I've been playing it all day with my mate and I'm loving it.

I never thought hitting a plastic set of bongo's could be so much fun.

The re-done editions of the popular songs and the new Zelda theme is very dodgy (although to be fair the new Zelda theme is for the bongo aspect of it)... but I've been addicted to this all day.

And the box is massive, almost the size of the Gamecube box.

I hand over a case and my friendly local game retailer picks up a box roughly the size of my head.

Anyway yes, the game is extremley good fun especially with a mate. But also damn good on your own.

Snap it up.

I got Donkey Konga today after trading in some old Xbox games. I also got some extra bongos for £24.99.

So I was all annoyed when I got home it hadn't come, and consoled myself with more of the sublime Pikmin 2 when there was a knock at the door about 4.30.. Good old postie (^_^)b

Now my hands are fooking aching from playing about 2 hours solid.. I've already got Gold on all the first difficulty and silvers on most the middle difficulty ones.

A very refreshing game with a suprisingly pleasing selection of tunes.

Why oh why is there no autosave!? I golded all the first difficulty games, switched off, switched back on, realised they'd gone, and I haven't touched it since.

BAH!

Those minigames are crap. Jungle Beat better be alot better.

And how come those last two drum sounds cost over 10,000 coins :| Unfair. It's just three sounds afterall.

The game's great, not too fussed with the mini-games.

I wouldn't imagine there'd be many mini games in Jungle Beat as it is nothing like Donkey Konga.

I didn't mean there'd be minigames in Jungle Beat.. oh never mind.

Still playing. Getting my head around the more difficult tracks now which I'd never thought I'd do. Bought a track for the final difficulty just now and wooo I'm going to have to practice a bit more to get good at those. :S
