Donkey Kong: Tropical Freeze's addition of Funky Mode makes it more accessible without reducing the formidable platforming difficulty to a walk in the park. There's still a lot of challenge, even with the extra help Donkey's Funky uncle affords. But the S...
Abstract: The attention to detail in the animation and graphics is superb – Donkey Kong's hair, blowing in the wind, uses the graphic processing power of the Wii U in a way that adds character and charm to the game.The music is a rare example of excellence and only...

One of the most rewarding 2D platform games in many years, graphics are sumptuous, cunningly difficult, retains that retro Nintendo feel
Co-op multiplayer is great for a giggle but not as focused as single-player, difficulty could alienate some less tolerant gamers
As a gameplay style, 2D platforming has been given major boosts by Ubisoft's most recent Rayman games and a stack of indie titles, but Donkey Kong Country: Tropical Freeze tops the lot in our eyes. It retains many of the essential elements from past...

Lovely CGI cartoon graphics, Lengthy and challenging, Slick, well-paced and consistently entertaining
Rarely feels inventive or inspired, Camera in co-op is awful, Bosses may cause game rage
Donkey Kong's latest adventure is a slick, good-looking and demanding 2D platformer that works like a trooper to keep you entertained. It's not that imaginative, inventive, original or quirky, though, and after New Super Mario Bros U or the superb Rayman...

Delightful on the eyes and full of animated character, Difficult platforming that's supremely gratifying to master, David Wise soundtrack is delicious
Ill-advised checkpoint placement makes the game frustrating rather than difficult, Annoying bosses

Looks great in 1080p 60FPS, Challenging and rewarding, Loads of secrets promote replayability
Not worthwhile for anyone who played it on Wii U
It's a shame, but like many Wii U ports that have popped up on Switch, this is an incredibly high-quality title that frankly doesn't give players enough of a reason to play it again. If you never played this game before and never owned a Wii U then it's a...
