Even so, I didn't get it initially because I heard the motion controls were a little overdone, so I waited for the 3DS version before I actually played it. For starters, the game looks fantastic. The graphical style and art direction are both superb. It captures the feel of a Donkey Kong Country game really well most of the time. It's got plenty of bonus levels and extra stuff to collect and do as you go through the levels. It keeps you busy, that's for sure. There's plenty of variety in the level types. I love the levels where everything is silhouetted and you have to manuever through the whole thing with only an outline of the characters and their surroundings. For the most part, the game is really fun. Donkey Kong Country Returns wasn't afraid to try new gimmicks, although that was honestly part of my problem with the game. I didn't like some of them as much. The rocket barrel levels were the worst, and I can only imagine how bad they were with motion controls considering how utterly unresponsive those sections were without them. It was kinda dumb that you could only fully control Donkey Kong, with Diddy Kong basically acting like Clank the whole time and just providing supplementary support. That works in Ratchet & Clank, but I'm used to being able to switch between the two characters at will in DKC, so it's kind of annoying that you can't. I don't really care for all the new enemy types, and the bosses aren't very good either. I guess Nintendo couldn't use the Kremlings anymore or something, but I kinda missed them here. I saw people hyping this as the best DKC game after it came out, but I just don't see it. While it's fun a lot of the time, it definitely has problems. I haven't even finished this game yet. I got so annoyed by one section that I put it down and haven't gone back to it yet. I suppose I will before the Tropical Freeze port for the Switch comes out because I heard it improves some of the stuff I had issues with, so I'm looking forward to playing that one.
