Platformers really really frustrate me. Like throwing controler frustration. I really admire their design like in Super Mario Bros and Super Mario 64 and I bought Rayman Origins because I love the art in that game, but I really hate repeating levels over and over. The repetition drives me out of my mind. I think that because DKC has a variety of ways you could traverse a level kept me from getting too frustrated. Plus I could always make DK slap the ground or roll over a ton of Kritters. Yea I need violence in my platformers or I start throwing things. Just a big ol' baby aren't I?
