I'm into the DKC2, awesome soundtrack, the graphics were a little bit better. The boss fights finally became challenging, and there was an ass load of stuff to do. And if you were like me as a kid, you did it all

DKC was just crap, and DKC3 was dull. DKC2 did everything right, and was an awesome game.

DKC2 is definitely the best of the three.

I liked them all about equally, but DKC3 was a little different from the first two.

DKC2 definitely provided to be the most challenging of the 3, but I just enjoyed the Jungle Island / Caverns / Mines / Snow Mountains / Toxic Wasteland theme that the first brought. And, you could play as Donkey Kong himself.

But I own all of them, and they're all great. Probably my 3rd pick of best sidescrolling adventure series next to Mario and Sonic games.

I picked DKC2. I had all three, but one was blah and three was just too non-dk. Kiddy Kong ruined the pattern of DK names.

Donkey Kong Country 2 is my pick. Its one of my favorite 2d platforming games of all time.

I thought DKC was great. It was the only one in the series I ever got everything on, and I did it all myself, no cheatcodes or anything. That was big for me, I was a little kid back then. As a matter of fact, Donkey Kong Country was the first video game I ever actually beat by myself as a child.

It's extremely far from "blah", that's for sure. And DKC2 kinda irritated me, the music was amazing, but it wasn't my kind of music. If anything it creeped me out.

And no matter what, in every DKC game, swimming levels were NOT done right. I hated them.

WHAT!?

The swimming levels were my FAVOURITE! I always replayed those endlessly Hell, I just got off playing the first one, right now. I love it.

Yeah, the swimming levels were fine.

In each of the DKC games they rocked out with an awesome theme.

Anyone agree to me that Rare totally f*cked up Donkey Kong 64? That game was horrendous, I had high hopes for it expecting a good series being brought into the 3D world like Mario 64 ... but it completely failed.

I wish Nintendo would release a Donkey Kong Game just like the DKC series. Or maybe just a collection of the three with more features. But if they change the graphics just a bit, it will screw up the whole look of the game.

I liked DK64, but it could have been 412% better. It wasn't DK enough, I just thought of it as a monkey game.

DK64, no matter what my friends said, was a let down.

Boring bosses (although the last couple were kind of interesting). And I didn't like the weapons, made it feel to superficial. Plus, it was damned easy.

While I enjoyed playing all three of those games, I enjoyed DKC2 the most because of the following reasons:

(1) The first game to implement the gold DK coin and bonus coins. You had to collect all of these coins to beat the bonus world and get different message from Cranky Kong.

(2) The music especially in the Bramble, Swamp, and Beehive levels were my favorite. The highbeat dance song from the roller coaster levels was also pretty good too.

(3) The use of Dixie Kong's hair to float to certain platforms to get hard-to-reach DK coins and bonus coins. Although required in most areas to get them, it was just a cool feature to add.

(4) You could actually become the animals in this game. I think they knew they had a good thing going there when they touched on it a little bit in the first game and used the animals for the bonus levels.

I could go on and on about what made this game great, but I think the above 4 things pretty much covers it.

The only DKC game I ever played was the first one. Did I miss out on some really awesome game(s)?

Definitely, looking at this thread as an example as you can, nearly everyone who's played them has no complaints.

And like I said before, I'd rank this series up with the old Super Mario Bros / World, and Sonic the Hedgehog games.

How the fuck can anyone call the first DKC "crap"? That's absurd!

I give DKC a 9.5, and DKC2 a solid 10. It's my second favorite game, right after Yoshi's Island. DKC3 is a very fun game, but I'm kind of appalled by a lot of the music and the character designs. It's quite a decline in aesthetic greatness...

haha yeah I agree with DKC3 music. What the hell were they thinking with that harbor type music in the first levels? The game itself felt rushed and half assed riding on the DK name for its success.

DKC: First game, good game, not best one though. Felt too basic, as all you had were a roll, a jump, running, and throwing things. Good music, though, which has been one of the best parts of the series.

DKC2: ARGH! DAMN IT! ~My reaction when I played on an SNES. One of the few games that I do better at on an emulator, even without savestates. Best music in the series overall, and the hardest game in the series too.

DKC3: Music is a mixed bag, with the horrendous Harbor music and the excellent Waterfall music, not to mention the REALLY annoying music in that rocket level. (Lost World level, if you're confused) Overall level designs were pretty good, but item collecting seemed a little odd. The coins I have no problem with, as they're in level and you can just grab 'em as you go. But the items you get from bosses that you have to take back to Funky or one of those damn bears... argh, it just felt like a waste of time.


My favorite's probably DKC2, though I do still enjoy all three games. It's unfortunate that the music in DKC3 was such a mixed bag (at best), and the item collection crap got added...
