Varied and pleasantly challenging!

I have previously played no more Donkey Kong title and I am glad that there are alternatives to the Mario games. These are launched at ever shorter intervals, and appear, in spite of new ideas, to have lost the luster and charm of yesteryear. Particularly the difficulty has been partially lowered to kindergarten level.

Now to "Donkey Kong Country Returns": to me as the first of the 3-D effect and the graphic made a positive impression. The levels are lovingly decorated and the 3D effect is, unlike New Super Mario Bros. 2, have been used much impressive and meaningful. Especially on the 3DS XL comes the three-dimensional depth very good effect! The difficulty is pleasantly challenging and can now be determined by the player, which I think is a good idea. Through various game elements, like the Lore, the rocket, the rhinoceros, the boss and so, the game offers a lot of variety. And even the normal levels differ and are designed interesting. In addition to the eight worlds that already gave it in the Wii version, a new world has been added (The Golden Temple), which picks up all the themes of the eight worlds again.

Conclusion: Donkey Kong Country Returns is a great alternative to the Mario games and directed (even on easy mode) to the more experienced players. The scope is great and anyone who has the desire for a varied platformer adventure and has previous not been played, can be safely accessed. :)
