DK: King of Swing for Game Boy Advance Review - Game Boy Advance DK: King of Swing Review DK: King of Swing is a unique and interesting take on the puzzle genre that people will either love or hate thanks to the game's innovative control scheme. DK can jump, sure, but the key to reaching the exit at the top of each level rests with your ability to grab onto, spin around on, and hurl DK off the many pegs, peg boards, and peglike switches that are situated between the floor and the ceiling. DK and the other characters are drawn in a cartoonlike style, as opposed to the plasticky prerendered style made popular in the Donkey Kong Country games. www.gamespot.com /gba/action/dkkingofswing/review.html   (1578 words)

Donkey Kong Land - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia In this portable follow-up to the Super Nintendo game Donkey Kong Country, a bitter Cranky Kong, jealous of all the success Donkey Kong and Diddy Kong have had from DKC, states that the only reason their first adventure was such a big hit was because of all the fanciful graphics and sound. Returning characters, besides DK, Diddy, and K. Rool, included Rambi the Rhino and Experesso the Ostrich. DKC alumni Cranky Kong, Funky Kong, and Candy Kong did not make an appearance, although Cranky was mentioned in the off-screen storyline, and it is suspected Funky built the teleportation device the characters must have been using, while Candy possibly programmed the K-O-N-G letters that would save game progress. en.wikipedia.org /wiki/Donkey_Kong_Land   (573 words)

IGN: DK: King of Swing Review King of Swing's actually been available in Japan and Europe for months, but it's now finally shipping in the US after nearly a year and a half after its premiere. DK King of Swing is really just a one-trick pony spanned across many different levels, and though the designers clearly have a lot of fun working some nifty level ideas using the rotate-and-grab mechanic, it gets a little tiring. DK: King of Swing is a classic example of a Nintendo game attempting something that's both unique and familiar at the same time. gameboy.ign.com /articles/651/651622p1.html   (1061 words)

Review - DK: King Of Swing // Game Boy Advance /// Eurogamer DK: King Of Swing crept out into the European market last Friday ahead of anywhere else in the world, so we won't blame you for knowing nothing about it. The idea is essentially to swing DK from the bottom of the level right to the top via a series of wooden pegs while avoiding various hazards along the way, using the left and right shoulder buttons as DK's grabbing hands. You can, however, charge up DK by holding down L+R for a second or so and bowl into them, but although that's an initially solid attack you'll soon have to deal with enemies that can only be killed by piling into their weaker side, and so on. www.eurogamer.net /article.php?article_id=57921   (1083 words)

nintendojo ~ a site to see When DK flips around on a peg, his ever-present tie obeys the constant gravity, and the rest of the ape's body follows in a similar respect. Obviously, King of Swing takes the same mechanic of rotating on posts and runs with it in a different direction, but the initial idea was the same. King K. Rool has stolen all of the medals that DK was going to award at his Jungle Jam competition and running away to his fortress. www.nintendojo.com /reviews/GBA/view_item.php?1132793119   (1100 words)

IGN: Game Boy Review DK: King of Swing made it’s debut at E3 2004, but has only been available in Japan and Europe; only recently has the game been released in the US, a year and a half after it was announced. Your goal is to swing from pegs, and climb to the top of the level, while collecting and avoiding various items and hazards. King of Swing doesn’t have continue barrels like DKC, so if you fail a level, you must start it all over again, very annoying if you passed a difficult area and you now have to pass it again. rr.gameboy.ign.com /rr/682880/032/032231.html   (1047 words)

DK: King of Swing Game Boy Advance review at games xtreme In King of Swing you are required to hunt down the medals which have been stolen by King K. Rool as without them a certain tournament cannot take place in the jungle.

Gamerz-Edge - DK: King of Swing for Game Boy Advance Review   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-04) DK: King of Swing has finally arrived and it’s yet another example of how Nintendo is trying to push innovative game design. These are the unique controls of the game; everything else involves some sort of “swinging” (which should actually be called rotating since DK is merely rotating around a peg or object with either his left or right hand). However, in DK: King of Swing, the type of difficulty actually becomes a bit of an annoyance since you usually never die and thus are stuck on a platforming part of a level that could take several minutes to beat. www.gamerz-edge.com /gameboy/reviews/dkkos.html   (2010 words)

Press The Buttons: Mini-Review: DK: King Of Swing King of Swing's gimmick involves using the L and R buttons to control Donkey Kong's hands.

Planet GameCube Review: DK King of Swing   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-04) The great thing about King of Swing is that it keeps introducing new gameplay mechanics in each level to keep the game fresh and exciting. There are also nice little touches, like seeing DK's tie fly up in the air as he falls back down, having DK beat his chest and slap the ground when he's idling, and seeing his legs react as you swing in a direction. King of Swing also has one of the most hilarious 'cancel' noises for a game ever. www.planetgamecube.com /reviews.cfm?action=profile&id=611   (1086 words)

[No title] For the first time DK can also survive more than one hit, he now has a Heart meter containing three hearts, losing all three means starting the entire level over, falling into a bottomless pit counts as losing one heart and not as an instant game over. DK decides to go after King K. Rool and retrieve the Medals so the competition can be held. Now is the time to use those Spiked walls, so swing up to the top left or top right corner, using only your free hand remember, then just swing as you would when swinging normally, you should drag the Boss and cause him to smack into the Spiked walls several times in one swing hopefully. www.cheatcc.com /gba/sg/dk_king_of_swing.txt   (7278 words)
