Una secuela con un enfoque ciertamente distinto pese a repetir el esquema de diseño del juego original, pero que sustancialmente tiene un tanto más de profundidad gracias a sus controles y diseño un tanto más trabajado.

I prefer the movement in this game to the original Donkey Kong, it's just a lot faster, and I think the way they expanded upon the climbing mechanics from the first was greatly appreciated. The 2nd level and 4th are probably the most intriguing in that respect, and I especially like the twist on DK's last level in this game. Sort of ironic, but I feel due to the fact it's much smoother to control, you kind of lose some of the charm and tension of the original because of that fact, and in general I just find it way easier than it's predecessor in both handling and level design.. but that's not exactly a bad thing.
It still has some of the weirdness of the first but you kind of just get used to it after dying like twice.

Man, Donkey Kong Jr. is tough! Sure, it's fun to swing around as DK's kid and grab those keys, but those birds and sparks are out to get you. I feel bad for the old man trapped in that cage, but I dunno if I've got the skills to make it through all those levels.

Donkey Kong but in reverse with new mechanics
