Donkey Kong is free again and now he is in a new place with a bug army trying to take away plants from a random guy. Here is our Donkey Kong 3 Review.
The game was developed by Nintendo R&D2 and published by Nintendo, the game was originally released in 1983 for Arcades and in 1984 for the Nintendo Entertainment System but has been ported over to the majority of Nintendo platforms. It’s currently also available on the Nintendo Switch Online NES Service, this is also the version I played to review the game.
After Donkey Kong Jr. I was hoping for something better, but instead, I got pretty disappointed with something worse. There is no Mario, not even DK Jr., it’s just some random guy with a bug poison weapon. It’s fun for about 1 level, if that, because even before finishing the 1st level I got bored with this one.
All you do here is spray everything with bug spray and rush Donkey Kong with it so he goes up the ropes and I quickly noticed that if I just skip everything and go for the Kong, I can quickly complete the level without really playing. It’s just really stupid, but if you are not fast enough so many bugs will spawn and they are just more annoying than anything else.
Just like the 1st Donkey Kong game, we are back to 3 “Levels” but this time they don’t even feel like levels, they are just different sets with the same thing, nothing really changes and it all just feels like 1 level making the game that much more disappointing. This game doesn’t really feel like a game tied to the other 2 games, DK Jr. at least felt like it made sense with both the gameplay and a bit of the story, but here its just so incredibly random and boring.
