Donkey Kong Country Returns

I'm enjoying it so far. Just completed World 4. Either Retro is a sicko sadist or I'm a sicko masochist.

And by complete, I mean all levels are beaten. Not KONG complete, or puzzle complete.

The game is gorgeous. The layered paths really put the pseudo-2D to work.

Like in NSMBW, I flatly refuse to use the Super Guide... but, also like its retro-predecessor, you get extra lives like candy, and WILL NEED THEM.

The only thing that rubs me wrong is that Diddy has been reduced to powerup. Basically, you get a sustained roll attack, a hoverjump, and two more hearts. Lose the two hearts, lose Diddy.

Some time early on, the difficulty ramped up and hasn't leveled off yet.

So, it's awesome, and I recommend it.
