I love this game! This is the best Sonic game since SA2! I love the music, atmosphere but most importantly the actual gameplay itself! There are no terrible control issues or weird camera's, it all just works - and really well! Some of the level designs are amazing and I love Dr Eggmans random voice overs that play in the background every now and then. Highlight so far - ROCKET WISP!!

I might have over reacted slightly but when key elements of a series are omitted it annoys me. Like I said before, I'm not saying it's going to be a bad game, it actually looks quite good, but to have Country in the name and to miss out so many key features of the original games is crazy. Here's a comparison, there are no Kremlins, K Rool or underwater levels and there are also hardly any animal buddies returning. That would be like if New Super Mario Bros. didn't have Goomas, Yoshi, Bowser or under water levels - It wouldn't make it a bad game but it would take away a lot of the Mario feel. I'm just going to stop though, before I get flamed more :p

It's not a DKC game, the lack of Kremlins and Kongs prove that, it's far more targeted towards new gamers than the fans of the originals. I'm still going to try my hardest to enjoy it and try not to be such a Rare fan boy but to have Country in the name and not have many of the features that made it great in the first place is stupid, it should be under another name to show it's different direction, like Jungle Beat. And I was hoping for much more from the music, from what I've heard on YouTube the songs are pretty uninspired midi's of the originals and after hearing the great songs on Brawl, it's a huge disappointment. But I was always going to be far more harsh on this than most, I'm as bad as those Sonic fan boys.

Hey guys, I recently started writing a blog for the website Joystick Junkies - A fashion label based around retro video games! The blog mainly features artistic and quirky things surrounding classic video games and I'd like to know what you guys think of it, what you like/dislike and how I could improve it! I've been doing the blog for just over a week now and do 1 or 2 posts a day! So here's my page: http://joystickjunkies.com/author/joshuaphillips/ Also if you've made or seen anything interesting that you think should be featured in the blog then tell me

I was never a big fan, Busted is where it's at ;D I've only ever heard them played on the radio countless times though, I've not listened to an entire album so maybe I shouldn't judge

DKC2 is actually my favourite SNES game and one of my favourite games of all time for the great controls, fantastic atmosphere and brilliant music. It's what got me into gaming and why I regard DK and Rareware so highly. As much as I'm looking forward to this game it doesn't excite me all that much, many of the original characters won't be returning and the music is hugely dissapointing for one. I've played a demo version at the eurogamer expo and the controls aren't as tight as the original

THE MUSIC IN THE TRAILER IS EPIC! I'm so pumped for this game right now!!

Get it! It's one of my favourite games this generation!

Seconded!!

BULBA! I have lovingly sported part of my bulbasaur outfit to all of you, on the day (2 days away is when I go to my party) I will be wearing all green, a green back pack and a plant to stick inside the backpack, I'm gonna look so cool, I would have done it all today but in fear of spoiling the plant before the day I will keep it safe and sound on my desk.

I agree with Rez, DKC2 is where it's at! The latest video has got me pumped for this game even though I don't think it 'flows' too well, I loved being able to cartwheel through rows of enemies one after another or jump off one to the next and take them all out without touching the floor but - despite the obvious gameplay changes this still looks good.

It really is xD The dances are a lot more full on than the last game, I just went on 'Just Sweat' mode where you do 3 songs in a row and it tells you how many calories you've lost but man, I'm so worn out after that

It was fancy dress and so me and my friend went as... vampires, yknow, to be original. All night people were calling me Edward Cullen, despite the fact I didn't even have the hair, rest assured I was most displeased. I also have a predicament, do I wear the SAME for Haloween or should I shell out for a new costume?

What is this Netflix?

Has anyone got this yet? It's like the first but better in every way, most notably the controls! It feels so much more responsive that it's a really enjoyable experience, the graphics have been cleaned up and the menu is much better than the old one - not to mention the obvious roster of 45 new songs and DLC already available! I'm having a few people over tomorrow so I'm sure to have some fun with this Also, box art is amaze.

One of my best friends rang me yesterday to inform me she will be back (from uni) in a few days for a whole week of BURGERS, POKéMON, DANCING STAGE AND CIDER! My heart stopped for a second, then I stared at my clock wishing time would go faster.

I haven't put much thought into it yet and likewise haven't decided what I'm getting other people! This is about the time of year I start buying presents though, I hate leaving it till December because I start freaking out, worrying that I won't buy people's presents in time! Only problem this year is that... I have to wait because I'm broke and pay day is still 3 weeks away :p But yeah, weirdly I love buying presents and go a bit overkill on the whole thing. For me? I'd like... DONKEY KONG COUNTRY RETURNS! And my all time desire, a DK Tie, though as far as I'm aware they still don't exist.

Im a serial hugger but not to complete strangers. Maybe I should stop

It's weird that this thread should pop up, for the last few months I'd kept randomly catching this on E4 and started to really enjoy it so just last week I got the first series on DVD and I love it so far! I'm about half way through the first series though, so I've got some catching up to do before I can properly contribute to this thread :P ... and Barney is my hero.

I have a love for Justin Bieber in the same way that I have a love for Ashley Tisdale. To start with, I watched a few of his video's to see how bad they were, for the irony and all that jazz but as time went by... his songs stuck, he grew on me and I didn't understand where all the hate came from. He's quite funny in a ditzy and "I know everybody hates me" kind of way so I can't see why he's hated more than say... Miley Cyrus, who is completely up herself and lets admit, has even more annoying songs than Bieber. Sadly for him, everyone takes the piss out of him for having 'that hair' and assumes he is gay. Oh man, I'm sticking up for Justin Bieber on a Nintendo forum, anyone would have thought i'm a 12 year old girl - Being a 19 year old lad just makes me feel like a paedophile. Admittedly though, his acting is shocking

WII HD!!!!!11

I remember when the concept art for this was first revealed, I was so excited to get this game! ...Then, they revealed some gameplay footage and I lost nearly all interest in this game. Rewind back a few months though and it looks very promising at e3 and now, after watching the official trailer I am truly blown away, as the final game has lived up to the beautiful and striking concept art from all that time ago!

I'm so happy! I loved Rhythm Tengoku/Paradise and even prefer it over WarioWare! Anyone else want a remix of "hey baby, hows it goin'?"
