Video Game Review: Donkey Kong Country Returns 3D

Earlier this summer, Donkey Kong and Diddy Kong made a comeback in the new game, Donkey Kong Country Returns 3D for the Nintendo 3DS.

We asked OWL reader Selena, 13, to play and review it for us. Here’s what she thought:

“This game is a lot better than the first Donkey Kong Country because they have a new beginner-friendly mode with more lives and power-ups which make it easier to play. If you want a challenge, they still have the harder version with a few new levels. But they don’t give you a tutorial at the beginning so it made it a lot harder to figure it out. I think that other kids would like to play this one if they enjoy platform games. Plus, it is a lot more fun for both beginners and gamers with two different modes.” 8/10

Thanks for your review, Selena!
