Description official descriptions

A rhythm and beat game like the popular Dance Dance Revolution game series, but instead of matching the beats with your feet you use your hands to play the bongos. Starring the characters from the Donkey Kong series of games. There are more than 30 tunes to drum beats to, from every genre of music - pop favorites to classical remixes.

Is the rhythm in you?

The Good
This is a game where you use the DK bongo drums to clap and hit your way through songs and earn coins to buy new songs and sounds for the drums. Very hard but fun. This is sort of like the Sonic Team Dreamcast and Arcade game Samba De Amigo, but with drums.

The Bad
This game is perfect, whats to hate?

The Bottom Line
This is fun, are you up to the challenge?
