I found myself enjoying the game a little less when Diddy wasn't around and I had no way to get him back until the next level, since the way Donkey Kong moves on his own is a little sluggish compared to the sorts of jumps and landings you sometimes have to make. The unfortunate consequence of this is that when you take a couple of hits and lose Diddy, you also lose the hover.
The game's art design is absolutely top-notch. Like in the originals, Donkey Kong can pair up with Diddy when you find him hiding out in a level, and having Diddy onboard doubles your life and also gives you a jetpack-assisted hover move that makes the jumps a lot easier to pull off. It's no Super Meat Boy, but by the end of the first world you'll know the game demands pretty tight, specific timing of you. The platforming action is really no slouch here, either, and if you remember anything about the old DKC games, this one is also high on the difficulty scale. This is up there as one of the absolute best-looking games on the Wii. Everything moves in a big, cartoonish way, with a ton of little animations going on in the background that make the world feel especially lively. There's an incredible amount of visual variety from world to world, with levels set in jungle, beach, cave, prehistoric, industrial, and volcano environments, and Retro's artists have outdone themselves in bringing these areas to exaggerated life.
DONKEY KONG COUNTRY RETURNS WII NUMBER OF WORLDS FULL
That's just your excuse to run and jump Donkey and Diddy Kong across eight worlds full of pretty intense platforming levels. There are some comically sinister events involving some evil jungle spirits that come out of a volcano, and then (what else) Donkey Kong's stash of bananas goes missing. I've played all the way through this game, and even I'm not sure exactly what's going on in the thin wisp of a storyline. I wish the game offered more control options-namely, options that don't involve shaking the controller around-but overall this is a really well put-together and fantastic-looking platformer that will really challenge your ability to play hard games the way you used to way back when. Retro Studios already has experience resurrecting hallowed Nintendo franchises with the trilogy of Metroid Prime games, and it brings that skill to bear here to bring Donkey Kong's platforming roots onto the Wii and into the modern era.
Turns out Retro can make good Donkey Kong games too! Donkey Kong Country returns in Donkey Kong Country Returns.
