  An enjoyable game for all ages.

  By lessthan3james | Review Date: Jun 14, 2009 | DS

  Being new to the Starfy character I had no idea what to expect. Starfy is an unspoken starfish that makes random noises that everyone in the game seems to understand. He has a pal clam named Moe who talks as if hes a ste... Read Full Review

  "WARNING: NO DIVING ALLOWED! SHALLOW GAME". Starfy makes Kirby look like Mortal Kombat...I barely see the comparison.

  By Double_Wide | Review Date: Feb 25, 2011 | DS

  Besides the light hearted character design and having world maps, Starfy doesn't play anything close to Kirby. Kirby honestly kicks way more butt! However, that's not to say that Starfy isn't a quality platformer in its ... Read Full Review

  A solid choice for anyone liking 2D side scrollers and bucket loads of cuteness!!!!

  By Naomz | Review Date: Feb 06, 2011 | DS

  Ive never personally been one for side scrolling games. But on occasion I will play one and Im glad I picked up The Legendary Starfy for my DS. I was initially drawn to the cuteness... What can I say... Im a sucker fo... Read Full Review

  Starfy is clearly aimed toward kids, and avid or even casual gamers will get bored fast.

  By ivory_soul | Review Date: Nov 12, 2010 | DS

  The Good: Cute visual style, tight controls The Bad: Super easy, way to many ways to save, lame mini-games, geared towards kids only The Legendary Starfy is actually the fourth game in the series, but the first gam... Read Full Review

  It's like a hybrid of kirby and mario.

  By nintoaster5 | Review Date: Sep 12, 2010 | DS

  When this game was first released, I saw the commercials and thought it looked pretty cool. Then I read some reviews and saw that it was bad. About a month ago I got the game, for 5 dollars at a yard sale. I popped it i... Read Full Review

  Starfy's not as fun as Kirby, but he's still good.

  By MBS923 | Review Date: May 27, 2010 | DS

  I bet lots of people would think Starfy (the star shaped creature whose series has been in only Japan for 7 years) is a lot like Kirby. His games have vibrant graphics, a cute hero, and maybe other things that may make h... Read Full Review

  By wikigamer | Review Date: Feb 18, 2010 | DS

  Despite Kirby-like graphics and being too easy, The Legendary Starfy stands out on its own with unique and fun gameplay.

  By CazFeraligatr | Review Date: Feb 14, 2010 | DS

  The Legendary Starfy is the first game in the series to reach North American audiences, and it delivers. Its unique gameplay mechanics, combined with the cuteness of the more well known Kirby series, TOSE has brought ov... Read Full Review

  Just an average Kirby Game. But maybe "stupider".

  By GnNahta | Review Date: Jul 25, 2009 | DS

  Ok in this game your some star dude called starfy. So in this game the controls are really easy. So easy I don't even have to tell you what they are. This game is probably a great game...for kids. But for all you teen... Read Full Review

  Underwater Platforming Done Right

  By pierst179 | Review Date: Jul 22, 2009 | DS

  Placing the words platformers and water in the same sentence has proven to be a big mistake for developers and producers. Throughout the years many characters who achieved remarkable success – both commercially and criti... Read Full Review
