DK Country Returns 3D gets a lot right, but the controls are absolutely awful and some bosses are forgettable. When it comes to controls, the jumping, dodging, and barrel rocket were all victims of poor controls. I'd often slip off a platform and die even when I didn't touch anything, the jumping and dodging were unresponsive sometimes, and the rocket steering was a nightmare. Other than the controls though, I think this game is great! The level design is very well done with a nice variety of everything. Each world has it's own unique feel to it with how these levels are made, and the platforming never felt repetitive. I liked how near the end it switched up to silhouettes which graphically looked amazing and added more to the game. The narrative is pretty good and different from the previous games. It was nice to switch it up from save this character to what they set up in here. While it controls terribly, DK Country Returns 3D is a welcome addition to this amazing franchise that I enjoyed a lot. I will try the Wii version soon though to see if the controls are better there!
