Donkey Kong Country Returns

Date played: January 5th
Platform: Wii
Time played: 85 minutes
Session fun rating: 10/10

DKCR is simply fantastic.  Every time I play, I have a great time.  It's challenging, creative, easy to play and has great music and art.  Last night, I played the bonus levels of worlds 2 and 3.  Those are pretty difficult but once you get the timing down, the flow of the levels is perfect.

I also played about 5 levels of world 4 and it has a lot of mine carts and rocket barrels, all of which are very well made.  My girlfriend was watching me play for a bit and she would insult my gaming skills every time I died, which was pretty often.  I thought of handing her the controller but I didn't want to to waste all my lives!  :-P
Rocket Barrel MADNESS!
