Stop leaving positive reviews for this game.  It'll just make me miserable over something I can't have.

My brother and I beat it. Yes, definitely a cool, worthy follow-up to a classic series, and another home-run for Retro.

The final boss was a little bit of a letdown, though... but the cutscene that followed made up for it.

You would hate it anyway. You blamed the original trilogy's difficulty on so-called faulty control, and Retro retained the same type of control but with some extra waggle. I'm sure you'd probably think the difficulty is too complex and alienating towards real skill.
As a game that requires six friends, an HDTV, and skill, I can see why the majority of TMK is going to hate on it hard.

???

When did I blame the controls for anything?  I seem to recall blaming the mixture of pre-rendered sprites and static backgrounds for making it hard to judge collisions, but not the controls.

Just to clarify, the reason I haven't talked about this on the forum is because I've been too busy playing it to death. :P

Seems more like you were too busy being self-conscious and talking about ideas that will never happen, but it could just be me popping into the chats at the wrong moments.

That's still blaming the game to me. Plus this game has some pretty dynamic backgrounds, so if you get easily distracted this game will eat you alive.

Like Munchers Marathon for example. Friggin spider babbys covering the screen and chasing your tail all over the level. It's one of my favorite levels but a pain to 100% because you seriously need to outrun the spiders and then turn around to get the puzzle pieces and KONG letters. It's literally bananas.

Very fun game.  Me and a buddy are currently trying to beat it at 100% (or whatever odd number they're using this time).
I always figured "Time to tip the scales" was Wario's everyday motto.

I guess this is kind of a bump, but ESCUCHA-ME? DKC was great. DKC2 and 3 were okay, but DKC the original...DKCR's okay, but...

I don't get it, what's so amazing about this one? It's good, sure, but everyone's raving about it...
