Donkey Kong Country 2 Review
Overall - 9.8

Donkey Kong Country 2 on the SNES is one of my favorite lifetime games ever.  I grew up playing it and I am so good at it.  It is so much better than the first one because there are some new features that were not in the first one.  I remember playing the levels when I was a kid over and over again and the fun just never ends.  This game is a beast.

Graphics - 10

The graphics are excellent for the SNES.  i just love it so much and it looks so realistic in anime.  The graphics never get old.

Sound - 10

What I like the most about this is the theme musics in each level.  It just brings you back in the past when playing it.  I remember every song in this game, which is why it is the greatest.  The sound effects are my favorite, especially when you hit the Kremling and they say "UGH!" everytime you hit one lol.

Addictiveness - 10

I still play this game till this very day.  It is one of my favorite games of all times, like I said.  I remember losing the game when I was a kid, so I decided to get a new game of it online and played it at 14 once more.  The game was still fun for me.  The fun never ends.

Story - 10

The story is kind of the same, but a little different.  King K. Rool steals the bananas once more AND Donkey Kong.  This is pretty epic and Dixie Kong replaces him.  Dixie Kong is my favorite character in the game cause she can hover with her hair.  People always say why pick Diddy, Dixie is obviously better...not quite.  If you hadn't noticed, Dixie throws things at a distance.  Diddy throws things straight forward, but not far.  Dixie holds items with her hair, which she can't just walk to an enemy and expect them to die.  Diddy holds items with his hands and can walk up to enemies.  There's your difference.

Depth - 10

The game, like I said, has new features that the first one didn't have.  For instance, you get banana coins, which you can use to buy hints, tips, and saving.  This I just hate.  To save, you go to the granny kong (I don't know her name) and she will give you a freebie of saving, after that there is no more freebie till the next world, you have to pay her 2 banana coins if you want to save again.  That is horrible, but I think that is the only thing I use it on, and for the questions that you can answer to get balloons.  Another would be the little quiz to get balloons I just mentioned.  That is a good way to get lives.

Difficulty - 6

I'll admit that this game was difficult for me, but it is not today.  The only level I hate in this game is the Honey world, there are a couple of levels I hate in that level that drives me crazy, but I can still succeed, it just takes time.  Other than that, the game is quite simple if your good at it.

Wrap Things Up...

Donkey Kong Country 2 will probably be one of those games that I would never get bored of.  I have tried it on the GBA when my friend had it and it was pretty cool, but not cooler than the one on the SNES.  I highly recommend trying this game out if you haven't yet, it is one of the best Donkey Kong games ever! :)
  Graphics 10   Sound 10   Addictive 10   Depth 10   Story 10   Difficulty 6

Donkey Kong has been kong-napped by the nasty K.Rool and the Kremlings, and it is up to Diddy Kong and his girl-friend Dixie Kong to save him.All the familiar enemies and helpful friends return, along with some new characters, including the wise Wrinkly Kong who will teach you some important lessons in gameplay. Again the emphasis is on banana collecting, where as every 100 bananas makes one extra life. Apart from beating K. Rool and rescuing Donkey Kong, there are extra missions that can be completed. Collect enough K. Rool Krem Coins to open up the routes to the Lost World, while every level has a hidden Hero Coin to collect.

Overall 9.4    Graphics 9.6    Sound 9.2    Addictive 9.6    Story 8    Depth 9.4    Difficulty 7.3

 Okay, I'm not sure if it's just me, but when I played this game, none of the world or level names showed up on screen. How am I supposed to know whether I have everything in the level or not if I can't even see the progress I have on each level?

 Now this game is a classic! This is one of my favorites, although collecting the collectables could get a little hard without help. All in all, this is a great addition in the series of Donkey Kong Country! One funny thing is the error in the title.

 @Kizza, You press F2 to save where your game is currently at, or find the old lady in the game to save.

Tanman777 07-03-12 - 01:01 AM
 Never mind, I fixed the problem, but the games have a lot of freezing up and slowdown. Does anybody know how to fix that?
