Destroyed by Donkey Kong Country Returns



Do you want to play a game that will piss you off like no other? If you are on board you will want to play Donkey Kong Country Returns.

This game is hard as hell and if you can get to the end of the game without smashing your Wii into bits you are a winner. Beside the game being difficult it is loads of fun. New Super Mario Bros. Is a bit difficult, DKCR is about a hundred times more difficult. You will die a lot. Good thing is Dying doesn't set you back, there are plenty of lives and checkpoints.

Shaking the Wii remote to stomp gets old after a while and it does make me wonder why Retro didn't add the option to use a button for stomping and such. Getting over that the game is very good. The mechanics are good which is a relief because if you fucked that up in a side scroller we would have a problem. The game is beautiful and this is good for my eyes. There is some strange hypnotism stuff in it like bananas circling the screen each time you start a stage or other strange cut scenes with hypnotizing music. Maybe you notice it too or I'm simply fucked in the head. It's like the game is trying to get into your head with all of the difficulty and hypnotism. It definitely got inside my head. It didn't take me that long into the game to simply forget about puzzle pieces. I would sometimes get the kong letters. If you can get all kong letters and all puzzle pieces you are a grand master of super hard games. I commend you if you have done this.

I would suggest getting a ton of alcohol and play this game with friends because of the fun factor involved. I think you will need to be sober as a nun with this game. You will need every bit of brain power you can muster up. So this might be an excellent game for friends after and AA meeting.

Retro did an excellent job with this game and have kept the side scrolling Donkey Kong alive and well.
Looks like another Donkey Kong is coming out here soon. Nintendo is closer to getting me to buy a Wii U.
