Cons: those little buttons can hurt your fingers after awhile. ouch!

Pros: You will never get bored of it.
Cons: I have none.

This game is amazing!

PLOT: You are a gorilla. You have to swing around and kill creatures. [Don't worry, it's not violent] Make it to the exit and you will receive a new level.

2 AND 1 PLAYERS: At the beginning you will decide if you want to play with 2 players or 1 player. If you decide to play with 2 players you take turns playing with D.K or Diddy. If you play with 1 player you are 1 only D.K.

IMPORTANT: Read the manual before playing, it really helps you during the game.

GOODIES: The game is challenging and easy, in other words it is not too hard, not too easy.

MORE GOODIES: You never get bored of it, even if you can't beat the levels. The only exception in if you are a inpatient person and you start taking a real spaz.

ANIMATION: The animation is great! It really helps you concentrate and enjoy the game more.

MY RECOMMENDATION: Buy the game because it is really fun and it passes of time.
