DKC is definatly a spectacular game series. You pretty much hit the nail on the head with the comments on all 3 SNES games. The 2nd is by far my faviourte, and David Wise is an amazing composer. Everything that guy touches turns to gold (Battletoads, DKC). I was a little dissappointed with the wii version though. It wasn't bad for a little revisit for nostolgic purposes, but it lacked the magic the 1st 2 had. I would definatly place the wii version in front of DKC3 anyday of the week though.
I have to say i pretty much fully agree! DKC was a great game! DKC2 is my favorite SNES! DKC3 was kinda a drop off from the previous 2 but was still pretty good!
I also remember first playing this, being blown away by the presentation on DKC. But days later I quickly realised that the game wasn't that great. The only thing it had going for it was the graphics.
When DKC2 came out, I was pleasantly surprised that it was a much better game with a great soundtrack!
Jillpoo3 send me and I'm glad he did! Great review definitely subbed. Of course looking forward to series reviews to come. Mega Man is also one of my favorite platform games btw lol.
I used to love this series as a kid, but I think it would be awesome if you did a Donkey Kong Land review seeing how you didn't mention it at all in the review. I don't know how good the quality would be for Youtube since it was originally released on Gameboy, but I'd still love to see it. :)
great review kevin... I have to say though i loved all 3 equally and DKC3 is just as good as 1 and 2... there was nothing i didnt like about these games ... the occasional frustration that all platformers provide but besides that the series was great... excellent video kevin! looking forward to more
I love it and I also agree they are some of the best games EVER made. I think you needed a little more on DK Returns in this review of the 'series' but apart from that I enjoyed the video mate well done. Its funny as a kid I never played the 2nd and 3rd games (didnt even know the 3rd was out!) But playing them now is just amazing!
lmfao i thought so, anyways great video kevin, these games are my all time favorite trilogy and it's great to see how much appreciation others have for the games. Great video as always ( and if you ever get that petition going, i'll be the first one to sign my name :P)
I've been waiting for this for a good while. I have to admit kevin, its a very solid job. I hate the fact you put a small snipit of the hardest donkey kong country 2 level which is animal antics because that level caused me to swear quite a bit with its insane difficulty, but I've already completed two of the donkey kong country games so far. Only one more to go and then its all done.
I need to get another copy of DK3 since the one that I have doesn't work. Out of DK1, DK2, DK 64 and DK Returns that I played, DK2 is number1 in my books. DK1 stil holds nostalgia since it's the first DK game I played, but DK2 has better music, levels and bigger boss fights. My least fav is DK 64. I found that game to be boring as hell lol.
That was a really great review man!! I very much enjoyed it and even learned some too!! Now I want to play it haha!! I forgot about the Wii version, I might have to get that! You say its really hard?
I know this is blasphemous...but I could just never get into these games.......I don't hate them...I ....just don't love them. Great review never the less.
i saw this entire review. great work and i agree with DKC3. the direction was milked up the wazoo and it seemed just like a watered down rehashed version of the previous 2 games. dkc on wii is wayyyyy too hard for a casual player. too bad there is no game genie for the wii.
Also, I love the platforming. It had so many neat ideas that the other 2 games didn't have. It was more variation, really. The only thing I missed was a Mine-cart level. But it had the barrel-rocket in the special world, the level where you're being chased by a crosshair, the snowman boss fight... Actually, most of the bosses were more varied than the other 2 games. And I thought the graphics looked more lively.
Maybe I'm just blinded by nostalgia, but DKC3 is really my favourite, by far.
To be honest, I like the third game the most in the series.
Maybe it's because I played it as a kid, and therefore I've played it pretty much all my life. Unlike what other people say, I think the music is amazing! It's really atmospheric while at the same time being very melodic. Hot Pursuit, Boss Boogie and the extremely calm Water World are just a few examples. They might not be as catchy as some of the songs in the other games, but it was still the soundtrack to my childhood, pretty much.
Ahh yes, Donkey Kong Country...one of the best series ever! Even though I grew up with the N64 and Gamecube, the SNES is one of my fav systems ever and DK Country is one of my fav series on the system..and it may be the best series on the SNES! Great review, looking forward to more.

Very good retrospective! I just subscribed :)
I love the DKC series and i played the 3 SNES games many times and listen to the soundtracks countless times :)
I think that DKC 2 is the best game.
The first DKC was an outstanding technical milestone and a good game but watching it today I found his gameplay too derivative (from S.Mario World).
I really enjoyed the RPG elements and the "weird" settings of DKC3 but it has some moments of boring gameplay.
I really need to play DKC Returns!
