NWR: Kirby's Epic Yarn Review

NWR writes: "Kirby's Epic Yarn, the new platformer from Wario Land: Shake It! developers Good Feel, is not the hardest game you'll ever play. There's a challenge, but the challenge lies more in collecting all the hidden trinkets and getting a good score than making difficult jumps and avoiding getting a game over. Most gamers will not struggle to beat this game, but that in no way means they should skip what is one of the most imaginative and jaw-dropping platformers in recent memory. What Epic Yarn lacks in challenge, it makes up for in inventiveness and creativity."

Never played Kirby before but I am getting this. I dont play much on the Wii. Me and my partner play the sports games etc every now and then. But I play the core titles. I know the no death bit sounds a bit lame, but actually this can be good, If you ever played LBP you will know some of the best levels for a platformer are the ones where you cant really die, not that theres anything bad about the ones where you do. And actually this would mean my partner will get into this a lot more, which is good because she really wants to play this game too but hates dying all the time

[Neckbear]

You can't die. It might result frustrating for some, but man, I love dying and having to repeat things from the start.

That's just me, I like challenge. I'm sure I'll still enjoy it, but I'd enjoy it more if it was somewhat...hard.

Not like other Kirby games have had remarkable challenge, though, they were easy as pie, as well.

Looks like there could be another definite GOTY contender to be had for this year. Definatly gonna keep my eye on this when the big influx of reviews for it come out.

[BannedForNineYears]

Flawp!!111

[saoco]

there are certain wii games that make me wanna own one but... one system is enough especially with a job like mines that demands me to stay physically fit and a family.

[limewax]

No UK release date at all yet? that sucks a bit, but I dont have the money to buy it yet anyway but all the releases seem to state AFTER christmas....Surely that will lose out on a lot of sales?

[arthurdaily]

GOTY.

[stuntman_mike]

I'm so happy now that we're in the holiday season and the lineup that Nintendo revealed at E3 is starting to come to fruition. Kirby: Epic Yarn, Goldeneye, Donkey Kong Country Returns, etc. Can't wait for Kirby and cannot wait for Donkey Kong Country Returns. Bringing back memories of christmas past on the N64. Goldeneye, Kirby, Donkey Kong, good childhood memories.
