Kirby Kirby Kirby he's the guy you should know! Kirby Kirby! Kir-...Wait, no time for that. Its time for another review!

Kirby's Return To Dreamland. Its a really fun game. It took 12 years to make, so it better be phenomenal, right?! Well...Sort of. The game is basically Kirby's Super Star, in terms of gameplay. Only with 3D character models, and a new story. Oh, and some super copy abilities!


OVERALL: 9
This is a pretty decent game overall. The only major problem was I thought it was a bit too easy. But everyone needs to play a nice easy game every now and then. The multiplayer is pretty fun too! Having all four Kirbys (Kirbies?) running around, or one Kirby, Meta Knight, King Dedede, and a (particularly awesome) Waddle Dee. Or any combination of those. Everything about the game is just so cheery and fun, well, the final boss is kind of a jerk, but outside him, it is.

GRAPHICS: 9
The game looks pretty good. The animations are smooth too. They put a lot of effort into the backgrounds, which makes the levels seem all that much better. They stand pretty fair among other Wii titles. Not the greatest, but better than most.

SOUND: 9
I know this rating is a bit high, but lots of the music is stuck in my head. Anyway, the background music is pretty good. Some would say its a bit simple, but I like simple sometimes. The sound effects are mainly taken straight from Kirby's Super Star, but with a few new effects for the copy abilities that weren't in Super Star, like Whip, Water, and all the Mega Copy Abilities. The bosses have sounds all their own also.

ADDICTIVENESS: 7
This game is pretty fun, good enough to carry you through a playthrough or three. And there are minigames and bonuses that will make you want to keep playing. But, sadly, the game can get stale if you play long enough. But its fun while it lasts.

STORY: 7
The story isn't TOO complex. There are a few decent plot twists along the way though. Basically, the story is that Kirby was hanging around. Racing Dedede and Bandana Waddle Dee, while Meta Knight reads a book, in full armor. And then A GIANT SPACESHIP COMES OUT OF NOWHERE AND JUST BARELY CRASHES INTO THEM!!! AAAAAHHHHHHH!1! But Kirby, being the unstoppable puffball he is, fearlessly goes into the ship to see what's up. There he meets Magolor, who tells Kirby that he's from the planet Halcandra. And his ship is named the Lor Starcutter. And in the crash, the Lor has lost all 120 power spheres, and all the important parts of the ship! Without them he can't get home. Kirby, always happy to help, offers to get the spheres back for him. And all the others agree also. But how did the ship crash in the first place? Why is one of the bosses a Goku parody? What's with the portals to another dimension opening up everywhere?
Spoiler:
I'd tell you, but it seems I wasn't supposed to put spoilers in the reviews. :V


DEPTH: 7
The game isn't really all that deep. A few levels have some pretty well hidden secrets though, and getting all the power spheres involves going a different way through some levels. But sadly, there aren't very many of them. But the amount of attacks each copy ability has is pretty impressive when you think about it. The depth, or lack of depth at times, makes it by no means a bad game. There's a New Game + mode on this, after you beat the game, it gives you the option to replay the game, with a few more challenges.

DIFFICULTY: 8
Well, its not the easiest game I've ever played. But it can be pretty smooth sailing if you know what you're doing. But, unlike Donkey Kong Country Returns, or New Super Mario Brothers, this revival of a side scroller series won't offer to let the game beat itself for you if you die too many times. So its not the easiest thing out there if you really are having trouble with it. There is also a New Game + mode on it, once you beat the game, you get to do it again, only everything becomes much harder. There is also an unlockable Arena Mode. Where you fight all of the bosses, and minibosses. And there is a True Arena, where you fight the bosses and minibosses from New Game +, an extra final boss, and a surprise fight with a fan favorite.

I wonder what the character limit on this thing is.

A user of this : This was a good review!  And nice reference to the TV show  I agree with the "9" rating.  Had there been a challenge room for every copy ability, I might give this a "10".  I'd like to add that although it's fair to compare this game to a game like Super Mario Galaxy 1/2 (I think that's why this game got a 79 on Metacritic), Kirby is a different sort of platformer, and although it's low on challenge overall, it's like the Scribblenauts of platformers.  You can mess around with the abilities, finding your favorites, and having lots of fun.  Plus, you can play with up to 3 friends!

But you left some pretty important things out, and made a mistake.  First of all, Magolor needs the ship parts to get home, not the power spheres.  The power spheres simply unlock rooms in the ship, such as the challenge rooms and the mini-games.  Also, once you add in the difficult challenge rooms, the New Game + (with harder bosses, more difficult "Star Vortexes", and more damage taken), and The Arena/The True Arena, the challenge is more like a "7", in my opinion.  Add to that the mini games, and there's a lot of replayability to be had from the game.  I'd say the depth is more of an "8" or so.  Again, it falters when compared to Super Mario Galaxy 1/2.  But since there are so many abilities, there's a lot of crazy fun to be had, especially in the Arenas.  It's a blast trying to beat your best time in the Arenas, and there's a great since of accomplishment when you beat The True Arena.  I haven't beaten it yet, but I'm close.  The Arenas, in my opinion, are the highlights of the game.  The Arenas could easily work as a standalone game on the eshop.

Anyhoo, you did a good job.  You just left out/forgot a few things.  Hope to see more from you in the future!

supernerd117 : Oh, thanks man. I totally forgot about that stuff. I went back and fixed it a bit more. ^^;
I LOVE the Arena modes! I play them a lot. And I liked that comparison to it being the Scribblenauts of platformers. Thanks for the feedback.

A user of this : Really good review User, there were some parts I think you could've went into more detail in but for the most part everything was was well written and described nicely. I'm not sure if this is something you might like to do but maybe you could put an ending for the review under the difficulty section since it just seems to end (just a personal opinion) but it's your review not mine so don't take this last part into fact as it's just a preference. Keep it up User!
