GameCube Donkey Konga 2 w/Bongos review:5 stars (This is an AWSOME game!!) - This game is great!!!!!
I recomend this game to any parent who is buying a gamecube for their kids this holiday season. The game comes with a set of bongos. On the bongos there is of coarse a right and left bongo and suprisingly also a clap sensor. This game is also excellent in teaching your kids how to play the bongos in a way. This game is REALLY fun. I recomend it for children over the age of 6 or 7.4 stars (not bad, could be even better) - This game is not bad. you beat LEFT, RIGHT, BOTH, CLAP according to the music notes that scroll across the screen.
however, for some songs, the beat of the song doesn't match that of the appearing note, even for the simple level. on the difficult level, the notes come out just too fast and you can't even match that to the tempo, not to mention you have to match the LEFT/RIGHT/BOTH/CLAP. can you do 5 or 6 LEFT/RIGHT/BOTH/CLAP within 2, 3 seconds without mistake? to me, maybe that's possible if the notes is memorized... but is this a game about memorization?
also, this game could improve by setting a mode that a "star" comes out instead of the LEFT/RIGHT/BOTH/CLAP, and with the star you can do LEFT/RIGHT/BOTH/CLAP and it still count as a "match". that way, it can be simpler and it can work like the taiko drum master on ps2.
4 stars (Simple, yet surprisingly fun.) - I was hesitant to pick this game, since I had played it just a bit before. I bought the Donkey Konga 2 pack, with the bongos. I played it, and loved it. The soundtrack isn't the best (from what I hear, Donkey Konga has a better one), but some of the songs on it are actually quite good. There should be a introduction to the game though, to teach users which color equals what button. I've had a blast with this game, and am still trying to beat some of the tougher Gorilla remixes. I'd recommend this to anyone who has some resemblence of a beat. |
