Kirby's Epic Yarn: 8.5 @GS

I always thought it was a DS game untill I saw that review....lol...kweeni

same, because console games are so generic :D

Oh man, I've been away from System Wars for too long. Ugh.

1. Who cares if it's AAAe, AAAAe, AAe, etc. 8.5 is a great score and it's worth checking out the game.

2. 'you can't die' is balanced by collecting beads to gain a higher 'medal' reward, you can try to complete each level by retaining/collecting the most amount of beads

3. 'It's only a 6 hour campaign' - It's only six if you do the absolute minimum and complete the game. I don't know about how many of you guys just blast through the single player, but I've started to go for 100% completion in a lot of games I get. I did it for SMG2 and Metroid: Other M, doing so in both extended game play time for me and both didn't feel like a chore to complete.

After reading a few reviews, the same can be assumed about Kirby's Epic Yarn - There's lots to do after the single player campaign.

So SMG2 gets a 10 but this gets an 8.5? I don't understand the reviewer's mentality. Big names get big scores I guess. The whole reviewing scene is pretty corrupt. xsubtownerx

Great Score. I was not excepting Kirby to score so high. I was excepting 7.0-7.5 from the things I saw. Not bad at all; over looks like its going to be a great game.

*Snake Eyes* I think I remember you. Though you probably had a different avatar--people should just be boring and keep their avatars consistent throughout. I swear, most of the time I usually just recognize posters by their avatar XD.

[QUOTE="xsubtownerx"][QUOTE="princeofshapeir"] Apparently, games devoid of challenge don't deserve AAA scores. What a terrible, strange world we live in.Nintendo_Ownes7

LOL at the complainers in the comments.

Whenever some arty indie game has no element of challenge and is all about the experience and the visuals, it's fine, but the moment Nintendo tries to do the same thing, "WTF YOU CAN'T DIE, WHERE'S THE GAME????!??!1"

Great score. I'm gonna pick it up as soon as I have the money for it.
