We should stop being so down on Donkey Konga though, really, because although we might sound a bit nonplussed, we do actually like it a lot. Drumming along to the game's line-up of 30-plus songs, when it's at its most frenetic and instinctive, is an addiction comparable to our endless hours with Amplitude on PS2. The problem is that it isn't like that often enough, and the rewards for getting good at the game - in terms of bonuses, audio-visual treats and sheer satisfaction - are seldom enough to compel you to keep playing it single-bongo'd.

Donkey Kong Jungle Beat was the debut project of Nintendo EAD Tokyo, [1] [2] a game development division of Japanese video game company Nintendo that was formed in 2003 with a 65-person team. [1] [3] Nintendo started planning to develop a new Donkey Kong game internally when the series' developer Rare was acquired by Microsoft in September 2002, [4] and development began for the GameCube shortly after EAD Tokyo was established in July 2003. Division heads Yoshiaki Koizumi and Takao Shimizu—who had previously led development on Nintendo's Super Mario Sunshine (2002)—respectively served as director and producer. [5] Donkey Kong creator Shigeru Miyamoto and Takashi Tezuka also served as producers, [6] while Sunshine programmer Koichi Hayashida was the assistant director and contributed to some level design. [7] Jungle Beat was the first major Donkey Kong game since Rare's Donkey Kong 64 (1999), [8] although it was intended as "more of a stopgap than a permanent status quo" for the franchise. [9]

Donkey Kong and Diddy Kong are sitting on a beach one day when they come across some mysterious objects that resemble barrels. Fearing they had something to do with King K. Rool, they take them to Cranky Kong. Cranky explains that they are bongos, so Donkey tries playing them, as does Diddy. Then, when Donkey claps, the bongos start glowing. Cranky explains that the bongos have some kind of power inside them. Donkey and Diddy continue to play the bongos, but they both play terribly. Cranky advises them to practice. At first they are against this, but then they realize if they can become successful in playing the bongos, they could afford as many bananas as they wish, so they start practicing. Whether you'll want to buy it at all though is a question we're having trouble answering. It's undeniably entertaining, with a solid, lovingly made custom peripheral to irritate the wife, and it's so simple to play that it genuinely is accessible to all. Sit around playing it and anybody wandering past is bound to take an interest and probably want to join in (or kill you). But, on the other hand, it's when you consider the actual controls behind the game laid bare on a normal Cube pad that you understand its limitations. What it boils down to is a game of hitting one of four buttons when prompted. The drumming novelty can only mask that for so long, and soon it runs out of steam compared to the likes of SingStar, Samba de Amigo, Amplitude and co., which still dominate the rhythm-action landscape in this household.
