Kirby's Epic Yarn for Wii Reviews by Gamers

I had great expectations of this title. I thought it would make me smile as much as Yoshi's Island did ten years ago or even like Super Mario Galaxy 2 did just recently.

The game has cute, interesting graphics, but the music ruins it for me, as almost every song is slow and chilled out. That sort of soundtrack works for a game like Animal Crossing, but for an action platformer?

The level design is great, but there is zero challenge to them, as you can't die and most enemies don't hurt you. The levels can get slightly difficult when you try to collect everything there is to collect, but it's not worth doing so due to the shoddy rewards: 2D furniture cut-outs for your in-game pad.

Kirby's Epic Yarn is really more suitable for little kids, I suppose, and not for twenty-something year olds (Unlike New Super Mario Bros Wii or Donkey Kong Returns would be).

My son played this game and he liked it. It is great to be able to try these before going out and buying them.

Thanks Gamefly for providing this great service.
