I hope you have really good swinging motion on this game because it takes a lot of Up and Down Swinging animation to move left and right because it looks hard but it's also a workout

when my mother was pregnant, she wanted to get rid of fetus me (i was a bad fetus) so she bought a copy of barrel blast, hoping it had similar effect to smoking 6 packs a day. but with that first swing of her arm, she was invested. no sleep, no eating, she just sat there peeing herself playing donkey kong. she wanted me to join in on the fun, so she swallowed a wii remote whole. we played for hours. then, eventually i was born, and she named me after the best character. she died due to pregnancy complications or plastic ingestion or cancer or something. 100/10 changed my whole damn life... and if there is any kalypsos who want a kludge like me hmu

This game is sublime, aided and abetted by the first and only playable appearances of Kludge and Kalypso.

The motion controls in this game totally blow and will make your arms tired. If only it came out on the GameCube and used the bongo controller instead of the Wii Remote and Nunchuck. Do yourself a favor and SKIP this game.

I was initially afraid to touch the game because **** **** now that I have. I can say that AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA. This game is terrible. Easily, the worst game featuring Diddy Kong. First off, all of the tracks might as well be the same. No one cares what track that you're on. No one's gonna be like, "I REALLY LIKE THE DESIGN OF THIS ONE. I LIKE THE EVER SO SLIGHTLY DIFFERENT PLACEMENT OF THE BARRELS IN MT. DYNAMITE REMIX RATHER THAN JUST MT. DYNAMITE.". And, it's painfully obvious that this game was made to be played with the bongos. Which is why this game is not compatible with the bongos. Which, I'm sorry. That's just dumb.

0/10 I played this game for 50 hours and yet girls still won’t f*** me. I’ve been a virgin for so damn long and yet when I heard this game would let me have sex with as many women as I wanted I was ecstatic. Then this game like the Donkey s*** that it is didn’t help me improve my sex life at all.

Thrilling experience, I would give it a 100/10 if I could. I bought the game 20 times since I loved it so much. Then I had a bowl of ramen to ease my thrill and enjoyment of this mozart-esque masterpiece. I loved being a monkey and then blasting barrels with a pointy white stick. It was fun, I loved the emotion I got from it.

Really strange and this game has bad controls. This game is one of the worse racers I have ever seen. Graphics look like the gamecube even thought this game came out on the wii. This game ****.

great game, perhaps a bit to simplistic in it's mechanics, but a fresh new twist on the traditional "race people and bash them with items to get ahead" style of racing game we've seen in the past.

We cannot understand all the negative reviews for this game in my house. My son, wife and I play this more than any other racer on the Wii (and we have nearly all of them). Tight, fun controls and a lot of hidden depth. After a few play sessions I realized that if I can time my banana fueled turbo boosts to hit a few barrels in a row the turbo boost is extended for example. There seems to have been an agenda to hate on this game at the time of its release. Picking up a Wii and this game in 2014 and it is clearly better than most other racers on the system. Reviewers say the on rails mechanic is an insult. It is hardly on rails- you will just slowly go around the track bumping into things if you go afk. Comparing it to the apparently untouchable Mario Kart Wii this racer does not have the ridiculous "give constantly overpowered items to the guy at the back" programmed in. You win your races due to skill and timing. It is also a great little workout at times as you pump the num chuck and remote to get up to full speed- Once at max speed you can focus on maneuvering. So, all in all, a criminally underrated game imo. And for me Mario Kart Wii is just the opposite.
