Play Control! Donkey Kong Jungle Beat

Donkey Kong jungle beat was a curious game, which revolved around controlling the well loved titular character by beating a pair of peripheral Nintendo bongos! A strange concept, but most players found that when they actually sat down and played it, it was an absolute blast. However, some criticised the lack of analogue control within the game, and it seems Nintendo listened to some ideas with the new release of Play Control!

Play Control! Donkey Kong makes the game much more accessible and attractive as your control of Donkey Kong becomes a lot more manageable and personal. Use of the analogue allows you to tilt it accordingly, and the bongos are eschewed completely, there's no accessibility for them. This creates a much smoother flowing game with a classic control system.

The motion sensing within the game covers most actions, such as punching enemies, beating the ground and even swinging on vines. Pounding the ground is especially interesting, seeing as you do it by holding B or Z to crouch and shaking either the wiimote or nunchuk to pound with the corresponding arm. Other than that and the fact that you can backflip while running and tilting the stick backwards whilst pressing A, Jungle Beat controls much like any platformer. The visuals and gameplay are married to great effect, creating a game that plays as great as it looks.

Another instance in which Nintendo listened to fans is that of adding new/different content to this new port. Gamers complained that the original title began to recycle boss battles and environments as the game progressed, annoying gamers who began to tire of fighting the same battles over and over. New and tweaked bosses have been added along with refreshed environments, sure to please the original naysayers.

If you missed the first opportunity to play these hugely innovative game, then try out the Play control! version for an even better experience!
