Editorial Reviews :
Trying to get Donkey Kong Country onto Game Boy must have been something like trying to force a gorilla into a banana suit. Yes, it must have been quite a hairy experience for the folks at Rare; but, somehow, some way, they pulled it off.
The Game Boy version of DKC isn't as colorful as the Super Nintendo version, and the sound quality takes a big hit, but the fun of the original action title remains.
Players will spend hours bouncing and swinging through levels, and looking for bananas and hidden minigames that can be opened up by pounding the ground and throwing TNT into walls. There's also a bit of fast-paced mine-car riding, and players can switch between Donkey and the scrawnier Diddy when they lumber through levels.
One problem with the translation is quirky hit detection. In other words, players might think that they jumped on an enemy's head properly, but end up dying anyway. This is a small price to pay for so much Nintendo goodness in a portable package.
Buyer Reviews :
This game is an ok remake of the SNES classic, but it falls short of its expectaions. Of course, Donkey Kong Country was an excellent SNES game so that's why I give this game the three stars but nothing more. The 8-bit GBC just can't handle the 16-bit game, and that's why the graphic quality and much of the sound is greatly diminished. The blurry visuals makes it hard for one to play the game during various levels ( the mine cart races come to mind) so its just not fun to play like its SNES cousin. Sure, there are some new minigames to play, but overall the experience is pretty much the same. Unless you're a Kong fanatic and want to relive this experience again, don't bother with this mediocre game. A note to Nintendo and Rareware, please just stick to the NES-to-GBC translations, and save any more SNES game remakes for the much more powerful Game Boy Advance.
