Rare recently unveiled the nearly complete version of Donkey Kong 64, featuring massive worlds and a huge cast of characters. Donkey Kong 64 is a 3D adventure game created by the same people who gave the world many greats such as goldeneye 007 and many others. Donkey Kong is charged with the task of overthrowing Kaptain K. Rool and his army of gremlins. It wouldn't be monkey business without Donkey Kong and Diddy Kong, but this time three new playable characters are thrown into the mix. Tiny, Chunky and Lanky complete the five-monkey team, and players will have to get to know each of them to complete the game. Each member of the DK crew must travel through the game's eight baffling worlds, but except for Donkey Kong they must be unlocked first. Since each monkey has a unique set of moves and abilities, players will explore different areas of each world depending on which character they are controlling. Many of the puzzles in DK 64 require players to switch frequently between different Kongs. | |||||||||||||||||

Just as the Donkey Kong Country series made a radical leap in snes gaming with ACM fully-rendered graphics, Rare is raising the barGargantuan Graphics Just as the Donkey Kong Country series made a radical leap forward on the Super NES with ACM fully-rendered graphics, Rare is raising the bar for Nintendo 64 games with the size and depth of DK 64. As a result, Donkey Kong 64 is the first game to require the use of the N64 Expansion Pak. The extra four megs of memory has allowed the artists at Rare to create spectacular multi-colored lighting effects and rich textures, without cutting any corners in the size or design of the sprawling worlds. Spinning lights and explosive special effects deliver delicious morsels of eye candy, rounding out a tasty visual package. Some of the textures are similar to Banjo-Kazooie, but the level designs are purely DK. | |||||||||||||||||
