    With its impeccable balance of difficulty, satisfyingly simple level design, and insurmountable overload of squishy charm, Return to Dream Land provides a platform experience that comes as close to perfect as one can get...Videogames simply do not get any more pure than Kirby's Return to Dream Land.

    Kirby's Return to Dreamland is the game die-hard fans have been waiting for for years. Though recent bouts have found the series moving in more of an experimental direction, the traditional Kirby game is what gamers will always want the series to revert back to.

    Newest addition to the Kirby franchise feels once again fresh and new. The mix of platformer and ancient Lemmings works like a charm and the game design is well balanced. This game truly is a proper testament for the aging DS. [Dec 2011]

    Kirby's Adventure Wii is already way too easy when played alone and challenge becomes virtually non-existant when someone else joins Kirby in his quest. Probably designed as a family game for kids, this new platform fails to deliver anything special or worth of notice other than enjoyable but overall lacking visuals.

    Its a fun, simple platforming game just like in the 90s. If you didn't like Kirby games back then, you probably wont like this one as well. It isn't a game that is suppose to frustrate you or test your skills as a gamer, it is a game that is just pure fun to play, especially if you can get a couple of friends to come over and play multiplayer… Expand

    It's **** Kirby, what do you expect? Tanks and helicopters flying through the air? It's brilliant, and bringing it back to the original ways. I just love it.… Expand

    Kirby's Return to Dreamland is a return to the normal Kirby gameplay from the 1990s. This game includes a combination of gameplay elements from Kirby's Adventure (NES), Kirby SuperStar (SNES) and Kirby 64 (N64). Fans will surely live through this nostalgic train and will enjoy the amazing graphics and music which was implemented in the game. The graphics scheme is similar to 2010's DKC Returns and the music is heavily influenced by the older kirby games as it includes alot of the old tracks remixed. Storyline wise its nothing special, but its a Nintendo game, you shouldnt be worried about the story but the gameplay is where this game truly shines. If your a old kirby fan, you will surely love this and will forget about the mess that Epic Yarn was.… Expand

    Kirby is back in Dreamland and the game runs exactly like a Kirby game should run. The improvement over Crystal Shards on the N64 is not much unfortunately. At times it becomes repetitive and certain areas feel empty. The difficulty level could be raised at least another bar as well.… Expand
