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 bought the K.Rool bashing game.

It, quite frankly, sucks ass.

Oh yeah, I reccommend playing Single player with your feet. It's actually quite fun- and before you mention about clapping, tap the side of the bongo's with your feet- works great.

I managed a Gold on 99 Red Balloons on Chimp difficulty with my feet. Hmm, perhaps I'm more like a monkey than I probably imagined myself to be.

The vine climbing mini game really is absolutely shockingly awful. I would be happier if they'd actually just left it out of the game all together. I don't hold much hope for the K.Rool Bashing game and the juggling one isn't exactly exciting either

Yep, however it's not the German version which I laughed at so many times on Scrubs.

Still, it's great.

99 Red Balloons is a DK track?

I bought this yesterday.

Absolute genius. I can't stop playing, and playing, and playing. I even got a few mates round to play becuase of the game, and they've gone home and ordered it on Amazon.

So yes, if you combine 99 Red balloons with Zelda noises for the bongos, that's amazing.

It's the best of the three. The vine climbing one is truly awful.

I love the theme music to the game, it was definitely intended to be smashed out on the bongo. Overall its heaps of fun, I'm currently persuading a mate to give it a try too.
