I heard Gadzooks say that in the "Games that suck" thread but it's not true. As far as gameplay goes Donkey Kong Country 3 is identical to the first two except for the inclusion of the boat you use to go from one area to the next which is actually awesome, especially once you get the cannon on it. I've never spent so much time in a game looking for secret areas.

Well, my opinions are the closest thing to the truth. If you found stupid shit like that fun, King Hadas, you should try JAWS for the NES. It doesn't help that all the levels in the game are boring re-hashes from the previous two games either. And who in their right mind wants to play as a baby? Not even a 5 year old would.

Donkey Kong Country 3 sucks and so do it's fans.

Re-hash? How far did you even play into the game, did you even get past the first area or were you so disgusted at the prospect of playing as an infant that you just couldn't stomach it any longer. Donkey Kong Country 3 is just as good as the first two in fact I'd go as far to say it's better than the first two.

Yes there was a Canyon Level, an ICE LEVEL , and oh god! A Factory Level!

Donkey Kong Country 3 might be fun for the littlest of children, but for an ADULT like Supafly, it's not going to cut shit. You play the first two and it might be fun, but the lack of changes in 3 just makes it repetitive and boring to play. It's the exact same game but with a baby. BUT THE BOAT, OH GOD THE BOAT! IT'S SO FUCKING FUNNNNNN!

You are such a punk, King Hadas. God help us if you make it through purgatory.

I'd better recommend Supa an Snes game before I get back to arguing with Gadzooks. U.N. Squadron is an excellant shoot-em-up game that you probably haven't heard of.

The Boat IS pretty awesome, not only does it add a very small level of non-linearity but it also gives you something to do outside of platfoming, finding bannana bird caves and collecting items for the Bazooka Bear brothers is fun.

As for the re-hash bit, who gives a fuck if some of the level backgrounds are similar to past games, the level designs themselves ARE original and that's what's important and I don't just mean they decided to have a barrel shooting area with yellow hornets rather then red ones. Anyone whose played Donkey Kong Country knows that the majority of the levels have some goofy function that's mostly exclusive to that level (racing up a tree that being cut down by a giant buzzsaw, riding minecarts, swimming backwards in poisionous sewage water). That's mostly why I've liked the series and DKC3 fully delivers in that department.
