"With a ton of incredible levels to conquer; gorgeous, perfectly designed graphics (wait until you see the first sunset level!); retro-inspired music; and smooth, flawless gameplay, videogames don’t get much better than Donkey Kong Country Returns." Wertung: 10/10 - destructoid.com
"Donkey Kong Country Returns proves that Retro Studios doesn't just have a talent for first-person sci-fi adventures. This is a game that succeeds not because of incredible innovations, but simply because it was designed really well. Retro took a series I didn't even want to care about, and made something great with it. This game easily makes up for the DK Rap." Wertung: 4.5/5 - joystic.com
"In a nutshell, Donkey Kong Country Returns is exactly what the series needed after a decade-long absence." Wertung: 5/5 - gamexplain.com
"Donkey Kong Country Returns is a beautifully executed example of Nintendo allowing a driven and focused developer to draw on the company’s rich history, yet celebrate its roots. Surprisingly, despite the cutesy, colourful visuals, it’s a game that will appeal far more to the parent than the offspring." Wertung: 8.5/10 - nowgamer.com
"I’ve been looking forward to this game for months, but the final product blew me away. Its gorgeous visuals, awesome boss battles, varied stages, and cleverly hidden secrets guarantee gamers will have a great time revisiting this classic franchise. It’s not only the best Donkey Kong Country, it’s also one of the best platformers I’ve ever played." Wertung: 9.5/10 - gameinformer.com
"There is no doubt in my mind that almost all Nintendo fans are going to love this title. It's an absolute must-have for Wii owners, or fans of platforming in general. Missing out on this would be missing out on a huge revolution for platformers." Wertung: 9.5/10 - gonintendo.com
"It's a hardcore challenge for the hardcore gamer, and because of its difficulty, it offers an amazing sense of satisfaction when you've completed a level that's kicked your butt five ways to Sunday. Retro Studios may have dialed back its Metroid Prime-style innovation in favor of a more traditional platformer for its latest experience, but Retro's modesty is still more impressive than another developer's A game. Rare should be proud that its design is in the right hands. Or just insanely jealous. Either works." Wertung: 9.0/10 - ign.com
Donkey Kong Country Returns hits all the right spots; it's filled with childhood nostalgia, stunning visuals, and mentally taxing challenges. The game offers a wealth of inventive, wild fun and works even for those with no inherent emotional attachment to the cartoon gorilla on the cover. Wertung: A - 1up.com
