I played several Donkey Kong games during the years, especially on Game Boy. Unfortunately the art style put me off on this one, as well as the control, as weird as this sounds. The controls are very good, however the mechanics with rolling, grabbing and the variety of partners (Dixie is the best) as well as the button placement was too uncomfortable. But the art style, I don't know, the penguins and enemies, the whole "freeze" topic was putting me so much off. I only got to World 5 and didn't feel like continuing, although I'm up for challenging games.
