We have our reporters and community keeping an eye on Donkey Kong Jungle Beat for you, and we'll keep you up to date with the latest developments as they happen.

When you've known, loved and completed an original game it's always a bit of a risk to try a re-release, but we thought that Jungle Beat would probably make a good port onto the motion controllers on the Wii. So when my son asked for it as a birthday present we bought it for him, and he's been attached to the Wii ever since it arrived!

The game is a simple platformer, and at first glance it hasn't changed much at all from Donkey Kong Jungle Beat Gamecube. The levels are the same, with the addition of one or two extra levels at the end, apparently, but we haven't unlocked those yet.

The game is compatible with the standard controller, but isn't half as much fun to play without the drums.
