Nintendo’s Revolution is promising something crazy unique, but for now the bongo controllers offer enough gameplay diversity to show that the innovator has its heart in the right place: making games accessible and exciting for everyone. Jungle Beat may be the only game to make good use of the bongos, but it does one hell of a job.

You'll love
  • You've never played a platformer like this
  • Deceptively pretty graphics
  • It's a workout
You'll hate
  • May have to bite it and buy the bongos
  • Not a very long adventure
  • Intense boss fights recycle ideas
