In a surprise to me, Donkey Kong Country Returns is one of the most stellar, well-designed platforming experiences of the past decade. Nintendo decided, after the success of New Super Mario Bros., to revive their 2D platformers right from their graves. They would represent a combination of modern refinements (read: making the game really easy), and bring that same nostalgic combo of difficulty, trial, and error to a new generation of kids and adults alike.
