7.5

"The addition of seamless multiplayer does bring something fresh to the table, and Kirby's handful of new abilities add an extra touch of comedy and silliness to the mix. You won't find much trailblazing action here, and the challenge is a light one for most of the way until you unlock the tougher game mode by completing the story. Still, there's enough charm on tap to satisfy diehard Kirby fans and younger players."

Gamespot enjoyed the latest Kirby game, although I thought it would have faired a little better.

Knew it would get 7.5'd. Not interested in this anyway, looking forward to Skyward Sword, Skyrim and Mario Kart 7.

to be honest the last kirby put me to sleep mainly cause of the music. This one proboly wont. TBH kirby has never felt like a chllengeing series so the lack of it doesint shock me.

Had a feeling GS wouldn't take kindly to this Kirby. :P

Either way, looking forward to the multiplayer. It'll be Super Star/Dream Land 3 all over again! :D

Not really. From what I understand, the content in the Cube Kirby essentially got morphed into the story mode for Super Smash Bros Brawl This started appearing on release lists in 2007, so it likely started development after Smash Bros kinda started wrapping down.

Gamespot may have liked the New Kirby game, but their Review Score says otherwise.

Also I believe this Flopped.

I think the Hype was AA.

It got an A Score.

Kinda figured it. Was never interested in it. Looked like the same Kirby. Nintendo really needs to change things up for the franchise. I'm not talking about stuff like Epic Yarn or Mass Attack. They might as well be different IPs. I want a change to the core kirby.

All depends on what "scale" they used. :3 For the Wii, this is a fantastic game, lol.

The bad is it's difficulty? :/ I almost learn to null that remark, and anyone saying Kirby games are not too hard, either doesn't understand Kirby games, or they probably wish they were just harder. I can understand the latter sometimes, but also... I don't care about Kirby games being difficult. It's honestly is a bit due to Kirby's characteristics. He can fly endlessly through the levels, and well... that is kind of what makes it easy. Still, a hard game, Kirby shouldn't be. The joy and fun of them is the crazy bosses, imaginative worlds, fun mini-games (I think so at least) and well... Kirby's just one of those characters that is fun to play. They're just charming games.

That was a swell little review. Actually made me more interested than before. It seems like a fun little romp.

Good score, I'm getting after the semester ends. There hasnt been a Kirby like this since 64, which I absolutely loved.

Sheep should be up in arms like cows after inFAMOUS 2. It's 7.5 here, but has an 84 critic score, GS is bias against the Wii!

A flop, no question. This was supposed to be one of the two AA+ Wii exclusives to make North America this year. This pretty much wraps up the claim that this is the worst year for a Nintendo home console since Gamecube 2006.

That's hardly a "rough" score. I rough score would be something along the lines of 6.5 or less.

Shouldn't be that surprising, since critics never take Kirby lightly and peg him down for what that series is known for. Being easy and basic to play (which is an unfair on Kirby's case).

I don't understand this post.

Are you saying you want a Kirby game that feels like the main games, but with more content?

In that case, I don't know what you can change about Kirby. Kirby was practically designed with the concept of being accessible to beginners.
