Kirby Mass Attack for Nintendo DS Reviews by Gamers

For whatever the reason, Nintendo doesn't seem to be taking Kirby in exactly the right direction just yet. Our last two Kirby games were both good, but not what we were hoping for. Kirby's Epic Yarn was a good game, but it was still dumbed down. This game is good as well, but it's also different from what you'd expect. But we have Kirby's Return to Dreamland on the way, so why not give this a try to hold you over? Kirby Mass Attack is a fun and unique take on Kirby. It replaces a lot of the traditional Kirby elements with the strategic element of Pikmin. It feels a little awkward at first, but once you warm up to it, it's a very satisfying experience. You start off with only one Kirby, in this state you can barely do anything. When you collect 100 fruit, you get another Kirby. The more Kirbys you have, the more things you can do. It's easier to fight enemies, weight down switches, and collect more fruit to get more Kirbys. Although many people would rather play a so-called "proper" Kirby game like Kirby's Return to Dreamland, I think it's nice to see Kirby take a different path. Most people just want to see the same game remade over and over again. Nintendo likes to change things up a little to keep it fresh, that's what makes them great. I'm still looking forward to Kirby's Return to Dreamland, but I still consider Kirby Mass Attack a welcome addition to the series.
