For this gorilla-sized episode, we're examining one of the biggest games to grace the N64: Rare's DONKEY KONG 64. Luckily, we have help: the Attempted Murder (siblings Neal and Rosie Crow) return to help us sort through this epic story with five apes, eight massive worlds, and literally hundreds of collectibles. Is this Rare's finest moment or the game where the storied studio finally jumps the shark?
