Donkey Kong Country 3 Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)First of all, I'd like to say that overall, the SNES version of this game is what I'd recommend; while it was a pretty good decision to make DKC3 available for the GBA. it still does not live up to its SNES twin's expectations.

First of all, the plot is the same as SNES: DK and Diddy were kidnapped by K.Rool and it's your job to save them.So I won't go into the story.The controls, music, and sound are what really bother me.

The controls: well, I played this game on the DS.Its controls on the DS are maddening; when I expect to run, I jump.When I try to use Dixie's hair whip, I jump instead.Although DS' control layout is different from the GBA's, it is not the system at fault; it's the game.After all, on the back of the game box, it says only for DS and GBA; you'd think that Rareware would try to make the controls suit both systems.But instead, it takes around ten minutes to beat each level as you are struggling with the silly control layout.
The music.YIKES.Try the winter level on the first world; what the heck, are there drunk monks singing in the background?On the SNES version, the music was great; it played along with the level's surroundings and whatnot.in this game, it is as if the music is meant for 3-year-olds.It is too happy.Even on the gloomiest of levels, music remains happy and friendly.The overworld music is the only piece I remotely enjoy listening to.
The sound effects are really annoying.Those kremlings that hop on their tails...those sound effects make me want to mute the game.The sliding kremlings on the winter levels...thew sound is so out of place.All the sound effects are so lame and goofy, again--is this game meant for toddlers or what?

Overall, the game was an okay transfer from one system to another--but I would recommend the SNES version over the GBA one anyday.
