This game is VERY similar to old Donkey Kong Country games. But I haven't played any, so keep that in mind.

This is a great sidescrolling platformer, with tight controls, great visuals and a sweet soundtrack.
Gameplay is very fluid and responsive, and the 4 masks add some fun variations to the base gameplay.

Worlds and levels have very strong themes, present in the visuals and level design. Every level has tons of collectibles to please completionists, and although it is possible to gather all of them on the first run through a level, most likely you will be revisiting some of them to find stuff you missed.

Bosses are neat, especially the last one which is just visually stunning.

My only complaints would be that the story is pretty shallow and could be explored some more, and some level sections are very difficult, requiring lots of retries.

Overall, very solid game, and fans of DKC will certainly love it.
