Not exactly.  I was a die-hard fan of Donkey Kong Country when it came out for the SNES, and I had hoped that this game would be a re-release of the same game for new fans to enjoy.

It's not.

This is why, more or less, the grade is so low.  I loved that old SNES game to death.  I think I may have loved it a little TOO much, however, because I waited several days before actually entering my name to play it.  Why?  Because although I turned the game on the very first day, the absence of that wonderful image of Cranky with the phonograph made me realize I wasn't back in Kansas, so to speak.

Yes, you may get some kicks out of this game if you're a new gamer.  Yes, you may find it amusing if you were a casual fan of the original, but for an orthadox Kong-aholic like me, I just don't reccomend it.
