It's hard to take a console game and cram shrink it down to pint-size for portable systems. It was even tougher to do it back in 1996! The developers at Rare most likely had an arduous time trying to cram their graphically impressive masterpieces (at the time, at least) masterpiece, Donkey Kong Country 2, into less awe-inspiring versions on a smaller scale for the Game Boy. The end result we have here is Donkey Kong Land 2. Overall, I had fun with the game. While it borrows a lot of gameplay concepts from its console counterpart and implements them well. The graphics sometimes impede on gameplay, but those instances are few and infrequent.

Vacations are as good a time as any for tossing your family in the minivan, stuffing a backpack full of food stuffs, and hitting the open road for a lazy day at the amusement park. The world’s all-in-one destination for thrill rides and cheap prizes, amusement parks are the place for a good time – until they aren’t.
If you’re one of the lucky few to afford one, you’ll know there’s no mistaking the difference between a crappy carnival and the perfect weekend escape, which might just be a zombie pirate punching your ticket.
"The Donkey Kong series is one which I’ll always be hugely fond of. It’s full of tonnes of absolutely classic games, but for some reason, even the most popular games in the series are a little less well known than those of other series, and so the more obscure games in the series get unfairly overlooked by the majority of gamers. So, as a big fan, I’d like to talk about some of the great Donkey Kong games that aren’t so well known." - Rice Digital
