5: Donkey Kong Country Returns (Rated E, Wii): While Super Mario Galaxy 2 received some of the highest review scores of the year, its somewhat limited cooperative play made it a lackluster hit in my house. Donkey Kong Country Returns, though, was a huge hit thanks to the ability to play as father and, perhaps, son apes. Donkey replica Tissot T011-417-17-051-00 Men's Watch Kong and Diddy Kong each have important and unique abilities that help the duo get through the dangerous levels.
