Replay – Donkey Kong Country
Most of Nintendo's early platformers were renowned for their stellar gameplay, but Donkey Kong Country was known more for its 3D-like graphics than anything else. While it was no slouch in the gameplay department, we were more entranced by the then-impressive character models for DK and his enemies. With the novelty of the graphics behind us, how does the platforming hold up in 2011?
Watch below to see myself, Andrew Reiner, Tim Turi, and Jeff Cork play through the SNES classic.
