Any Donkey Kong Jungle Beat fans out there?
EBGames and Gamestop has Donkey Kong Jungle Beat and an extra set of drums for $14.99. I am contemplating picking this up but am wondering how many of you have played it and whether it's actually worth it.

It is Donkey Kong Jungle Beat, not Donkey Konga. It is still a good deal, but you'll need to pick up the Konga games elsewhere.
And yes, I like the Konga games if you have people to play them with.

It's a very fun game (but short). Great deal with two bongos.
The Konga games have more replay value, so I'd pick one of them up as well. I'd go with the first one, the song list is pretty shitty on the second one.

So I went ahead and picked up Donkey Kong Jungle Beat with two sets of bongos for just $14.99 at GameStop. Sounded like a pretty good deal I couldn't pass up. Can't wait to try it when I get off work tomorrow.

Just got back from GameStop and I'm pretty proud of myself.
$14.99 - Donkey Konga Jungle Beat w/ Bongos
FREE - Nintendo Bongos
$16.21 (w/ tax)
Immediately traded "DK Jungle Beat" back in ($3.00) got the extra 10% ($.30). I already have it.
$12.99 - Donkey Konga 2 (Used)
-$2.60 - 20% off Used Game coupon (same flier)
-$3.30 - Trade-in credit (from DKJB)
-$0.55 - Leftovers from Gamer's Edge card (forgot I had that on there)
$7.21 (w/ tax)
So I got 2 pairs of bongos and Donkey Konga 2 for $24.
Not bad.

There is another bongo controlled game coming out soon called DK Bongo Blast. Some places say that it has been rolled over as a Wii title, but since you can use the bongos with the GC ports on the Wii, you can use them there.

. Just kidding. Its fun when there's more than one player so that the competitive edge is added.

Played Donkey Konga 2 tonight with three other friends and gotta say it was absolute fun. My hands started to hurt a bit towards the end of the night. But for $35, I got Donkey Konga 2 and 4 sets of bongos. You can't beat that.

They continued for this week (no flyer needed) and my local EB Games had these things stacked to the ceiling (almost). We picked up a set for my cousin and her family and we are considering grabbing a few more for gifts through out the year.
The only thing that makes me laugh is that DKJB is a one player game, but you get a pair bongos in the deal.

ehhh they're banking on you getting the other two games. Still a sweet deal.
By the way I have an extra copy of jungle beat sealed if anyone is interested.

I just picked up Donkey Konga 2 w/ bongos at KMart for $5. I guess they are also selling Jungle Beat w/ bongos for $5, but they didn't have any left.
