I got this game thinking o ok this will be awesome because i've always liked Kirby. Well I put the game in and away I went. I played for like not even an hour and kinda got bored. I got really bored in the free run mode. My 4 year old nephew doesn't even like this game. The thing I do like is the controls are very easy all you use is your analog stick and your A button, can't get any easier than that. Also it is alot better if you have more than 1 player playing. I do like the part of the game is when Kirby sucks up enemies and can use different things so he doesn't slow down and he can defend himself. (Only in the racing mode). The thing I don't like is the tracks you race on are way to short. I like it but..... not the greatest game out there. Great for kids for ages 2 or 3 and want to learn how to play this would be a great game for them to start on.The graphics are really good though. Rent it first before buying.

this game is very fun! When I first played it I thought it would be dumb but its a really cool game!!! It is hard to get use to the controls but after you play a while you will get use to them. If I was trying to get someone to try a game with Kirby in it I would tell them about this one.
Greatest Kirby Game Ever!

This game is not only addicting like any Kirby game, but this game takes MUCH longer to play. This is probably the best one because of the depthness of the game. Nintendo and HAL Labs did a GREAT job on creating everything that no one can notice so well. Not only that, but there are more options of what to do then most. Other than the fact that this game is missing story all together (not that the story of ANY Kirby is that great other than Canvas Curse), its got all the Kirby everyone wants! It IS fast paced, but even little ones and older ones can enjoy it once they get past that. It is almost difficult to beat. The checklist of random things to do is pretty hard to totally check off. Some are trying to get a best time on racing, others are just having you destroy one machine while on another machine. The graphics are amazing for a GCN game. Enough said on that.
One thing that puzzles me is the genre of this game. It's a racing game. Sure, but that's hardly ANYTHING!! It's more of the genre of, well, Kirby! No other way to explain it! There is a mode on this game that gives the harder core gamers what they want. City Trial. This requires you to-within in the time limit-get as many power ups as you can before the stadium event to come afterwords. This is random. Could be anything from a race, to an all out battle with your opponents!
This is a game that should be on every gamers shelf. The greatness of Kirby, plus something else that has never been there before (I don't know what) makes this the GREATEST Kirby game that has been created to date!

Kirby air ride was a fun game to play. I like the different air ride machines. I like Kirby because you can change his colors. Racing is hard and challenging. In free run at the city trial is where you can change your air ride machine. The whole game is about Kirby racing. I love this game!

In Kirby Air Ride, You get to play in Air Ride, Top Ride, and City Trials mode.
In Air Ride, you race along different courses on Popstar and the courses are Fantasy Meadows, Celestial Valley, Sky Sands, Frozen Hillside, Magma Flows, Beanstalk Park, Machine Passage, Checker Knights, and Nebula Belt (that's in Outer Space). Inhale enemies (expect Scarfy and Gordo) to get them out of your way and acquire the abilities of some.
In Top Ride, you race in a 2-D race and use items to help you out or fight your rivals since their are no copy abilities.
In City Trials, you race on a city island (look for an appearance of Whispy Woods) and collect a lot of items before taking it out in the stadium against you rivals. But there are events in the city like the Rail Stations on fire, incoming meteors, Dynablade, TAC stealing the items, a UFO with items on it, fake items, bouncing items, same items in boxes, the city lighthouse turning on, Air Ride machine engines going out of control, and Air Ride formation.
You also get to play as Meta-Knight (his cape turned into wings) and King Dedede on a Wheelie. But you have to unlock them in Air Ride and City Trials first.
Omg!

Here's the schpiel: If you love Nintendo-brand games, you're likely to be a fan of this one as well. It's something I'd refer to as 'alternative kart racing with a twist.' The controls have a pretty steep learning curve, but once you get the hang of it, it's very hard to stop playing. I agree with other reviewers, this game could have been better if more than one button control had been used, but it still shines in its own right. More traditional kart racing fans are encouraged to try Mario Kart: Double Dash or Crash Nitro Kart.
For: Nintendo and Kirby fans
Not for: fans of traditional kart racing games.
Well, what do you think?
