It's been a long time coming, but
Donkey Kong Country is back and in very fine form. An update of the best selling Super Nintendo games, DKCR is all about old school platforming insanity, and the guys over at
Retro Studios clearly have a great appreciation and fondness for the source material. Aside from a curiously absent King K. Rool and his Kremlings (the enemies and main baddie from the originals), this game does a fantastic job of recreating the look and feel of the 1990's titles. The overall aesthetic is pitch perfect; the music is sensational and even the extreme level of difficulty has returned...trust me, this game does not pander to today's somewhat coddled gamers.
Trust me, this monkey does not fuck around...
