User Rating: 9.5 | Kirby's Epic Yarn WII

Perhaps the best old-school platformer on the Wii, with its unique graphics -- which really DO seem HD-like --, awesome and appropriate music, extremely polished gameplay -- especially on Kirby's various forms/mini-games that, unlike the Mario Galaxy games, have excellent maneuvering --, many extras (not too many, but good enough), and an entertaining 2-player mode for every level available.
It's one of the most simplistic Wii games, it's not really hard at all, being appropriate for newcomers -- in fact, Kirby can't die and hardcore players may find it way too easy -- gameplay-wise, and it's definitely different from other Kirby Games (no swallowing enemies to absorb powers or floating around) but personally, I haven't had this much fun in a Kirby game since Kirby's Adventure on the NES.
