Not terrible, but feels like a gimmick more than an actual racing game

THIS GAME IS UNDERRATED AS FUCK I WILL 1V1 ANYONE WHO DISAGREES

monkey kong has sex in this one


After an hour or so of playing my arms got really sore for a couple of days and I've never gotten psychically affected by a game like that ever

I'm gonna say it; I wish this released on the GameCube as a DK Bongo game as original planned.

Interesting idea with some DKC charm and great visuals. However, it has everything else going against it. From the anti-fun controls to the linear and boring racetracks, and from the uninteresting gameplay to the fact that it has NO ONLINE MODE AT ALL, there is little to gain from playing this.

Boring, repetitive, and tiring. A gimmick game.

It's called "Jet Race" in my country but that doesn't really make the game any better.

A very below standard "kart racer" that you need to shake the wii mote to move. The tracks might as well all be the same since they are on rails. The character roster is baffling with a lot of DK characters they just ignore. This needed to be on the gamecube with the bongo controllers, but it still would have sucked ass with it anyway.

Not sure why this game is held in such low regard, its honestly a rather interesting racing game. It's not the greatest thing I've ever played, but it's certainly not horrible. There's a bunch of shoehorned in motion controls so your arms/wrists will really be hurtin once you are done, but other than that its an interesting little racer where you move along a path and crash into things to earn points that you can spend on boosts which you can chain together by crashing into more things. There are some good ideas here that could have been fleshed out a bit more but i guess it is what it is. I'd say if you are interested its worth giving it a try and not to let the constant negative reviews dissuade you from giving it that shot.

It's a completely pointless game. It does nothing special at all, the track designs are repetitive, and the music is horribly forgettable. Also it makes my arms hurt after a while. The best thing that came from this game was the Scott the Woz episode, which I'm assuming you've seen if you're checking out this game...

Um dos piores jogos de corrida que já joguei, mecânica irregular, poucos mapas e gráficos abaixo da média, pelo menos tem um rol decente de personagens jogáveis.

This game could've been a below average kart racer, if only it had used any other controller. Shaking the Wiimote and Num-chuks gets old (and tiring) fast, and doesn't work as well as even the DK Bongos would've. A regular controller would be the best option there. The gameplay itself is sloppy and messy, though there are interesting aspects to it, and the tracks look nice enough. Again, it could've been below average but alas.

Lost my virginity because of it. Worst game.

Boy they really did put anything on the Wii didn't they

Mario Kart if it was good

my copy of barrel blast has very weirdly discolored box art. like the only colors they had at the factory were blue and pink

estoy muy ocupado follando para darle 2 estrellas

Not bad. There's a solid core, even if the game never fully comes together outside of Temple Heights and most of Candy's Missions (those "Avoid All Obstacles" missions can update their home to the death barrier). Character picks are fun, and the Kremling OCs are great - wish they existed in more than this. It feels like there's a phantom game after the Kongas/Jungle Beat that should justify this game's existence; the state of Donkey Kong as a franchise in 2007 definitely didn't support a racing spin-off like this. But it's not bad.

As a child, our former pastor and his wife came over to visit, and brought some Wii games, including this one. My brother and I tried it, but didn't have much fun, and made no plans to secure our own copy. I will not be returning to this game.
