When rare started to make a dk country triligy back in the early 90's it had such state of the art graphics and excelent gameplay that donkey kong country was the game every one wanted, infact i remember the day i spent my £54.99 getting the first game but the sequals cant match the original can they?.With each sequal of the country series the games got better, unforchantly by the time dkc3 came out so had the n64 and ps1 so not many people got to play the game, i got it on my snes about a year ago and i rate it higher than any other 2d platformer. the world is massive there is probably about 60-70 levels set in such locations as woodlands,mountains,volcanos,snow areas etc. Each area of levels has its own theme like the mountain levels have lots of rope climbing and dangerious jumps throw in a few bees that try to kill you and the levels are total madness that require the upmost skill to compleate.
for anyone that likes platformers such as sonic,mario,crash bandicoot or any of the previous dkc titles this must be top of your to buy list because it is probably the best platformer ever.
