I had a decent bit of fun still, but overall the game was just not as interesting as the first two. I enjoyed the bosses more than the ones from the first two, and I actually think the final boss is better than the one in the others. I felt like it didn't take years to master each step of the fight like it was for 2, and it had more depth than the fight in 1. But the levels themselves just were less enjoyable. They were easy and fun to breeze through, but I actually wish they were a bit harder (which I'm surprised I'd be asking for that after 2's difficulty annoying me so much towards the end). I do think I enjoyed the buddies more in this one, especially the levels dedicated to them. I also think that Dixie and Kiddy are the best-feeling team of the three. Donkey and Diddy didnt have much to separate them, and I almost never felt inclined to use the pair-up feature in DKC2. In this one there's actually a decent difference depending on who uses it, and it ends up being pretty nice overall. So definitely not a bad game at all, but I just felt like a lot of the levels felt way too easy most of the time, and they felt less inspired than the ones from DKC and DKC2.
