This game's kinda weird for me - It has an earnest feel to it that I can't really resist, but the game itself is a below-average plaformer. Not nearly as bad as many make it out to be, but overall kinda meh.
Honestly, the scariest the franchise has ever been. A lot of that scare factor is lost once you learn how to handle the admitedly simple AI, sure, but this is still one of my favorites in the franchise.
Was kinda surprised to see this game ranked so low; It's honestly my favorite out of the original DK trilogy. I get the departure from the previous two games feeling off, but this one still stands well on its own merits.
