there's a good game buried deep in this game's mountain of bullshit, and with the "tag anywhere" hack that lets you swap kongs instantly with the D-Pad, it's quite a bit easier to see the good shine through this game

but the framerate is still ass, collecting can sometimes be a chore, some of the minigames REALLY suck, the camera is....not good.... and oh my god it goes on forever

it doesn't deserve a lot of its flack, but then again, i don't think i would have even bothered with more than an hour of this game if it wasn't for the tag anywhere hack. if you play this game vanilla, the constant backtracking to change kongs KNEECAPS this game.
