Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest

The graphics look slightly more detailed, if that's even possible, and the explosions are noticeably better. When Diddy completes a stage, he does a rapper impression that made me laugh out loud. If you enjoyed the original Donkey Kong Country, you'll flip over this excellent follow-up.

Easily the best SNES game this year, Diddy's Kong-Quest is one we suggest you give a try. This game will make a monkey out of the most-experienced players.

If you enjoyed DKC1 and are craving some more of that Rareware goodness, than DKC2 is just what you're looking for. DKC2 is packed with tons more new enemies, features, and collectibles to satisfy you with, and it is very easy to pick up without having played the original. Once again, DKC2 is another visual and audio masterpiece from Rare filled with challenging and entertaining gameplay.

Diddy's back - and he's got a girlfriend! This game is even better than the original DKC! This title is more fun than a barrel of monkeys! Yow!!!

En definitiva si te gustan los plataformas, se trata de un imprescindible del sistema, otro de los juegos que hicieron crecer la leyenda de Rare, aunque aún quedaría por llegar la mejor entrega de todas DKC 3, el tercer cartucho de la serie de 32 megas, al igual que sus predecesores, aunque es otra historia y deberá ser contada en otro momento.

Reléguant presque son précurseur au titre de jeu sans grand intérêt, Donkey Kong Country II : Diddy's Kong Quest illumine complètement la Super Nintendo de son aura. Beau, long, complexe, fun et possédant une bande-son mémorable, ce titre se classe définitivement parmi les meilleurs jeux de plates-formes.

In overall fun, DKC 2 is winner. Not only is it an all around great platformer, but the quality that Rare put into it makes it a real classic. The only thing that keeps this game from recieving a perfect score is that it shares so much with DKC. For players looking for something completely different from the original, you're not going to find it here.

I thought this game was longer, harder and more enjoyable than the fantastic original. If you haven't gotten totally jaded on platformers, I don't even have to tell you to watch out for this game. This is unless you haven't finished Yoshi's Island.

If you love action-platformer games then Donkey Kong Country 2 is a no-brainer. There is a strong chance that you've already played the remake/ port on GBA so you may already know how it plays. Consequently, it's easy to recommend spending cash on this to anyone who enjoys the genre. Who doesn't love blasting out of barrels and collecting bananas?

DKC2 demonstrates what sequels should be all about. The game not only carried over the same look and feel of the original, but it also adding a new character and more challenging levels. The graphics are on par with the first release, while game depth and originality have skyrocketed. Keeping the same pirate theme throughout the levels while making each diverse and unique deserves commendation. DKC2 will undoubtedly to be the hottest 16-Bit title holiday season.

Donkey Kong Country 2 is a perfect example of gaming at its best, the game is still highly enjoyable even today and if you have never played it before, you know what to do.

But as it stands, it shouldn’t be that surprising since Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy’s Kong Quest fails to adequately correct any of the issues that faulted its predecessor. The original’s charm and graphical innovation has given way to half-hearted changes in design and mechanics. This certainly isn’t a bad game – it’s quite mediocre – but I’ve never been fond of this sequel. I’ve always disliked this title’s aesthetics as they’ve never appealed to me despite the lengthy amount of time it has spent in my collection. As a youth, I was able to get lost in the ephemeral beauty that that the original Donkey Kong Country provided. The same did not happen here. If I want to play a great SNES platformer, I’ll stick with Mario and Luigi, not Donkey and Diddy, and certainly not Diddy and Dixie.
