Donkey Kong Country 2

"As with previous outings collecting all the KONG letters and Kremcoins gives you a warm glow and if you've never played a DK game before it will introduce you to such awesome characters as Diddy, Funky and the ever-cynical Cranky (the original DK fact fans)."

"You see, DKC2 wasn't particularly revolutionary. It tried a few different things, sharpened up a few areas (controls, difficulty curve, bonus rooms) and lasted slightly longer, but it was, however enjoyable, a pretty standard example of the genre game."

"If you missed it the first time, Donkey Kong Country 2 sees Donkey Kong captive, so Diddy Kong and his girl Dixie must save the day. Diddy’s trademark roll returns, while Dixie spices up the action with a hover maneuver (similar to Tails’ ability to stay afloat for a brief period of time, of Sonic fame)."

"Donkey Kong is back, but this time he’s been kidnapped by the evil Kaptain K. Rool. Therefore, he isn’t featured as a playable character – but that’s not necessarily a bad thing; Diddy Kong and his new, female team mate, Dixie Kong, make the perfect team."

"Rare did an excellent port of Donkey Kong Country and packed it full with minigames to extend the life of the game."
