole entire point after you rescue all the Kongs.

3) You get REALLY REALLY annoyed from the levels. Theyre almost impossible, i mean come on you dont want to spend 5-10 hours just trying to beat one level do you?

Bottom Line:

I only gave it 1 star because No stars wasnt a choice!

Doesnt Live up to the hype

This game had awesome graphics, but imagine this for those of you who havent played it. Its Mario 64 but in Mario you can find the levels. In Donkey you cant. It also takes about 7 or 8 minutes to watch theintro. I can not rate this game high at all.

Way too hard

I'm a huge DK fan. Only reason I got N64 was to play more DK. This game is way too hard. All you do is search and search and search some more. If you ever do accomplish anything there is little or no reward. It is boring and frustrating at the same time. I'm very disappointed.

As usual, great,...until the ending.

I really don't want to sound like I am whining, but this company has done it again. Just like in Banjo-kazooie, and golden-eye, they have substituted a hard "puzzle" with stict if you don't hit the button in .25 seconds or less, then you must spend the next 4 hours trying to win the game. All in all, all three of those games are great, butthe ending are ALL let downs. Instead of an ending that does test skill, they just test luck. What fun is that? I am always left with a bad taste in my mouth after beating these games. They spoil the entire "build-up" with a terrible ending. I guess they think they are being crafty, I think they are just lazy. Maybe they need to take some pointers from the people that developed Zelda.

dissapointing

This game is close to terrible, i as a teeanager, and gamer am quite dissapointed at the quality of the game. It lacks all the magic (and music) of the original SNES classic. It is way to long for the amount of interest it awakens in the gamer. By the time I collected my first banna i thought it was mediocre, but when i found out i had to collect about 200 bannanas i just quit. Also, it's to restricted; for example: You can use the rhino, but only during 5 seconds of the game, what's that all about? And you can't use any other animals. Besides, the cart scene is terrible when made 3D. I only recomend this game (and that is slightly) to the people who haven't played the SNES version, maybe they can see something good in it, but if you've played the last version and then play this you'll compare both and then you'll realize that this game [is awful]!

Not worth buying

this game was a major dissapointment. I play video games and i'm pretty good but this game was way too hard. do not get this game for younger kids they will get bored because they'll get stuck in the first couple of minutes. In the game you are supposed to find all of the Kong Klan(DK's relatives)so u can switch off to different characters instead of being DK all the time. that is a good idea but only excellerated video gamers would be able to get them. the first day my family got it, me and my siblings only played for a couple hours at the most. DO NOT get this for younger kids, i am 15 and couldn't figure it out and i have a ton of video games. This game is a rip-off and very confusing. Now the long awaited DK 64 is on the shelf collecting dust.

OH WHAT A DISAPOINTMENT

This game is the biggest waste of time ever. Imagine a game where you have no purpose except to do the same thing, over and over again, with different characters, for literally DAYS of playing time. Great graphics and lovely music doesnt make up for the most shallow game play on the N64 since that weird chameleon game.

Stick with Super Nintendo DK

This Donkey Kong 64 pales in comparison with the other Donkey Kongs for Super Nintendo. Save your money.

YOU NEED AN EXPANSION PAK

Just a word to any of you ordering this game. We don't know how fun it is yet, because it requires an Expansion Pak...which we do not have. We didn't know this when ordering.

...the camera was terrible,picking from kong to kong was annoying and collecting bannanas was stupid. The bosses were way to easy and it was just a dumb game. It's not your traditional DK. Don't by it!
