Donkey Kong Junior review (Arcade)

Reviewed April 02, 2011

Winston Wolf says: "With all respects to Ms. Pac-Man, you've heard of Donkey Kong Junior because it is perhaps the first great sequel to advance the original concept, cleverly reworking the formula while at the same time feeling immediately familiar to dedicated Donkey Kong players."

Donkey Kong Junior review (Colecovision)

Reviewed December 13, 2003

Marc Golding says: "While the perennial favourite, Donkey Kong, had a little red-capped, thick-mustached plumber leaping barrels sent careening his way by the big guy himself, Donkey Kong Jr changes things up completely. Now Mario is exacting some measure of revenge, somehow managing to capture the big ape and chain him up (any self-respecting PETA member's alarm bells would go off if they saw young Jimmy having a go at this).

Donkey Kong Junior review

Reviewed October 31, 2003

retro says: "I've read a few messages about some people blabbering on about how Donkey Kong Junior for the Atari 2600 wasn't a faithful port from the arcade. I can't really say what I think about this issue because I haven't ever played the arcade game of Donkey Kong Junior. But I know one thing...it's a pretty fun game for the Atari 2600. "
