Now, here's the thing. If I were given two choices, Donkey Kong, or Sonic the Hedgehog 3 & Knuckles, would gladly choose Donkey Kong. The arcade version, that is. Today, I, emul11, am reviewing Donkey Kong for the arcade.

  Graphics: 10
  Okay, no raging, but comparing it with the other arcade games of the 80's, this game is beautiful. The animations are nice and fluid, and the graphics without animations are stunning. Just take a look at how Donkey Kong looks on the level start screen. It's breathtaking. So the graphics get a 10. Moving on!

  Sound: 8
  For it's time, the sound was pretty much revolutionary. But to be honest, today's games have way more tracks than this! It's still very nice, and the first level theme is stuck in my head. Do do do-do-do! The sound gets a 8.

  Addictiveness: 10
  Let's face it, you knew this was going to be at 10. I always love to play to see if I can beat my old high score. So close! Enough said.

  Story: 2
  This is the weakest part of the game, though it doesn't do much as you could just ignore the story completely. If you can't, then here it is: Donkey Kong kidnapped Pauline and Mar- whoops! I mean Jumpman! Jumpman has to save her. And that's about it. It gets a 2. Next!

  Depth: 7
  This game is pretty good in terms of level design, but if you memorize the levels the game is pretty much reduced to a Atari 2600 game. Wait, didn't they release this for the Atari 2600? I'll have to try it sometimes. Anyways, the depth is low, but I still have yet to discover the Pie Factory that every one's talking about. My rating for the depth gets a 7. Last one!

  Difficulty: 4
  This game is pretty easy, though that's only because I've played it to death. It may be hard to some of you, but it just feels easy to me. Although I have to agree on some other versions. That's right, I'm staring at you, Nintendo. The difficultly gets a 4.

  Overall Rating: 9.2
  This game is very fun to play, an still keeps gamers even to this day. The difficulty may turn hardcore gamers who are looking for a challenge off, the levels may be in a pattern, but this game is still amazing. Do yourself a favor and play this. NOW.

this game is sweet so is your review good job

Good review! I tried to make a review of this game, but I can't publish it.

This was a pretty good game to play. Its a shame that the picture is not in full, all on the side. But I really liked playing it. Great Arcade.

That was a metaphor. LOL

Are you talking about the original Donkey Kong? The very first one?

Great review... Donkey Kong is a great classic of the Arcades, it deserves to be played how many times you can. Because you never get tired of trying to beat your old score.  

Once again, great review.
