Donkey Kong Country: Tropical Freeze is a mostly well-designed and often gorgeous platformer, with an unfortunate bout of second-finisher syndrome. While it is undoubtedly better in most respects than Donkey Kong Country Returns, that game spent its goodwill as a nostalgic throwback. Tropical Freeze is left suffering many of the same weaknesses, but without the sheen of a comeback story to set it apart.

There's something about Donkey Kong Country: Tropical Freeze that's just a little off. Maybe it's the way Donkey Kong doesn't quite land with the firm-footedness you'd expect from a Nintendo platforming mascot. Maybe it's because, despite the introduction of the likes of Dixie Kong and Cranky Kong as playable characters with new abilities, Tropical Freeze's levels see little in the way of new challenges or designs to accommodate them.

Hard to believe its been three and an half years since Donkey Kong Country Returns landed on the Wii. As gorgeous as DKCRs 60 frames per second presentation was, it was screaming for a platform that could handle something north of 480p. And hence, in all its 720p glory, Donkey Kong Country: Tropical Freeze was born, adhering closely to the very same principles that made DKC2 for the SNES a success in the wake of its classic predecessor.

Were in an era of 2D platformers when it comes to Nintendo, whether you like that fact or not. It started with games like New Super Mario Bros., Kirbys Epic Yarn, Donkey Kong Country Returns and Kirbys Return to Dreamland.

Just four days before the new Donkey Kong Country game in stores. Are these new Wii game to give the console a real push in the right direction or is the game especially in his own nostalgia?

"When Nintendo announced Donkey Kong Country: Tropical Freeze as a follow-up to Retro Studios Donkey Kong Country Returns at last years E3, some fans felt bummed that it wasnt the developers glorious return to the Metroid Prime series. I think theyll be singing a different tune once they start playing the game. Theres no monkey business behind it; the games style and feel are largely the same as its 2010 predecessor. Youre still ground-pounding, rolling, shooting out of barrels and collecting bananas and coins. Nevertheless, there are a number of improvements that are readily apparent in this Wii U sequel, and Cranky Kongs celebrated reveal is only a small slice of the proverbial banana." - Patrick Kulikowski

An expert blend of spectacle, set-pieces and platforming.
Donkey Kong Country Tropical Freeze is the Uncharted of side-scrolling platform games. That's not because it can boast at least one ex-Naughty Dog staffer among its artists, but because the two games are equally committed to placing their heroes in the gravest peril with alarming regularity. Both, too, share a similar appetite for destruction and hair's-breadth escapes. You've heard of the spectacle shooter, now it's time to give a big, gorilla-sized hand for the spectacle platformer.
