Uhm the controls are pretty good for the NES, I guess.
the fall damage is somehow even more janky in this one
I like DK Jr. with his little shirt and his warrior spirit. I also like that this is an NES game that’s short and easy. I liked this game as a kid and I like it as an adult.
Like its predecessor, Donkey Kong Jr. has interestingly varied level layouts and obstacles, but in practice I find it to be a much less enjoyable experience. Compared to Mario, DK Jr. feels worse to control, which is a kind of major problem. The single-vine vs. double-vine climbing mechanic is somewhat interesting, but not especially compelling. Donkey Kong Jr. is not necessarily a bad game, but it is nowhere near as memorable or fun as the original.
Eh
i honestly think it's a little bit better than the original donkey kong. it just feels more dynamic and varied to me, but what do i know? most of my hours in this game are from animal crossing.
This game is fine. Just doesn’t stand out too much.
My mother loves this game, so getting this is a sneaky way of getting her interested in my retro game collection.
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.
