Don't you find it funny that this Donkey Kong game is also coming out on Nov 21

That is very cool. It might have been intentional, either way it's cool.

The best strategy in the game: go up stairs and pause balls.

Anyone else pick up the game yet? I made it a point to be at Target right as the doors opened, and the game wasn't on display yet. I ask one of the guys there for it and he's like "Is that for xbox?", and I felt like Hank Hill on that one episode of King of the Hill with the Strickland Family Picnic where he says: "The guy asked me if I wanted honey mustard and I almost took a swing at him." So after one guy telling me that the game wasn't out until Tuesday and me telling him the release date is today, a more competent worker came over and checked on her scanner and confirmed that the game was out today and got me the first copy from the warehouse.

Long story short, I got the game, the free $10 gift card and now I'm experiencing platforming bliss. Corbie's review is dead on, and you guys need to get to playing...

P.S. And this is going to be massively redundant, I know, but bear with me: Retro Studios are video game GODS...

Naw, that sounds more like the Propane Explosion episode where Strickland Propane closes and Hank has to work at Mega-Low-Mart and Buckley is manager of the Propane department and doesn't know anything about Propane and couldn't help customers and when Hank tried to do something Buckley threatened to fire him...I watch a lot of TV.

@ballkirby1: Very true, that situation also applies quite well (if not better) to how I felt when the moron asked me whether DKCR was an xbox game...

That made my lol'd.

Thats had happen to alot of Wii games that are mistaken to be an X-Box game.
Mostly becuse alot of people think very little of the Wii,and what it able to do.

But the real insult here is Comparing an Nintendo game with an X-Box game.

I've completed World 1 (except for the time trials, which I'm saving for later), and I must say that Corbie's perfect score is very well deserved. This game plays excellently, and the levels are a blast, especially discovering all the cleverly hidden puzzle pieces. I don't remember ever having this much fun with the original DKC trilogy, or striving to dive back into a level to collect any items I left behind, but I'll just chalk that up to the fact that I was younger and a bit less skilled at platformers to bother (also, lazy).

Platform Panic is by far my favorite level so far, with Sunset Shore (the silhouette level) a close second. The former level's challenge is just perfect, and it really requires both memorization of patterns and quick reflexes (you can't stop moving forward or you'll die), which made it a blast to play... even if I did lose about 20 lives before I finally got through it. Apparently I'm a bit rusty, but I'm getting right back in the swing of things in a big way...

I was afraid that the reviews I had been reading were over hyping the game a bit...BOY, was I wrong. Popped the game in and it was torture to turn it off after going through a few worlds. It is so fun, and everything from the controls to the music are so well done. This game makes me feel even more nostalgic and happy then NSMB Wii did, I simply can't say enough good things about it. Retro really seems to know what gamers want; the feeling of whimsy and wonder that I remember getting as a kid when I played many SNES games, I totally feel it in every level of DKC Returns. But anyways, if you are getting one game this Christmas, ask for DKCR...now, I gotta get going back to the game...

@Metroid_Fan: Platform Panic was certainly a challenging level, especially for world 1.

I'm almost to world 3 right now, and already this is a very high contender for the title of my favorite wii game. Everything is just about perfect, from the breathtaking levels to the hilarious animation of Donkey Kong running, they nailed this game.

Edit: The soundtrack is quite amazing, and I immediately smiled when I heard the new Aquatic Ambience.
