I took down Tiki Tong on Monday, and I ran through the Golden Temple yesterday. Accordingly, I finished up with 100% and nearly "completed" the game. (I have not played "mirror mode" or attempted to speed run any of the stages.)

I enjoyed Donkey Kong Country Returns. The mechanics and art direction were incredibly generic, but the game looked nice and played very well. Moreover, the music was fantastic, and the difficulty scaled perfectly. Finally, there were some great set pieces, and I appreciated the difficulty associated with finding all of the "KONG" letters, finding all of the puzzle pieces, and completing all of the hidden levels.

Accordingly - and while I can see some people being disappointed that it does not more closely resemble the original Donkley Kong Country games - I really cannot see any basis for hating it. It certainly is not the best 2D platformer of all time (or even the best 2D platformer I have played this year), but it is a very solid, enjoyable game.
