The range of gameplay features is truly expansive beyond belief and one minute you may be charging around as a rhino, the next you may be riding in a slot car or mine cart or even a jet ski as part of the bonus games.
Though some view this as just Banjo-Kazooie with some minor improvements, take it from me, it is far from that. Definitely a candidate that is well deserving of being this years "Game of the Year".

I recently played it again, and the truth is that I thought that nostalgia had altered my perception, since I remembered the game too good to be true, but when I lived the worlds again, got all the collectibles and got the 101%, I realized that indeed I was facing a very polished and good game for its time, highlighting how fun the worlds are, the soundtrack and the characteristic difficulty that many people do not like, but that I personally love.Translated with **** (free version)

Very intriguing, but nothing new. The game is fun, but unless you have time to collect every single object in the game, it can get old fast.
While it's still not as good or creative as the original Super Mario 64, if there's one true claim to fame it can make, it's that you'll get your moneys worth if you really do try and complete the game 100%.
It's DK64's length that really sets it apart from any other competition in the genre. This is Rare's War and Peace, it's that simple.
The real problem is that right to the end, it's just more of the same. There isn't the sharp contrast that DKCountry brought to the SNES as most hoped and expected. While no major ground is broken from Banjo Kazooie, Donkey Kong is still all there as a 3D platform game.
As cranky as DK64 made me, I can ill refute the fact that the game is still remarkable. Had this title come from any other game developer in the world I'd be doing back flips raving about how great it is.
Noo que se puede decir de este juego?? , realmente es muy bueno! no tengo mas nada que decir.Solo te recomiendo que si no lo has jugado empieza a jugarlo desde ya, no te arrepentiras.

Uno de mis juegos de la infancia, lo amo muchísimo, pero lamentablemente no es perfecto, el hecho de restringirte demasiado en la recolección de objetos, qué solo se pueden conseguir con cierto personaje, el cambio constante de Kong, la mayoría de minijuegos frustrantes, hace qué la experiencia no sea tan pulida, pero aún y con todos sus defectos, me encanta Donkey Kong 64, tiene una gran banda sonora, mundos preciosos, un nivel de carisma característico de Rare, en general sigue siendo un buen juego, pero no a la altura de sus otros hermanos como Super Mario 64 o Banjo Kazooie, mi calificación es un 7.0/10, pero si juegas su Hackrom (Tag Anywhere), aunque siga teniendo defectos, es mucho más agradable ya qué puedes cambiar de personaje en cualquier momento, entonces la nota sube a un 8.5/10.

Solid gameplay utilizing a colorful cast of apes and monkeys that all play extremely unique. Really solid level design as well as incentive to reexplore areas of the world with each Kong that opens up the level design in different way depending on their abilities and specialties. The only pain points of the game have to do with most Nintendo 64 era games, that being the camera. Multiple times I can recall precise platforming being made either more difficult or tedious via the camera.

For the Nintendo '64 gaming system, the two pre-eminent adventure games were Mario and Zelda. Those games enthralled players with their tight gameplay and interesting stories. Unfortunately, DK '64 doesn't have that same tight gameplay, and the story was never the strong suit of the series.
The problem with this game is obvious after about 30 minutes: It's all about collecting items, and very little else. Whether it is coins, tokens, or bananas, this game quickly devolves into little more than a scavenger hunt for miscellaneous items. Making matters worse is the fact that EACH CHARACTER needs to collect each item to unlock certain features. The game is tedious enough playing just as a single character, but add in the four others and it becomes ridiculous.
The music in this game is engaging (the DK Rap might just be the highlight of the whole experience!), but other than that nothing really stands out. If you don't mind collecting item after item, you'll like this game more than I. If you prefer a developed plot, however, than stay away at all costs.

this game is very tedious and not worth your time. anyone giving it a review over 6 are only nostalgic for the game and can’t see its blatant flaws. the music is great though i love the dk rap.
