BEST KIRBY EVER!!!!!!!!!
Hello gamers and welcome tomy next review which is kirby's return to dreamland fir the wii. the story begins when kirby meta knight king dedede and waddle dee are walking through a field when suddenly a ship crashes downinto the field near them. they go investigate and they find the driver of the ship asleep and he wakes up and notices all his sip parts and energy spheres are gon. kirby offers to help him repair his ship and return him to his planet. so kirby sets off to help the poor creature named magalor recover his missing ship parts and defeat the creature who caused him to flee to popstar. the graphics in this game are charming and colorful the environments are also nice. from the rolling green fields of cookie country and the icy landscape of white wafers to the beautiful sunsets of nutty noon and the fiery depths of halcandra. many of the old copy abilities return and are upgraded. from sword and fire to bomb and others.here are even super abilities. ultra sword makes you have a massive sword to kill anything in sight. monster flame summons a fiery dragin to come in and destroy everything in a fiery explosion. grand hammer is a powerup where if you shake athe remote your hammer grows in size and they create massive shockwaves. flare beam lets you take control a massive sized beam that destroys everything in it's path. and last my favorite snow bowl. this allows you to transform into a giant snow ball and plow through anything that dares get in your way. magalor's ship also is a fun to explore. there are challenges and copy ability rooms. challenges include the wing and sword challenges. and the copy ability rooms let you fool around and try out any copy ability. to unlock these rooms you must coolect energy spheres. these are spherical objects that are hidden throughout every level. some are easy and some take skill to find. after you complete the game there is a boss rush. this allows you to play through every boss with only 3 max tomatos. so overall this game is highly recommended for any fan of kirby games

Almost as good as super star!
Kirby debuted in 1992 on the game boy. That game was awesome but kirby games have gotten even better. This one is more like adventure and dream land 2 then the oringal. It is also like kirby super star but with 1 probelm. It's linited appeal is weird for a kirby game. The thing is we kirby fans have played so many simalar games. I like it when oringal kirby games come out. But hey this is a must have.

Too easy, Too slow
This game is extremely easy. I completed it in a little more than two days. Rent it, check it out of the library, but not buy it. It's not a game that you'll treasure. It's not as good as Super Mario Bros or Donkey Kong. I played it as a 21 year old but I would say that the age group for this game is about 3-11. Kirby has a lot of costumes that will help you complete certain missions. The graphics are good and the places are pretty but again, this game isn't so great. You can and will beat all the bosses the first try. I didn't like it how Kirby moves in a super slow speed. I didn't like it how when you went past a place, you couldn't turn back like in Super Mario Bros. The game is kinda predictable. I like how cute everything was but that's not enough to convince me. I won't waste my time with another Kirby game. This game should strictly be for DS.

One of the best Kirby games
The game has terrific gameplay, graphics, and music. I love the fact that you can play meta knight, king dedede, and other kirby colors.Even the copy abilities are amazing.The game is much better with multiplayer.

An underrated gem.
Before picking this game up on the day of release i saw some mediocre (cough cough IGN) to very negative (cough cough Kotaku) reviews. However DO NOT listen to them because they are absolutly WRONG! I was not disappointed it was extremely fun especially for parties. The multiplayer is so fun even surpassing nsmb wii and on par with the ssb series. easily the worst part of the game is the length ranging only about 10 hours in the main mode. but the fun collectables new modes, challenges, and mini games will add 15 more hours. while ign, kotaku, 1up, and others will bash the game for difficulty and lack of originality compared to epic yarn and mass attack this game is easily superior to both those game due to having smoother classic gameplay, better composed soundtrack, and just a more polished game overall besides graphics which goes to epic yarn but graphics dont make a game so this is a must have for everyone.

Welcome back Kirby!
Any Kirby fan will most likely LOVE this game!
It has every thing you'd expect in a Kirby game! Great characters, a good story, awesome abilities revived or added in, EPIC Super abilities!!
It's even multi-player so you can play with friends or family.
Altogether it's an awesome game and Hal Laboratory and Nintendo has done it again.

