3.0 out of 5 stars First Donkey Kong without Mario, November 4, 2007

This is a fun game. That being said it is also a very limited game. Even for the time it does not offer variety. You'll end up playing this game for a few minutes before you will inevitably think, "Is that all?" The "levels" are almost identical. The game has no ending. You will ultimately be left unsatisfied from playing this title.

Note: one of my "overall" stars comes solely from the "Donkey Kong" name.

3.0 out of 5 stars Not like the first two games, November 22, 2010

Stanley the Bugman's console debut was never as popular as Mario's starring in Donkey Kong and Jr, and for good reason.

The game is a shooter in disguise as a limited platformer. The goal is to spray Donkey Kong up to the top of the vines he climbs with a bug sprayer, while also shooting distracting bugs that try to take away your flowers.

When Stanley dies, he looks like as if he just died like how Mario does in Donkey Kong, but in the arcade version, that's not the case. In the original, bugs would swoop down, and eat off Stanley (Thankfully, there's no blood. His body just disappears) I can see why that was censored in the NES game.

Unlike the first two games, Donkey Kong 3's levels are all identical, with just the color palliate changed.
