I love this game to death. My brother and I played it for years and now my child is 8 and I’m passing on the tradition. We played for 12hrs straight 10am-10pm the first 2 days we had it. We haven’t beaten all the level with 100% accuracy yet, but we have advanced to the 3rd location on the map. Once we get enough coins to purchase multiple parrots, we will go back to find the remaining hidden puzzle pieces. Who doesn’t want a golden banana trophy!?

Like earlier Donkey Kong Country games, Donkey Kong Country Returns is a side-scrolling platformer, but although the game contains classic references, as well as levels and activities reminiscent of earlier games in the series, it is far from a remake. In fact, Donkey Kong Country Returns stands very much on its own not only in its nearly 3D status, but also in its new visual treatment and control scheme. The game features the familiar team of Donkey Kong and his little buddy Diddy Kong. The goal is make your way across Donkey Kong Island collecting bananas and search for hidden items as you swing on vines, ride mine carts and more as you avoid the variety of enemies and situations set against you. New silhouette graphical treatment of both game heroes and enemies in certain levels also introduces new challenges, as players must perform all actions from within an entirely new perspective. The game also features the players choice of either the Wii Remote/Nunchuk controller configuration, or a sideways oriented Wii Remote. In addition to simple navigation and jumping movements, the Wii Remote also allows for a variety of other actions, including: ground pounds, rolls and even air blowing with simple, yet timed shaking of the remote. In addition, the game also contains fun and user-friendly co-op functionality. In co-op mode players take on the role of either Donkey Kong or Diddy. Both characters have abilities of their own, but work together. Beyond this the game takes possibilities for cooperation even further, especially with players of different skill levels, as Diddy can if need be simply rest on Donkey Kong's shoulder and let him do all the work at times. In the event of death, either character can also be revived by the other by hitting a Donkey Kong barrel within the game. The game also continues the series' use of additional animal friends such as Rambi the Rhino, who can serve as a battering ram and can be ridden in certain areas of the game.Read full review
If you liked the original donkey kong country series, you will absolutely love dkc returns. The level design is great,sound is great, graphics are beautiful, all the luster of the original is left in tact.The game play mechanics are spectacular and feels very very good. One problem I had though is that the classic controller is not supported so you must use the wii's broken shake function and it really takes away any precision you might have had otherwise. Nintendo does this to many of its wii titles and ruins the experience for those of us who do not like to shake the controller like an idiot all day. :) The game is great though so if that does bother you... you'll get over it..or used to it... unfortunately thats how nintendo rolls. I love my wii, I love nintendo games and have stuck with them for many years, yet there are many instances where I can not even begin to describe how much I hate it when they screw things up. Think of how many controllers you need to buy to get the full experience with a wii... four wiimotes, four nunchucks, four classic controllers and four gamecube controllers. You would think they would support them or at least give you the option to set up your own control scheme...Read full review

Donkey Kong Country Returns for the wii has many classic elements of Donkey Kong, such as balloons for lives. It is also not a easy game, it will challenge you as a player, but leave you coming back for more. It has a very colorful vibrant landscape, with characters such as cranky kong and diddy kong accompanying you on your adventure. As far as controls go the game has a blend of the Wii's motion technology and classic simplistic gaming styles of past Wii Mario games. That being said if you do not enjoy shaking your wii remote at all then that will take the fun out of the game for you, you have to shake the remote to play it, but if you can get over the occasional remote shake then you can enjoy a wonderful Donkey Kong game
