first time i'm a little ahead of wang LOL

got the game yesterday, played about 4-5hrs and now at Map area 4. starting to use a lot of lives to get past stages ... (but still glad to have the challenge of doing so)


quick review:-

The Good
- challenging and 99.99% fair level design
- decent graphics engine with good effects. used to good effect in level design too ... backgrounds/surroundings are part of the gameplay sometimes
- some great new gameplay elements eg. rocket barrel

The not-so-great
- jumps are a little "stiffer" than previous SNES game series as i can remember (the bounce off from enemies seems a little different too). with Diddy Kong on DK's back the difference is even more pronounced. may need time to get used to it
- minimal sound effects while in stages but i guess that was to make it "mysterious" bfor the action heats up ?
