Donkey Kong 64: great game, or cheap rip-off? You decide.
First of all, let's look at the basics. The Donkey Kong series has been a sucessful franchise. The Rareware/Nintendo-created Donkey Kong Country series has been one of the best series of games on the Super Nintendo! These games (3 in all) featured extremely good graphics for the 16-bit Super Nintendo system and also had very good game-play.
Next, Rareware and Nintendo created a spin-off of the Donkey Kong Country games with a new batch of games for the Game Boy, called: Donkey Kong Land. There were 3 of these games in all and they also made a graphical leap for the Game Boy, pushing the system to its limits!
Now comes good ol' Donkey Kong in a brand new game for the N64, called: Donkey Kong 64.
This game is an entirely new spin on the DK franchise: it's the first Donkey Kong game to be completely in 3D! Every level in DK64 is designed to be a massive, free-roaming environment. The sound is also very good, with music from the original games as well as some new snazzy songs. With the required Expansion Pak, DK64 pushes the N64 to its absolute limits with graphics beyond your wildest (well... maybe not wildest) dreams!
