A remake of a classic, which oddly, is also a classic.
Ah, Kirby: Nightmare in Dream land. Such a wonderfully designed game. This was one of the first games I ever played on the ol' Game Boy Advance. Those were the days....The days when Fighter was called Backdrop, the days when UFO was the best ability (not anymore!) and the days when Kirby kicked butt. Let's review this gem, shall we?
First, a little background. This game was released on December the 2'd, 2002. This game is a remake of the legendary Kirby's Adventure for the NES. This game was pretty much the same, except for a few minor changes, like new mini-games, updated sound and graphics, portability, and more.
Graphics: 10.
If you've ever played this, you know how good the graphics are. They set the standard for Kirby graphics all the way until Super Star Ultra. The backgrounds look so real! The Kirby sprite is the most popular for fan-based games, mostly because it isn't to big, isn't too small, and is just the right kind of pink. This is why I gave the graphics a 10.

Depth: 7. This is a tricky one. In order to get 100% on the game, you must beat all of the levels, AND press all of the switches in levels that stay red after you beat them. Even though after you beat the game you might have to go back to levels to get a hundred percent, there isn't tha... Read the rest of this Review
