Now THIS is a platformer. After Sonic left a bad taste in my mouth, this was the mouthwash I needed. It's honestly every bit as good as the classic DKC games, but it can be brutally difficult at times. Luckily this version came with a "funky mode" where you play as Funky Kong, who has some abilities the other Kongs don't that make things easier. When they announced that Retro Studios was making this game instead of Metroid Prime 4, my first thought was "are you fucking kidding me," but now I'm glad they made it. It's probably one of the best platformers ever made.
