Got it on sunday but i just recently started playing (was getting through AC brotherhood haha)

But yeah, alot of fun to me, and i was scared of the fact that they might downgrade some levels to make it more easy for those casual gamers but.. it isnt the case, there are some pretty challenging levels / acheivements to do

And damn, the visuals are nice, especially on those "sunset" levels (all the mobs / objects are pitch black, you see the background, DK's shadow but his belt is red, Sin City style)

Loads of fun!

Picked it up. Since our Wii is Christmas gift for the family (primarily my son), I won't get to play it until then. It has gotten excellent reviews and I liked the original SNES game, so I have the feeling I'm going to love it.

I avoided Kirby because it was too easy. I've heard this won't be the case with DKCR.

every map has at least 1 hard level ( only done 1st world so i dunno about the others) once u beat all levels you unlock one (not quite sure on rquirements) and lets say i died a few times :P

Heh, awesome. Looking forward to playing it, most likely with my wife or son playing Diddy Kong alongside me.

I just got to start playing this game today after owning it since launch. I'm very impressed with the platforming and environments. This is a really fun game that is easy to pick up and play.

I suppose that counters my disappointment with Red Steel 2.... I'm really not liking the controls, story, or dragon's lair esque challenges where I need to click the correct buttons within a 2 second window or die instantly. Seriously, I played Dragon's Lair, and Space Ace, many years ago. I no longer have a desire to memorize input orders to survive...

you can unlock a hard mode in the game as well, which removes Diddy Kong and gives you only one life with Donkey.

My roommate quoth "WTF Challenge huh."

there are some challenging stages as well, even with the traditional game... the stages for the sphere can be a pain in the butt
