Yeah I don't like Donkey Konga either, and it's precisely because of the crappy songs.
The whole bongo thing IS a gimmick, just as much as a force feedback driving wheel is, or the maracas for Samba De Amigo are. But it's a FUN gimmick. Without the bongos it would not be that great of a platformer, but since they designed the whole game around the bongos it's fantastic. Utterly fantastic. There is actually rhythm involved, but it's platforming rhythm. If that makes sense. Hopefully you'll see what I mean when you play the game.
And I know that was GR, thanks. I was just expanding on my earlier post.
