The game gives players instructions as they progress through the levels. When you come to something new, Donald's nephews explain what's going on. While not having to read an instruction book is nice, the game explains so many simple concepts from the beginning that this feature hinders more than it helps. For instance, gift boxes contain power-ups. Power-ups are good. You should get them.
The game's graphics quality varies greatly throughout. For example, some of the buildings show great detail while, in another area, it can be difficult to tell whether you're facing a cliff or a thorny plant. Also, while Donald is superbly animated, the game's many textures look grainy compared to those of other PS2 titles.
The sound, on the other hand, is spot on. The sound effects are also pleasantly cartoon-like, but the voices are annoying, especially Donald's.
Experienced gamers will blow through this one, assuming they want to, and younger gamers will find the game sufficiently challenging and fun. But gamers young and old will agree: There's nothing to like about Donald's new voice. --Todd Mowatt
Pros:
- Platform-style Disney game
- Cartoon-like sound effects
- Too similar to the Crash Bandicoot game series
- Obtrusive help feature
- Annoying game voices

Customer Reviews of Donald Duck
Donald Duck: Goin' Quackers If you like the Crash Bandicoot series, then you'll like this game. It's a 3D scrolling platform-type game with timed levels where you collect items, stomp on enemies, smash boxes, jump over holes, climb over obstacles and collect milkshakes to keep Donald alive & happy.
This is the story: Daisy has been kidnapped by Merlock and you (Donald, of course) have to save her. Donald's friend Gyro has invented a machine that can teleport Donald to Merlock's castle so that you can save Daisy, but first you have to collect parts to make it more powerful. So you get sent through different parts of the world to collect cogs & such, and beating various bosses along the away. Huey, Louie and Dewey hang around to give Donald tips and teach him "Special Moves". Though it appears to be a kids' game, it's actually pretty challenging & at times frustrating, so I wouldn't recommend it for younger gamers.
Like I said, if you like the Crash series, then you'll probably like this game. Overall it has PS2-worthy graphics & speed, decent plot depth and good gameplay. It's definitely worth trying out, but rent it before you buy it.
Mickey, take a hike! Adios, CRASH! Donald is in the house!
I like this game. Get this on Playstation 2! No other! Just 2!
Now for the short details of the game.
GOODIES: Nice graphics; good loading time on Playstation 2; funny; fast- paced; Cool special moves; PLUS you can choose outfits with enough threads.
BADDIES: A bit on the challenging side; You're timed on each level.
REPORT CARD FINAL: A+
A sweet game that proves Mickey isn't always the best!
Cute by aggravating
This is a VERY cute game, but EXTREMELY AGGRAVATING. Unless you're six-year-old is a rocket scientist, this is going to frustrate the heck out of him.
The game is very linear - you are forced to walk along a path. I can over-look this because of the cute graphics. However, some of the levels are very long and it's very tough to get through them without getting killed dozens of times. Argh!!!
