Donkey Kong Jungle Beat (Wii)

My son had asked for the newer verson for christmas but the price and the fact that he had never played them before put me off. So I opted for this earlier version thinking that they may follow a story. But that doesn't matter as soon as my son played on it he forgot all about the newer version and loves this now.

For all you people that loved New Super Mario Brothers (Wii) and want some more great 2d platformer action fun for your Wii then Donkey Kong Jungle Beat should be your next stop. You play Donkey Kong using the Wii Remote and Nunchuk controls. Our hero has some cool moves such as the "Clap Attack" which is done by shaking the Wii Remote or Nunchuk and you can tilt the control stick when clapping to direct the sound wave. The "Hand Slap" is done by shaking one of your controllers too but you need to press down on Nunchuk control stick so that Donkey Kong is crouching down. The "Wall Jump" is done the same way as Super Mario's wall jump and "Air Grab" is easy, you just press the A button when you are in mid-air which good for grabbing all those bananas. To do the "Backflip" press the A button while crouching and for the mega "Ground Pound" press the B or Z button in mid-air to hit the ground which creates a big sound wave. Some of the boss battles against the evil Kongs are similar in style to "Wii Sports Boxing". Donkey Kong has a wide range of friends that he can ride through the jungle, snow, sky and the sea. Flurl, Hoofer, Helibird and Orco are all great fun companies that make this excellent platformer even more of a blast to play. Jungle Beat has wonderful 2d graphics and the music is really catchy too. The only thing that would have made this game a bit better is for it to be longer in length.
