91With fantastic level designs, great enemies and power-ups, as well as the addition of some fun and entertaining multiplayer modes, Kirby is a must have.
-
A touch on the short and easy side, but other than that you're looking at a remake of a wonderful classic made far better by incredible graphics and presentation, as well as numerous extras and multiplayer features.
-
90The saccharine score is standard Nintendo fare; it will creep into your psyche and have you humming at random intervals throughout the day.
-
My point is this: Kirby good. Me like. You buy. All happy. [Jan 2003, p.122]
-
The graphics are astounding, the levels are very clever.
-
85But keep in mind that there's a lot of discovery and, yes, a little strategy in order to complete the game 100%, and you'll want to do that to get the "extra" something.
-
The extreme fun will end with a short trek but you'll get true gaming bliss during the process.
-
Lots of cool villain-mimicking moves and a collection of beautiful backgrounds make the game fun to play and great to watch. [Dec 2002, p.220]
-
83The three hours or so it took me to finish were incredibly fun, with not one ounce of tedium or monotony anywhere to be found - a rarity these days. [Jan 2003, p.64]
-
80A remake of the NES classic. [Feb 2003, p.97]
-
Finishing the game takes just a few hours, and after you're done, there's little incentive to play again... Still great fun and better than most platformers out there. [Jan 2003, p.210]
-
A really great Kirby game that looks great, plays well and sounds nice, but is far too short for its own good.
-
80Better than most platformers out there...The only beef we have with this title is that it's too dang short. [Spring 2003, p.35]
-
I will warn you that you can beat this in an afternoon. Take your time and go for the prizes.
-
79Makes up for its simplistic gameplay and brief quest with a great deal of variety.
-
The execution of NID is spot on – you can't fault it for any control issues or presentation – and it's totally inoffensive and suitable for kids.
-
75Far from perfect, but features some of the best elements in a game that I've seen in a long time.
-
75The graphics are one of the best parts about the game. The backgrounds are absolutely gorgeous, and the animations have all been re-worked.
-
72Unless you want a mega-dose of pink cotton candy, you'll likely be bored stiff.
-
70Unfortunately though we can't really see Kirby's latest adventure lasting anybody for particularly long, multiplayer games and secret hunting notwithstanding.
-
70While it's admittedly too easy and a little simplistic in structure (albeit with plenty of extras to unlock), it's nevertheless ideal for young ones or anyone looking for an easy-going few hours.
-
70Kirby is over far too quick, but it's a decent romp while it lasts, and one that I wouldn't mind playing through again.
-
A short-lived romp through vibrant, sugary sweet worlds that will leave players -- much like its pink protagonist -- with an insatiable hunger for more.
-
60It's a short run-through -- especially if you don't seek out the secrets -- and probably won't test the skills of experienced gamers.
