Review Approach:

I love this game so much. I beat it a few years ago and it's just one of the best things ever created.
Donkey Kong Country Returns is a Wii platformer where you get bananas and beat up the guys who steal your bananas
This game gets a 10/10 from me. For starters, the graphics are so amazing. It even surpasses many Wii U games in terms of appearance.
The levels are difficult but not in a cheap way. They are just hard enough to challenge the player, and separate real gamers from noobs.
One of the most critically acclaimed aspects of Donkey Kong Country Returns (and personally one of my favorite parts) is getting to grab a lot of bananas. They are everywhere, and you will be rewarded handsomely for collecting an abundance of these delicious yellow fruits.

Playing as Donkey Kong is awesome due to how strong he is. He harbors many moves along with his partner, Diddy Kong!
If you have a friend to play with you, (consider yourself lucky for having a friend XD), they will be delighted to play as Diddy Kong becuase unlike other monkeys, he is equipped with a jetpack. He can glide in the air shortly which can make levels a lot easier.

Overall, Donkey Kong Country Returns is fun, challenging, and an experience that every Wii owner must try.

Overall

One of the best games ever made and another shining star on DK's record.
I purely went to find this because, Y'know, Funny Monkey
But the game honestly is very good, And in any of the wii games, Graphics were welcome to improve, And it was a nice refresher on what Donkey Kong as an IP can be if used properly, Despite my undying love for the first 2 as I refuse to acknowledge the third exists.

  • Veho @ Veho:
    There was a comparison of the number of Ibuprofen poisonings before and after they limited the maximum dosage per box or per pill (i'll look that up). No limit on the number of boxes you can still buy as many as you want, so people argued it was pointless.
  • Veho @ Veho:
    But the number of (accidental) poisonings dropped because drinking an entire package of ibuprofen pills went from "I need a new liver" to "I need a new box of Ibuprofen".
  • Veho @ Veho:
    Here we have ketoprofen that used to be prescription-only because of the risk of toxic dosages, but then they halved the dose per pill and sell them in bottles of six pills apiece instead of twenty and it doesn't need a prescription any more. Yes you can buy more than one bottle but people simply don't.
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    Usually accidentally overdose of ibuprofen here is from people taking like cold medicine then ibuprofen for a headache and the combination is over what they need
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    Toxic pills are best
