Donkey Kong 64 (N64) Reviews

The best game to compare DK64 with is probably Super Mario 64. So we'll do that. Graphics: Well graphics-wise, DK64 is definitely better than SM64, mainly due to the fact that its a few years newer, and as the game requires the N64 Expansion Pak, it adds the capability to produce much higher quality textures, as ...  Read the complete review

I first played this game at my friend's house and even with our combined gaming skills we still haven't managed to complete it yet. There is a lot to do on this game, which means you get many hours of playing time out of it. One of the first things I noticed about this game was it's similarities to Banjo-Kazooie as they were ...  Read the complete review

This is by far one of the best N64 games Nintendo has to offer. The SNES version kicked off pretty well, and after that, well...there's not one person who doesn't know who the big DK is. This game is so full of stuff I'm surprised it all fit into that little cartridge!! You have all these worlds of ice and jungles and ...  Read the complete review

Excellent Game - Advantages: Keeps you going for a while - Disadvantages: Sometimes makes you dizzy

Donkey Kong 64 is arguably the best platformer on the N64 and as the 64 is the console that has the greatest ever platformers on it that is one great praise. Donkey Kong pits you (once again) against the evil King K. Rool. You play as 5 cool Kong’s of course 2 of them are Donkey and Diddy but this game introduces you to pony tail ...  Read the complete review

If there is one game that Rare should be proud of its this. It is the only platform game that is better than Mario and once you have played it you will see why. It has around 10 levels (I don?t know the exact amount, as I haven?t completed it yet) and a total of 7 characters that you can be. The controls are very easy to handle and the ...  Read the complete review

Adventure - 1 Player Where do I start? This game is HUGE, and by no means over hyped, the graphics on this game are absolutly amazing, the attention to detail that only Rare spot, as seen before in Banjo-Kazooie is once again present in this Rare Masterpiece. Although not quite as Unique as Banjo-Kazooie, the game boasts 5 playable ...  Read the complete review

He's back,bigger and better than ever. I bought this game on the advice of opinions that I'd read on dooyoo. I have to say that they were all right, it's brilliant. The game is bigger with more levels and characters, these beingDK, Diddy,Tiny, Chunky and Lanky(Chunky 's my favourite). To complete the ...  Read the complete review

Damn straight, Donkey Kong is here and this amazing conversion from the Snes rules. The added feature of them 4 extra characters (3 who are new) and loads of levels, this game will keep you glued to the N64 for months. The main feature of the game is the new 3D enviroment, in which you have to battle Beavers, Bees and The ...  Read the complete review

Donkey Kong 64 (DK64) is big. It is undoubtedly the biggest game ever to appear on the N64 and its sheer size makes an 4 MB RAM expansion pack essential. The game just will not work without it. And this is no gimmick, the extra memory is there on the screen in the stunning lighting effects, the full view you have of each level with no ...  Read the complete review

Donkey Kong country on the SNES was one of one favourite so I had high hopes for it's N64 debut. To be honest I was a little disappointed when I started playing it as it is very similar to Banjo-Kazooie, which is not bad thing but I was expecting something a bit different. You start off as Donkey Kong and work your way from ...  Read the complete review

Donkey Kong 64 is Donkey Kongs first outing on the N64 and is a platform game much in the mould of the Donkey Kong Country series on the SNES. The game is a 3D platforming game which is very similar to RARE's previous 3D platformer Banjo Kazooie. The game is pretty good and has superb graphics (well superb for the N64 anyway) but ...  Read the complete review

I find it hard to believe that a lot of people didn't think that "Donkey Kong 64" deserved all the hype that it got. It's one of the best 3D action/adventure games for the Nintendo 64 and I didn't see anything bad about it. Of course, the graphics are the best part of it, but the sound, control, and fun factor are ...  Read the complete review

The SNES version of Donkey Kong was the best game available for the console, and now it’s in 3D for the N64, which makes it ten times better. Fantastic graphics, cute characters and huge levels; not to mention fantastic lighting and control make Donkey Kong one of the most addictive and enjoyable games ever created. Together with ...  Read the complete review

After playing Donkey Kong on the Super Nintendo we awaited this one with bated breath and were hugely disappointed. I went straight out and purchased this game but got quite fed up with it. If you have played Banjo-Kazooie you will notice a few too many simularities they have used the same kind of ideas from what is a very good game like ...  Read the complete review

Donkey Kong hit the market on December 3rd, and many gamers rushed out to buy it after the mastery of Banjo Kazooie. Most were disappointed. Despite the N64 mags lashing out praise just because it’s a Rare game, I know several people who have the game and have got bored with it after a day or two. Maybe Rare got so much money ...  Read the complete review

Donkey Kong is the best platform game for the best console for platform games it's got five different characters with five different special moves theres lots of other special moves. You can get of old characters like cranky Kong there's still those great barrel games but this time in 3D. There's 8 levels with 25 golden ...  Read the complete review

This game is the follow on to Donkey Kong on the SNES, which I enjoyed. The problem with this one is the fact it is none different from any of the other other platform games which have already been bought out, such as Mario 64 and Banjo Kazooie. Infact this game is so much like Banjo Kazooie, if it wasn't for the different ...  Read the complete review

The first thing that will grab you about DK64 is the truly incredible graphics. As one of the first N64 games to truly take advantage of the expansion pak, DK64 looks superb. Although strangely there is still a little bit of pop-up, the animation of the characters is incredible, and some of the lighting effects are sensational, for ...  Read the complete review
