Product Description

Donkey Kong: Jet Blast invites you to drum the Wii Remote and Nunchuk to zoom Donkey Kong through a series of races and be the first to cross the finish line. You'll collect bananas and power-ups to compete against other characters in the Donkey Kong universe like Diddy, Dixie, and King K. Rool plus four new characters! Use speed, skill, and power-ups to blast your way past your opponents or use dirty tricks like punches and pineapple launchers to push them to the back of the race. Invite three of your friends over to play and have a four-player race! Controlling Donkey Kong: Barrel Blast will get you moving! Race forward by drumming both the Wii Remote and the Nunchuck together at the same time to pound your barrels. To turn right or left, drum just one of the controllers for a quick turn to snatch a power-up or slide in front of someone. Once you get up to full speed all you need to do is steer-until someone tries to bonk you on the head and push you back! Use buttons to launch attacks and if you can string together a series of moves and attacks you get special combos that'll really put you ahead of the pack.

Customer Reviews

why when you can get mario kart?
this game isn't nearly as good as mario kart and is fairly poor even when you don't have mario to compare it to.
supose it might be ok for small children as it is easy to use and doesn't need much skill.

Rubbish and lazy Gamecube port
This was made for the gamecube then shelved, it was designed to use with bongo's not wiimote's. Controls are rubbish and the design of play is poor. sold it within a few days of getting it.

racing fun
had this game a week now and we both love it; as does other family when they come over. Tend to take turns in one player mode but it is multi player; just not keen on split screen but its still very playable just personal preference.

If you liked mario kart and donkey kong in the past you will love this.......buy it you wont be disapointed, its a little wierd at the start but bare with it because it doesnt take long to get into....cant wait for mario kart :)
