This game is truely awesome and really gives you the feeling your starting video games all over again. I've played through a handfull of levels and although I've heard there's only 18 I'm sure I'll return to get golds on past routes. How far have people got so far then? And NGC mentioned that you can get platinum medals, but how do you do that?

Take up too much room, my mates have their own bongoes for multiplayer gaming and I would never get round to selling the extra one. I'd rather go for the £2 cheaper option.

I'm the only one that will play it. When I originally got Donkey Konga, people that I thought would like it really couldn't be bothered. Wario Ware has received a lot more attention, and Super Monkey Ball 2 is still right at the top of the requested list rather than Donkey Konga. Although I enjoyed Donkey Konga, I've already got 2 sets of bongos and I don't need one more, seeing as playing it is a rarity now.

But yeah, suppose I'll just sell the next pair and make a bit of money.

They're free! Why wouldn't you want them? The standalone game is only £2 cheaper and you're getting it free anyway. Extra bongo's is no bad thing. You could sell them, or it just means you can play 2/3 player. Why WOULDN'T you want an extra pair?

Bah, I've just claimed it there. If the same happens, then muh.

Also, I don't want another set of bongos with it, but I've heard they're always packaged with the game. Annoying.

Damn SR sent me Donkey Konga instead. Really annoying I was looking forward to playing Jungle Beat today.

Also, cex sent me a copy of Live Aid, for some reason, which was very very strange. Hmmm. And my 2nd hand £4 copy of ED came in the Zelda golden 2 disc box, with no cover. Very very odd.

It seems a bit easy and short but alot of fun and it's makes use of the bongo's which hardly gets used unless you have a party or friends over.
