Tanukitsune Posted July 30, 2006 Ok... I just got me the DK Bongoes and the Konga games and I haven't enjoyed myself so much in ages, but.... The last musical game I played was Parrappa 2 and I sucked SOOO bad at it! Yet, I'm doing fairly well in Donkey Konga, I even got a "gold" medal or two... So the question is: Is Donkey Konga easier than other musical games or did I somehow get a sense of rhythm? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Lechimp Posted July 30, 2006 I thought Donkey Kong was a pretty easy musical game, but Guitar Hero does have difficulty modes so you should be able to get into that. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

miffy495 Posted July 31, 2006 Just came from a three-bongo-set jam at a buddy's house. It never gets old if you have others to play with. Yeah, it is a bit easier than other rhythm games. Mostly, I suspect, because it was the first true rythm game for a Nintendo console, so they didn't want to scare anyone off. Still, Gorilla can get pretty challenging on some songs. If you want to get owned, just pick a whole lot of bananas on Gorilla. If you want some more pretty easy rhythm game stuff, DDR Mario Mix is about half as difficult as any standard DDR game, but still very fun. They seem to tone down the difficulty for the 'cube games.

Tommy Gun Posted July 31, 2006 Yes, definitely easy. I beat (no pun intended) the game in less than a week (cleared all songs). I've gotten golds on many of the Gorilla songs, but not all, mostly because I'm not crazy about a lot of the music so I stopped playing. I wasn't great at Parappa either, there was always something weird about the timing to me (I beat P2 though). So don't judge just on that, try out some other music games. If you have a PS2, you might also want to check out Taiko--you can get it for $10 at Target (in the US, dunno about there). I like it better because I like drumming more. It's not too hard either, but the hard songs are much harder than Konga. Also, be SURE to get Jungle Beat now that you have the bongos! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
miffy495 Posted July 31, 2006 True. Jungle Beat = Awesome. I got the bongos for that game originally, and considered Konga a bonus for the peripheral. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Tanukitsune Posted July 31, 2006 I actually got Donkey Konga 2 and Jungle Beat the day after I got the bongoes.... And Jugle Beat does seems awesome indeed! I knew Nintendo (or Namco to be precise) made it easier, they always make games eaiser so everyone can play them! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
