Went down to my local store to find a demo of Donkey Konga up and running and I must say this is much better than I expected.

Firstly the drums are great quality and showed no signs of falling apart even after a bashing by a small child playing before me. They aren't too big nor too small and feel nice and comfortable. The beats on the skins record fine, however the microphone didn't always record my claps, but I'm assuming that's because it was loud in the store and it couldn't quite hear them.

The graphics don't really matter at all and you won't notice that there's nothing special here at all.

The music is great, but only a few were up for play and only two difficulties too. All the small things fitted surprisingly well and I can't wait to try out more songs.

Those of you who are worried about the difficulty being too easy by the way, need not worry as on the second difficulty setting I was having a lot of trouble keeping up with the commands.

Basically Donkey Konga is extrememly fun and not even touching the multiplayer yet, I can tell you this looks great.

Well it is unlikely that we'll get Donkey Konga 2 over here.

If Nintendo would ever go online we could download them for a small fee.

We Will Rock You was just made for those drums...

In future versions they should make some kind of gizmo that allows you to make your own rythems or something. I dunno. Muh.

I know it is going to be great, it got great reviews and those that have played it thinks it is great.

Meanwhile there are a few critics on here that won't even give the game a gander.

Unless "Boom Boom Shake Shake The Room" is on it, I'm not getting it.
