Donkey Kong Country (Game Boy Advance, 2003)

Donkey Kong Country for the GBA is an almost direct port to the GBA from the golden days of Nintendo. They did make a few changes. Some for the good some for the worse. The good: graphics remain mainly unchanged, gameplay and story the same, item locations the same, some new items to locate, a trip in time for younger gamers. The bad: The music and lighting. To explain this anyone who has played the old SNES version will notice this right away, the armadillo noise isn't the same. To some this may not bother them. It bothers me. Also in the raining stages, its now like raining in the sunlight, not dark like the older version. Also the music has a much happier tone to it. It sounds someone over did it with the treble. When DK loses his bananas in the beginning it should not sound like a good thing. This is a great mobile version of the classic but if you want to truly experience the greatness of this game, I really suggest playing the original SNES version.
