I felt like it was part of a different series, the continuation of the original Donkey Kong arcade. But when MvDK2: March of the Minis came out, I never got around to picking it up; the classic platforming had been replaced with a weird mix of puzzle and automation, not something that I was looking for in the series." 7.5/10
