Platform hopping in classic Donkey Kong fashion (i.e., from the old arcade) wouldn't seem like a great way to sell a technically sound game, yet Rock Solid Games did just that. The single-screen action that has players collecting bananas, fruit or battling bosses, aims to work well as a fun-loving platform game. But sadly, it just doesn't click. The first five or so stages breeze by with easy-going fun, but after the seventh stage things start becoming stale. While the boss fights and air balloon flights mix up the gameplay, I just couldn't escape from the irking boredom of repeating the same thing over and over and over again.
