Do you remember the days when computer games were simple, didn't require use of a motion controller, multiple complicated button pressing, but a 2D platform could keep you happily entertained for hours without being ridiculously difficult? No? Well you must be younger than me (not hard) - kids it's time to get back to basics and enter the wonderful world of Kirby with a game that will delight you with its beauty, entertain and thrill you and, what's more achieve the feat of making a game that makes the wii do more than I ever thought was possible. Quite simply this is a great game. Kirby is, apparently, one of Nintendo's long established ...  Read the complete review

My sister was given this game for her birthday as she tends to love cute things, and when my mum and me spotted this game, we thought she'd love it. I didn't really know too much about Kirby before buying this, but my friend who loves these kind of things would tell me about other Kirby games and how much she loved them. We bought it preowned at about £20, so £10 cheaper than we would have usually paid for it. I thought this was a great price to have paid for it, as it has kept my whole family entertained for ages. Unlike the other Wii games, from the party minigames to the 3d platformers, Kirby is a nice change from all of these, providing players with great, ...  Read the complete review

When my other half came home with this game she proclaimed 'it was cheap, it's a two player co-op and it looked quite fun'. She then followed it with the often dangerous phrase (in my experience anyway) 'OK - so I took a bit of a chance on it'. She had paid £15 for it second hand. Another game soon to be destined for the 'trade-in' drawer I thought... But how wrong was I? This is a little gem of a game, glued together by the most imaginative storyline I've seen for a while and told in a manner which is as equally original and delightful. The whole thing provoked a sense of being back in your childhood, with the narrator's voice and dialogue coming straight ...  Read the complete review

Kirby's fame nowadays comes from Nintendo's popular Smash Bros. series, but as a standalone character can quite easily be shuffled into the childish and colourful simplicity that keeps a few certain demographic groups from taking interest in him at all. It's not that I'd directly recommend Kirby to a gamer obsessed with war based shooters or big-eye based Japanese RPG's anyway, but I understand that the typical argument of "there's a good game under the childish exterior" doesn't really matter to most. The point is that Kirby's first (and most likely only) Wii game knows exactly what it is, and does it pretty well. If you won't enjoy it, you know this ...  Read the complete review

I have two children aged 6 & 4 that both love to play on the Wii but were getting bored of the Sports Resort, so i bought them Kirby's Epic Yarn 2 weeks ago. They love it, if they could play it 24/7 they would. There are two main characters in the game, Kirby and Prince Fluff. The aim of the game is to navigate your way around Patch Land finding 7 pieces of yarn to restore Patch Land, which has been split up into several pieces by Yin-Yarn, the evil sorcerer. There are various levels to the game with plenty of objects to be collected. Separate mini games are also included in order to finish the mission, ie. Zeke's hide and seek. The soundtrack and ...  Read the complete review
