Summary

Under the influence of a group of evil Tikis, the animals of Donkey Kong Island have raided Donkey Kong's banana hoard and stolen his stash of bananas - and being an ape of large appetites he understandably wants them back. Good thing that you are along for the ride. With Donkey Kong Country Returns, Retro Studios brings Donkey Kong back to a banana and platforming hungry public in a new side-scrolling adventure with familiar characters and new levels that reignite the passion players had for the Super NES original and all things Donkey Kong.

Honestly one of the best 2.5D platformers to date. The soundtrack is awesome and the level design and artstyle are incredible.

I saw someone describe the Returns series as "bland and lifeless." They aren't with us anymore :)
