Donkey Kong on the NES. I think that this is one of the first Donkey Kong games that came out. It is one of the best classics from what Nintendo says. I remember playing this game a long time ago, maybe 3 or 4 years ago. I sucked at it, but now that I played it from this year, it has gotten easier. In this game, there are some positive things and some negatives things about this game. This game never ends the fun.
Graphics - 8
The graphics were okay at that time period. The way Mario looks is rememberable and Donkey Kong is what you expect to look like. The enemies and items are not too bad looking for an NES game. Its quality is good and it is probably better than games that have items that people would not know what it looks like.
Sound - 7
The sound is kind of confusing. First off, whenever Mario walks, he makes this squeaking sound. It also does the same noise when he climbs. The jumping is just weird. It sounds like an enemies got hit and died in an arcade game. Another thing that sucks is that there is no background music. It is just peace and quiet and you only hear the barrels falling. What kind of game is that where it has no music till you beat the level.
Addictiveness - 7
The game can get addicting, just like Super Mario Bros and Pacman. It is one of those games that you cannot stop playing and you want to beat the high score. That is what people were like in the past, but now in this decade, people seem to not give a crap about playing it because it is old and dull. I think that they are wrong. People these days still play this game. What I do not get is why it was not one of the Top 10 Ambassador Program for the 3DS. It is confusing, but I guess it came in 11th place. It gets boring when you play it for about a straight 30 minutes, unless if you are a pro at this game.
Story - 7
The story is one of those same stories that we keep hearing. Mario has to save a girl named Pauline from Donkey Kong. People thought that it is Peach, but it is not, it is Pauline. On Mario vs Donkey Kong games, they put Pauline in there instead of Peach. They still do that with the other Mario vs Donkey Kong games. I do not get why they would do this, but they probably wanted to keep the same series of people from the old days.
Depth - 5
The game does not have a lot of things. What I do not like about is that there is only 3 levels and after you beat the third level, it brings you back to the first level of the game, but only in a harder mode. I did not like this cause it was like playing the game over and over again. I hated it so much, but it was still fun since it gets harder.
Difficulty - 5
On a count of how good you are, it is easy, but if you are a beginner or that is not good at this game, it is hard for you. What is hatred about this game is that Mario cannot fall down at a distance. If you fall down from 2 inches up, you die. It is just horrible, but the rest is okay and easy, especially when you play the levels constantly.
Wrap Things Up...
Donkey Kong on the NES is a great classic game and I would recommend playing this game if you hadn't already. Out of all the negatives I have said in this review, it is still a pretty damn good game. If you have not played this already in your entire life, try it out, you will like it if you are good at these kind of games. Overall - 9
