2-HeadedGiraffe: Hitting is good.
I bought Donkey Konga 2 yesterday after wrapping up over $100 in coins I had accumulated over the last however long it's been since the last time I wrapped up my coins. I bought the game, and a new wall scroll (Excel Saga, featuring Hyatt large in the center and several background sections featuring the other main characters, except for Ilpallazo), and still had a good bit left over. I was thinking of also buying Donkey Kong Jungle Beat, but I'll save that for another day. I have some stuff I might trade in to cheapen the purchase of that one, too.
Basically, the game is just like the first one, which is a good thing, IMHO. The choice of songs is more mature than the first, explaining the Teen rating, but they still work around profanity, which sort of surprised me. At least one of the songs had several slight rewordings to get around bad language, but most of them are really pretty decent covers. A couple sound pretty close to the originals, but I'm not sure if any are the original versions or not. Either way, they tend to sound quite good.
There seem to be a handful of new features which I imagine will be greatly appreciated. Instead of having to play every song in the Challenge mode, you can select different numbers of songs to play in a row. Also, there's a random song select in the Street Performance mode, which can be kinda fun. Another surprise was that the game automatically loads all the sound sets you have unlocked in the original game if you save them both to the same memory card.
If you liked the first one, you'll like this one.
Mood: Alright.
Music: Not listening to any right at the moment.
Browsing: Yeah...they had to edit this one.
