Donkey Kong Barrel Blast Video
Filed in archive Wii by Michael Pick on September 26, 2007
The Donkey Kong franchise is about to get a new race title for the Wii. Donkey Kong Barrel Blast has been given a full hands on over at IGN. So does it live up to mario kart, or this going to be a damp squib?

So far, this doesn't look like a total killer, and will probably be better suited to younger gamers. Bozon at IGN writes that:
"It has the makings of a good racer, but Barrel Blast just isn't grabbing our attention. The game's overall speed is pretty low, characters stay on-track for the most part even if you stop steering and let them cruise though the levels, and aside from hitting special tiles on the ground to trigger shortcuts or frequent DK Country actions - riding a mine cart or hopping on any of DK's animal friends to gain the lead - it's unfortunately pretty anticlimactic."
While there's still time for the game to be improved before it hits the streets, this doesn't like a wildly promising title, especially given that the latest incarnation of Mario Kart is on its way.
