RE: Kirby's Return to Dream Land
This game is really tedious and uninteresting. It's basically just a generic platformer so far, and after playing for about 30 minutes with my girlfriend we both just got bored and gave up. It is no Epic Yarn.

Might be fun with 4 people, but I just think it'd be cluttered.

Bosses require absolutely zero skill or thought.

Oh look at how she listens... She says nothing of what she thinks.
She just goes stumbling through her memories staring out onto Grey Street.
But she thinks, "Hey... How did I come to this? I dreamed myself a million times around the world but I can't get out of this place."
There's an emptiness inside her and she'd do anything to fill it in.
And though its red blood bleeding from her now, it felt like cold blue ice in her heart.
When all the colors mix together to grey, and it breaks her heart...

How she wishes it was different... She prays to God almost every night.
And though she swears He doesn't listen, there's a hope in her that he just might.
She says "I pray! Oh, but they fall on deaf ears... Am I supposed to take it on myself to get out of this place?"

RE: Kirby's Return to Dream Land
I've heard a lot of good things about the game, and it's gotten good reviews, so I wouldn't base my entire view of a game on one guy's opinion.
It apparently gets harder later on, so eh.
I finally have a sig, just to show off this awesome thing Guy drew me.

Oh I guess TKGB made this for me two years ago but I never put it in my sig. I guess it's here now.

Played it for a while. I have mixed feelings about it - It's cool, good Kirby Superstar-like gameplay and all but also feels more of the same. I'll need to play it some more before passing judgement.

RE: Kirby's Return to Dream Land
Welp, I did a quick play of the first world (and I mean quick; it took about 20-30 minutes at most). It seems to be a simple amalgamation of several other Kirby games, featuring Kirby Super Star's ability system, a few level and world design things taken from Kirby Nightmare in Dreamland, and the collection aspect of Kirby 64. Level designs are pretty straightforward; you literally can just run through the first 4 levels.

Of course, I'm not sure 4 levels and fight against Whispy (please don't say this is a spoiler, because if you know Kirby at all, you know Whispy is the first boss) is enough to judge the whole game (and if it were, I'd say it's a decent Kirby game, fairly mindless as it is). Though, it is certainly the easiest first world I've ever played. There also really is that feel of "same old same old" that has been around since KatAM.

@Dazz, really, all main Kirby games are pretty generic platformers.

Even though this game is pretty easy, I'm still enjoying it.

RE: Kirby's Return to Dream Land
I beat the game and let me tell you, it gets better, much better, starting around world 5... uh, I'm not going into details, just trust me, it's worth getting at least that far.


Also, Ice world has a neat little DK reference.


EDIT- Final boss fight, imo, was amazing, hands down one of my favorite boss fights ever, especially without abilities.

HA! You saw that? Yeah that's what made me think of mentioning DKCR. This game is just reminding me how much better that game is.

It still doesn't stop me from loving this one though. It's good for what it is and I enjoy it dearly.

RE: Kirby's Return to Dream Land
I think this game is better when you ignore the gear things. I mean, trying to get them is a pain as you constantly have to switch to another ability, and there usually isn't any flexibility with it. You either have this exact ability or you don't get the gear (not always, but fairly often). It's more fun to just play through without stressing over them.

RE: Kirby's Return to Dream Land
Hm not for me. The reason I love DKCR is two things: Challenge and Atmosphere. Kirby has very little compared to DKCR.
