Overall a job well done, even though the game may miss that authentic Donkey Kong feel.Īs mentioned earlier the game is a platformer, and a decent one. The overal sfx aren’t too shabby either and they don’t get annoying after playing the game for some time. The music is still very enjoyable and some of the tunes will surely wander around in your head for quite some time. The stages and all the characters (as mentioned earlier) look detailed, colorful and appealing.ĭonkey Kong Jungle Beat’s soundtrack is a decent one but it lacks the quality of the soundtracks we came to love from the previous titles. In certain combat scenes when taking a closer look to the enemies or DK himself, you see that the game was developed to fully use the console’s capacities. Overall the game may look simple but it is actually quite detailed for a game that was released for the previous generation of consoles. What the game lacked in story it makes up in its appearance. Of course like all other Donkey Kong games you can have a decent amount of fun, without actually having a decent plot to work with. I honestly have no clue what the real story of the game is, and if there is any. How appealing this game may look, the story value is very very low. This was the first platforming Donkey Kong game in years, but its unique character was defined by its unique controlling method, namely the DK Bongo.

Donkey Kong Jungle Beat was released for the Nintendo Gamecube in 2005 and was ofcourse a console exclusive.
