I tried this game out at NY Comic-Con. I for the most part like it and I'm totally looking forward to its release. No scratch that, I REALLY like it.
The reason the graphics are all different is because the old DK model, Kremlings etc. are a joint copyright by Nintendo and Rare. When one of them isn't in the picture it makes things a little hard - so all the graphics resemble Jungle Beat instead.
I played with the nunchuk and at first I couldn't stand the controls, but they're actually all right. They're difficult to get used to but then they're OK - hold a horizontal direction and shake to do your rolling attack, DK's ground pound is done by holding Down on the nunchuk and shaking, and Diddy's jetpack is simply holding A while jumping (kind of like Yoshi's flutter) Diddy's popguns are done with the B button. And I *really* like how the two can team up and DK takes over Diddy's jetpack controls so you don't really need to switch.
I was playing along with Cinemarella and the best part by far is the multiplayer. Remember how NewSMB you don't really feel like you needed other people to help you - in fact, it became quickly competitive? In DKCR, your multiplayer experience is *awesome* - you're actually communicating with your friend on the couch constantly, relying on each other to reach different areas and open new paths.
if you have a bff, i think they'll be glad you got this game
OH
and remember the roll-off-ledges-and-jump trick you probably used in DKC like hundreds of times?
It's a little harder to do on a nunchuk but it still works
also: NOA staff told me that there will definitely be more than one controller scheme selectable - they didn't disclose which ones exactly but chances are it'll be everything but the GCN controllers
