Just brought Jungle Beat today. Dont really think much of it. At least it and counterstrike will tide me over till Resident Evil 4 arrives next week.

Konga rocked however.

Last week I was actually gonna make a thread about Konga 2's release date, because it seems to have been pushed up. A look at N's press site showed it coming earlier than I expected, anyway.

According to Nintendo the date is April 05. Only two months away. Its time for a songlist!

Post it

 

[bitwise]

but JB is the best platformer this gen!

supposedly.

Why don't you think much of JB? Everyone I've seen talk about it seems to like it alot.

I'm also looking forward to Konga 2. Still playing the first one quite a bit.

Jungle Beat is the reason the bongos exist. Preordered mine last week.

I was just messing with you guys

The game is actually very good. Its like a fast 2d platformer but controlled by the drums. At first you think its abit slow but thats your skill level. I like it. I still prefer Konga so far but thats not a knock against this game! Its also only a one player game. You're better off buying Mario Party over this game.

Graphics are quite nice. Much better presentation than Konga.

Overall EAD Tokyo are certainly going to bring us some great games.

How many medals do you have in JB?

I can't wait for Konga 2. Although I found some of the songs quite challenging, I'm hoping they add another difficulty level (I suggest calling it ApeShit mode).

:lol

You mean crests? I have afew bronze and 1 silver so far. Havent played much. Just did the beach level where you go in the water. That rocked. Ends with a crazy boss fight. :lol

 

[olimario]

Ouch... Not very good, eh?
You need to start learning how to do combos.

 

[Great King Bowser]

Yeah I suck at the game as well so far. Got silvers on all of the first 10 or so levels, with 2 golds.

Haven't had much time to play mind you.

 

[Deg]

Well i'm going to make way through and enjoy myself. Its good but it doesnt feel so addictive to me yet. Still good fun and i got myself an extra bongo so i'm happy.

 

[Bristow]

Supposedly it becomes very addicting once you get good at it and try to perfect each stage run. I'm really hyped about this one - can't wait for next month.

Dont overhype yourself.

Source you mean? for CS right?

 

[king zell]

I must get this since its out now

Its quite a nice game. Not for everyone.

So far i'd give it a 7/10 (not like a magazine review where 7/10 is bad).

It feels lacking in some way for me. Certain gamers will adore this however. Maybe more play will convince me?

Its very arcadey.
