DK: King of Swing

"...ignoring the entirely superfluous Jungle Jam, the single-player adventure more than makes up for it and although has arguably way too many incidences of annoying level design to get too excited about, for those with a steely mindset and a longing for something genuinely new DK: King Of Swing is a surprisingly worthwhile addition to the handheld (swinging) scene."

"DK: King of Swing deserves 70% because it is still a solid game, but it could have been given a lot more work and a lot more content to make it a worthy 2005 release, and it may disappoint loyal Donkey Kong fans."

"DK: King of Swing is a classic example of a Nintendo game attempting something that's both unique and familiar at the same time. It's a concept that could only be successful on the Game Boy Advance for its rather basic structure, but even with its simplistic design DK: King of Swing has a lot going for it. Simple L and R gameplay isn't enough to keep interest high all the way through, so it works best as a quick-shot experience."

"King of Swing doesn't go out to amaze, just to show the gamer something new. While it works extremely well it might not hold your attention for too long."

"Overall I think that it’s nice to see a developer try out a new idea but this one didn’t really wash with me, maybe its just that the game is not my cup of tea but it seemed to be too repetitive and frustratingly difficult all of a sudden at various points for my liking."