Classic Kirby Returns!
HISTORY This was a great revival of traditional Kirby. There has not been a traditional kirby game that is not a remake since sqeak squad on the DS. As a matter of fact he has not gotten a traditional entry sinse crystal shards on the 64. For people who are experienced to the series this game plays similar to the crystal shards.GAMEPLAY a great 2d platformer on the wii system. To me it equals about the same as epic yarn rating wise. The game has what you would want from a kirby game such as kirbys infinite jump and his copy abilities. There are new enemies along with the same old classics that you would remember, also there are some new powerups which are quite cool, but the most cool new addition in the powerup caategory is super abilities. which are furthurly enhanced normal powers that are able to do more than a normal powerup is such as cut bigger ropes or destroy course. these powerups have only a limited amount of use before they disapear. Close to the end of your super powerup you can go into an extra part of the course and find two gears inside a boss. Gears are hidden throughout the levels and depending on the level there are three four or five of them. Also when you beat the game you can unlock a mode where you can play with a max of half the lives you usually have. Boss fights are great except that there is only a few kinds of midlevel bosses . MULTIPLAYER; a good start, but it makes the game very easy and whoever is in the front of the group gets all the kills, so not as successful as new super mario bros wii, but better than DK contry returns. MINIGAMES; there are a ton of single player ones that are a blast, and the multiplayer ones are fun too but there only is a few of them. GRAPHICS: some parts the coloring looks bland and unless you have a flat screen tv than half your screen gets cut off, other than that the graphics are decent SOUND; although mostly new songs, they still fell very suited for Kirby and the sound effects are spot on. lasting appeal. I'd say that depending on how well of a kirby player you are this game should last between 10 and 20 hours of gameplay. I dont know what it is but i could only play an hour at a time without it starting to kill my eyes. Overall a great classic kirby experience that I would recomend to anybody looking for a great game.

Kirby's Back To The Past/Future With A Twist!!!!!!
Kirby's back with all-new abilities than ever before. This game can be enjoyable to all people, especially those big Kirby fans who want a blast from the past. this game is basically a twist from the classic games, but with some new features. Kirby can go all-out with Co-op Playing while you can play as Kirby, Meta Knight, King Dedede, and Waddle Dee. This game also features a way better story line. Kirby's ability to inhale is amazing in these games because you can beat levels with many possible ways to beat levels coming back to classic abilities like Fire, Ice, Beam, Cutter, and many others with even more abilities like Whip, Leaf, Spear and Water. The ,oves used for each ability are great for strategy! The graphics are way better than the original giving the original side screen playing with 3-D graphics. The sound matches beautifully with the right situation, and mini-bosses giving more length to the game and more fighting and action. The Energy Spheres you can collect give you a variuety of new mini-games, and Ability Rooms and even rooms giving you challenges to beat levels with certain abilities. One of my favorite parts of the game though are Kirby's new Super Abilities. He can use Ultra Sword to slash enemies with swords over 20 times his size. He can use Monster Flame to summon a dragon to mash through obstacles. He can use /snow Bowl to play a game of Winter Bowling running over and destroying enemies and obstacles over. He can ise Flare Beam to use a Super Particle Charged Beam to flare out huge beams to access switches and at the same time control those beams. Finally he can use Grand Hammer to wield gigantic hammers, and create a missive hammerquake all over! If I had to choose something to edit though, I would make the game longer and make more super forms. My own include a sequel to Monster Flame Kirby, Serpent Spark Kirby, Rocket Hi-Jump, Raining Bomb, Whirling Water, Funnel Tornado, and much, much more! If you are a new fan of Kirby and want a fun Kirby game, or is already a fan of Kirby and wants a blast back to the past, this the the perfect game for you. Now go get the game, and control Kirby like never before!
