So I played this with a friend for an hour to two the other day and holy balls is it hard. I don't know what it is, but we found this much harder than DKCR on the Wii, and I'm thinking it may be the controls. Do they seem different or slightly off from the Wii game to anyone else?
We were mostly using the pro controller, but kept going back and forth between the analog and d-pad (mainly used d-pad though) and between the roll/pound on the face buttons and shoulder/back buttons. I just couldn't get comfortable with the controls, even after an hour or so. We died way too much and were only on the second island.
At one point I switched to using the Wiimote (since that's what I was used to with DKCR) and that seemed to help, but I was still doing way worse than in Returns. So am I just crazy and it's just harder, or are the controls a little different than Returns? (or am I crazy for both reasons and it's not harder or controlling any different lol).
Great game though, just felt the action and flow was broken up too many times from dying :/
