Donkey Konga 2 is notable as the only Donkey Kong game to be rated T for Teen in North America, due to lyrics not suitable for younger players. Other regions featured lyrics more appropriate for younger players and thus received lighter ratings. The game received 'average' reviews according to Metacritic. It is part of a series that won an award at the Game Developers Conference for best 'Innovation' in 2005, and the first game won 'Console Family Game of the Year' at the 8th Annual Interactive Achievement Awards.
