Donkey Kong 64 (N64) Reviews

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 characters, the ...

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 example during ...

This game rules. If you have an N64 and haven't got this game what are you waiting for grab the car keys and go and buy it! One of the best things about this game is the graphics. I find myself just admiring the scenary every time I play it. There's so many fun mini games that you'll want to play time and time again. It's all set ...

When I first played this game and watched the musical introduction, performed by Chunky Kong with his Afro hair cut and groovy shades, and by Cranky Kong on his decks, 'Taking it to the fridge!', with the rest of the Kongs showing off their skills whilst embarking on a gymnastic performance, I knew it was going to be good. ...

After a long wait I finally got it.(See my gameplay review for a fuller explantion.)And I'm currently really enjoying it.Obvioulsy not right at this minute but you know what I mean. It's not startlingly original but it is a lot of fun.To start you can only control Donkey but as you get furthur into the game you can control more of ...

Donkey Kong 64 has probably the best graphics of any N64 game so far. But there are other things that makes this game a must have, such as the Jet Force Gemini and Banjo-Kazooie type of game (platform). Although I love this game, there are some draw backs like the sometimes annoying music. One reason I like it is the extreme difficulty ...

Rare Software have yet again come up with a superb roaming adventure game on the N64 which will appeal to gamers of all ages. The game is massive, there are many levels and secret areas to find and explore, lots to see and do and incredibly playable! Some might at first find the whole game a little overwhelming as there is so much to ...

If one developer has kept the N64's head above water during troubling times for the console, it's Rare. They've been responsible for what is arguably the best game on the system in GoldenEye, while other titles like Diddy Kong Racing and Banjo-Kazooie have offered a different class to most other releases, Ninty's own titles not ...

Donkey Kong 64 the Nintendo 64 game system is a fantastic game. Rare ware from the United Kingdom of Great Britain did a excellent job of creating this mega blockbuster hit. This game is not the normal game that you would play. There are so much stuff that you have to, or can do! You learn a whole lot of skills from climbing to swimming. You get ...

Ever since 1995 people have been trying to out-Mario Mario in the 3D platformer stakes, but it has never come off. From 'Crash Bandicoot' to 'Banjo-Kazooie' and 'Sonic Adventure' to 'Rayman', no one has ever made a platformer better than 'Super Mario 64'. 'Donkey Kong 64' is the latest challenger and ...

I had DK64 as a present for Christmas last year and didn't stop playing it for weeks. It is one of the most addictive games I have ever played. In basic terms it is a 3D platform game but in reality it is much more than that. Each world is so huge it takes ages just exploring them let alone finding what you are looking for. Every time you ...

There are five Characters to choose from in Dk from the man himself to other members of the clan, Diddy Tiny lanky and chunky. You`ll also meet other characters along the way who?ll provide clues and even weapons. DK has a coconut shooter whilst Diddy opts for the Peanut pistols, and brings a new element into the game. Graphically dk can`t really ...

This version of DKC doesn't feel like the older version on the SNES. For starters the game is too repetitive since you have to complete each level with all 5 characters to really finish the game. The controls take a while to get used to and there aren't many puzzles in the game. Really, you just explore a lot because the worlds are so ...

This game has to be one of the best games for the N64 made by the well known game developers 'Rare'. I don't think that this game has had as much as an impact as the first Donkey Kong on the SNES in terms of graphics but i think it still moved the N64 games to new levels in that it was the first game to need the expansion and the game ...

I first saw the advert for this exelent adeventure game on TV which made me read the review in the Nintendo Official magazine,it got 96%!!! The graphics are so smooth I saved up my money and bought it. You will enjoy the 8 MASSIVE worlds filled with puzzels and challenges.In the first levels you need to solve diferent puzzles to free the 4 ...

Donkey Kong Country was a landmark game on the humble SNES. The graphics were gorgeous, the gameplay smoother than a babys bum and the sound sublime, the 2 sequels werent bad either and this game was only a matter of time. Rare may be makers of the finest games around (Goldeneye, Perfect Dark etc) but i feel they missed the point a bit here. ...

This game is vast, the whole donkey kong world is huge. The expansion pack allows this and also makes the graphics brilliant, possible the best seen on the N64 to date. The game has many objectives although the main one is to collect all 200 of the bannanas to reach the boss K-ruel at the end. There are 8 levels each with different landscapes and ...

Like Marmite in the curious “real” world, Donkey Kong is a videogame brand with a heritage. Originally supposed to be “Monkey Kong” he was the victim of a typing error that created the world’s first games character. As the eponymous anti-hero of an early arcade game, it was his job to hurl barrels down onto the head ...

Although this game is excellent, there are a few things that let it down. Graphically superb, it requires an expansion pack and there are many puzzles to solve. You have the choice of Diddy, Chunky, Donkey, Tiny and Lanky, each with their own special skills and weapon. Donkey Kong must travel and set free these relatives and defeat ...
