• Donkey Kong 64 was praised by players and critics when it came out, scoring 90 on Metacritic as the 13th best N64 game, the game was praised for it's size, having big 3D levels and 5 Kongs to pick, and the game to this day is still loved by it's soundtrack by Grant Kirkhope. But as times went by, people started being more critical of the bad game design, the main complaint was not only the exaggeration of items to collect, granting this game a Guiness World Record, but forcing many items to be picked only by one specific Kong, making this game seem like actually 5 separate games in one, and worse, constantly forcing players to switch Kongs in the Tag Barrels. While Donkey Kong 64 still has its fans to this day that challenge those criticisms, this game is often blamed for dealing a blow to Collect-a-Thon Platformers.
