Does the look of the DKC series match the gameplay?

Nintendo doesn't really seem to understand the character that Rare reimagined Donkey Kong to be, as simple as it might seem, as they choose to hardily give him motivation at all while homogenizing him in there special Nintendo way and giving him the worst voice ever.

... Donkey Kong never really had much motivation beyond "I want that/they took my stuff/they're blowing up my home" and that continues in the new DKC games so... I mean, he's a gorilla. I don't know what kind of motivation he needs.

His new voice isn't as great as Grant Kirkhope's though. It was cheesy but delightfully so. "HEY YEEEEAAAAHHH COOOOOOOOOOL OH-KEYH"
