Donkey Kong Jr
NES Game Reviews #15 – Donkey Kong Jr
With the success of its predecessor, Donkey Kong, Nintendo knew a sequel was essential. DK Jr took much of the gameplay that made the first a smash and twisted it around to create a new yet familiar experience.
Quizá la mayor diferencia entre Donkey Kong Jr y Donkey Kong es que, en esta ocasión, Mario (conocido como Jumpman todavía), es de hecho el villano de la pieza. En lugar de salvar a Pauline de Donkey Kong, controlas a Donkey Kong Jr (más conocido simplemente como Donkey Kong en Super Nintendo), y debes salvar a tu querido pa (el villano del primer juego) de las garras de Mario. Es un bonito toque para dar un giro a la forma de representar el heroísmo y hay que reconocer el mérito de Nintendo por un enfoque fresco.
Graphically the game is very much the same as Donkey Kong, but the game play influence is on climbing rather than jumping. Also like the first Kong, the game is very short and very easy, at least to make it to the first loop.
Highly enjoyable even if Donkey Kong Jr is a very short experience. Of course playing for points is a different matter.
