Haven't played this one in a while but I remember it being very good! That's all I really have to say about it gameplay-wise, each minigame progresses in difficulty in a natural way when you reach a new league and the game can be very pretty at times. I might as well use this review to mention the music of the series because this is where the game starts to shine and it's one of the best parts of the early games. There weren't that many tracks in Duck Life 1 and 2, but they were servicable enough as ways to get you pumped up for the game. In Duck Life 3, London and the Easter Islands give off vibes appropiate to that location while still staying distinct from each other. The biggest draw is the lack of a training theme, but the songs more than make up for it. It all leads up to the final race, which is simply epic from the music that melds the main theme and the race theme (something that only appears in the early game) to you being involved in the race by shooting down domos, to how the evolution concept built up to this moment, It's no secret why this game has become a fan favorite. Its just held back by how its the same 4 minigames fundamentally even if they're all very fun.
