"Not worth the money"

Donkey Konga. I borrowed this game from a friend and started playing it, and was like, hey, this is pretty fun! So I played a couple of songs, and then some more, and then I realized. Hey, these songs suck. The Next day, I had absolutly no urge to play it anymore. Horrible soundtrack, and it just doesnt work well. it felt like I was just listening to music and banging on the drum randomly, for most songs, you just hit the bongo in random places of the song.

Story-Well I found the story fairly humorous, Donkey and Diddy find a bongo and then decide to become famous playing it so they can buy bananas. You know, not a very good story, but its a drumming game.

Control-The Control is very simple. Yellow spots in the music are left drum, red spots are right drum, pink spots are both, and the other thing is clap. Easy.

Sound-You would think that they would give the game good sound, but know, this game has a worse soundtrack than 70% of normal games. Only about 35 songs to chose from. But, Three of them are "medleys" for young children, with songs like "The Itsy Bitsy Spider" and "Row Row Row your Boat". Most of the other songs are horrible too. Most of them are old crappy songs. and some of them are new pop songs, which may sound ok, but one of them is called "like, wow". Not really something you would want to listen to,eh? The only fairly good songs like "All the Small Things" arent even sung by the people that normally sing them. Its like Kids Bop. The Best part in The Legend of Zelda Theme, and Mario Bros theme, which rock, but hey, you didnt buy this game to play two differant songs.

Replay-I guess you might throw it in if you have 4 drums, and 4 people to play with, but thats not very likely. I was bored in a day.

Fun Factor-Well, its fun to rent for a day or two, but then its just boring. Wait for Taiko Drum Master.
