Great game, hated that you HAD to beat both the donkey kong and jetpack arcade games in order to get the 2 coins so you could get to the final boss.

I never got to the final boss fight, saw vids though. Wanted to fight K. Rool in that boxing ring but never got a chance to.

One of the best platformers. Great levels, humor, characters, gameplay, music, boss fights, a bunch of stuff to collect, multiplayer, mini-games and just :ahh:

Why Nintendo doesn't have this on the virtual console is beyond me.

there are other ways to get it

but yeah it was a dope ass game and pretty big, the levels were pretty fun too. one thing though, the graphics weren't really groundbreaking like DKC was. aside from that though it was dope.

"Too little too late" is the best way to describe what happen with this game.

Had it been released after Mario 64 and before Banjo-Kazooie, it would've been up there as one of the memorable ones of that era. But by time it came out, the N64 was on its way out and it got overlooked....not to mention B-K stole its shine.

Very good game tho.

:manny:

I remember when I finally beat this shyt I was like :krs: times 10. I had spent weeks on that fukking fake K. Rool boss b/c I had no idea how to hit him once I knocked both of his arms off.

After that? the real K. Rool was a cinch...

DK64?

Stretched out for the sake of stretching out, way too many tedious tasks, too many barrel minigames with absolutely atrocious and frustrating camera angles.


Nah, can't co-sign this at all. Game was very, very average. Tried to do way too much and the good parts aren't really that good.

Rare was on fire durin the N64 era, they practically could do no wrong.
Perfect Dark ?
Conker ?
Banjo Kazooie ?
Donkey Kong ?

And not only were their games good they continously pushed the n64, stuff they were doing in
Conkers Bad Fur Day and Perfect Dark was pretty damn impressive.

Real talky they should put that game and upgrade the graphics and make it for 3DS. It was a really good game even if it was a super collectathon.
