I've only played Starfy for like maybe an hour' or so last night and I must say that it's a pretty good game so far. To me some parts don't have that Nintendo polish that I'm accustomed to (a very small potion). The full motion video for instance is really cruddy, not only the video quality itself but more so the actual action that takes place in the video. They could've told a better story in the cut scenes through 3-D cel-shaded models like the one's that show up in "dress-up" portion of the game. That's were you can customize 3D version of Starfy and his sister with clothes and accessories you find throughout the game (it's pretty cool). The game play is a bit relaxed; I like it like that, though. In my old age (I'm almost 36) my "gaming tastes" have mellowed. I'm a former "DieHard" Nintendo fanatic but I'm still a huge fan of Nintendo and they're games (the NES days were the best). I've just aged gracefully in my gaming years I guess; I've let go of all but my platformer and puzzle games like The NEW Super Mario Bros., Super Princess Peach, Yoshi Island, Henry Hatsworth and Meteos just to name a few. This game is very relaxed and calm. There is no real stress that I've seen so far. People have compared it to Kirby. It does feel a little like Kirby Squeak Squad to me (another great DS game). The 3D backgrounds mesh very well with the hand-drawn foreground (though I wish the 3D portions had that cel-shaded look you see else where, it would've looked even better. So, if you like Kirby games then you'll probably like this one as well. If you haven't played one of them see if you can find a GameStop with a used copy and ask them to let you sample it to see if you like it. Or if they won't let you do that, just buy it and try it out right there in the store then ask for you money back (I say just keep it, it's good too). I can't tell you very much about the game since I'm not very far into it but I wanted to put something up since there are only 2 reviews here so far. Read IGN's they speak highly of it, and rightly so.… Expand

an underwater Kirby, who can hold his own. 9/10 For sure.

This game provides solid, wonderful, and cute platforming fun. I can not recommend enough. On the surface it seems like a cutesy simple platformer, but as you get further the difficulty level goes up and it becomes a fun challenge. This game is really awesome!

Really solid game, though obviously targeted at a demographic about 10 years younger than me. Good gameplay, acceptable graphics (nothing groundbreaking but no glitches). I actually enjoyed playing it, which is more than I can say for a lot of current games. It's just really f'ing easy.

This game makes me wanna play it over and over again! The cute characters and the funny animals are so cool, i just want to explode. If you like kirby, donkey kong, mario, anything like that; you will LOVE starfy. i thoroughly enjoyed this game and hope it continues to shine.

When I first started playing this game it was very exciting but after a while it kinda gets boring. The graphics are pretty good and I have to admit that Starfy is very cute. If you have some spare time before bed and just want to play a cute little Kirby type game just to chill out with pick this up for sure. I've had tons of fun with this game.

This game is a little on the easy side an is obviously targeted at a younger audience, but don't let that shy away you from this great platformer. The comic-book cutscenes are neat, and the graphics are colorful.

This is a great game and Nintendo's best kept secret. I really hope the other 4 get localized or at the very least someone brave soul composes a fan translation. The marine platform concept is a joy and the characters are so fun to follow. The comic book cutscenes were fantastic and gave it a very unique flair. Please go out and support this franchise!
