This game is simple. Too simple. All you do is you steer with the control stick, and boost with the 'A'button. Clearly, it was designed with younger audiences in mind.Kirby can also suck up enemies and copy their ability. The controls for the game are bad, and sometimes unresponsive. There are 3 modes. They are air ride(normal racing),top ride(the camera is above and you are looking down with a bird's eye view),and city trial(go around for a few minutes collecting power ups. Then have a random race or battle after the timer expires). One of them, city trial, has you running around around a virtual city collecting powerups that are pointless for a few minutes. Then you have a random battle against something or dodging something, somewhat like the ones in super monkey ball.
This game may satisfy hardcore kirby fans, and younger children, but everyone else, I DO NOT reccomend this game.

The Stupidest game ever

Kirby is for babies. Kirby is dumb. I hate Kirby!
All you do is ride on karts.

PS Kirby is beatenable. Shadow the Hedgehog can be invisible and do chaos control (Stop Time) or chaos blast (Blow attack over 1,000,000,000 atom bombs = 1 chaos blast. The strongest bomb, you will need over 1,000,000,000,000,000 bombs to make a chaos blast)

I agree those who hate this game.
This is worth -50000000000000000000000000/5 stars

No thanks

Let me start off by saying I'm NOT one to completely bash a game/band/movie to death and then walk away, I do try to find at least one thing positive to point out. This game was pretty terrible though in my opinion. It managed to keep me somewhat entertained for about a week. The mini games were the only kinda fun part of this game, and the courses were pretty cool, but the game got boring after a week. There's just not much to do, but hey, that's why I hate almost all racing games.

Nothing to do really....

There is a reason this game gets bad reviews. Buyer Beware. Make sure you read credited reviews, they all say game is bad.

This game is for little kids. It is advertised as a one button game for a reason....little kids can play it with their eyes shut. No wonder this game has gotten such bad reviews.

City mode okay, the rest just not worth it!

Easy to use, a little too easy

Kirby's air ride is one of those games that many will only buy because it has the name "kirby" in it, a household name part of one of nintendos premiere franchise. While nintendo is not one of those develpers who make racing games, 3 will be coming out this year. F-Zero GX (great game), mario kart double dash (which is getting alot of hype) and kirby's air ride, a game that just doesn't seem like it actually came out of the nintendo camp. Like nintendo couldn't have possibly ok'd a game that uses one button. But they did and to tell you the truth this game has little going for it.

The game boasts of being a "one button game" which is basically saying we want to appeal to the younger crowd and get them involved in some of the older nintendo franchises. But after 2 days of renting the game my little brother was found playing the game, hands on the controller sleeping in front of the television set. And the 3rd day he was saying how he didnt like the game (and this is funny cause he's at that age where anything he watches that appeals to young audiances he will like no matter what - if its bad he'll like it, if its good he'll like it). This got me into playing the game. The game has terrible gameplay. Like I said before it's a one button game meaning it takes absolutley no skill to win, just knowing when to press the A button. If you know when to press A you can win. This means that I can play the game for years and years and my little brother can come up (after not playing the game in years) and whoop me cause he knew when to press A. And this doesn't just go for racing in multiplayer. In city mode you can pick up items and while picking up things (like the rocket launcher) if you pick up something it will begin a rapid fire of rockets giving you no control over where the rockets go. Why not use the Y button or the B button. This is just plain old silly, why cant you use the other 5 buttons on the GC controller to shoot a rocket, why? why? why?

Kirby's Air Ride does have a few things going for it. The graphics and the colors are nice and bright and the music is good but can get a little repetettive. Plus there are plenty of cool feaures ot unlock in one of the modes giving the game a decent amount of replay value. Something many kirby fans aren't used to (remember how quick it took to beat the last kirby game.)

Unfortunatley kirby air ride is the first GC game to support the LAN support for a GC game. This means that if you have 4 tvs, 4 gamegubes and 4 copies of the game plus an Local area network (LAN) you can play the game with 4 of your friends. This is nice but I did say unfortunatley. Unforunatley this game is so unworthy of this feature that you'd wish tht this feature came out on F-Zero GX or some other mutliplayer game on the GC.

Kirby air ride is not one of those games you would want to buy or rent. I reccomend that no matter how old you are to not think about getting this game and staying away from it

Do NOT be fooled!

Ok, this might be a good game for young kirby fans, but otherwise......

It's basically like any other fast paced unrealistic racing games (not that they're bad, i personally like FX) but the handling of the racing isnt smother or easy, and its almost impossible to get any of the cool weapons on the track. I still haven't mastered the controls completly. But multyplayer's pretty fun, so this is actually a good buy if you dont have any other 2+ games, or for first timers with the gamecube. Especially for the younger kids, IF they have the intelligence to master the controls.

Overall, it's a good game, for the younger kids (10 or under) but with anyone else older might be pushing it.
