The Pinkster Returns With New Attacks

When Nintendo released word on Kirby, the little rubber-esque pink ball that can suck in enemies (but you should know that) would be on N64, I flipped. This game is the funkiest Kirby game yet. In one instance, the Kirby trend will start to rise, and *POOF!* the trend will peak again. In the game, you can do the classic: suck up enemies, use their attacks, and fly. But a new feature has been added: the ability to mix two attacks. You can suck up enemies in all sorts of ways to help whip down the enemies. Kirby may very well become a popular name again.

AWESOME

kirby 64 is completly awesome good graphics great story and kirby has 28 attacks to use with 25 levels and five worlds kirby should make the right summer title for you Some call it a puffball, some call it a marshmallow, but most people prefer to simply call it Kirby! Kirby has the amazing power to inhale enemies, acquire their attacks, then unleash them in brilliant new ways. Help Kirby and friends valiantly fight to save the peaceful fairy folk of Ripple Star from the marauding Dark Matter.

Kirby has done it again, but this is the very best Kirby game in the world! The new attack,"Darth Kirby", is the ultimate move! If you liked the other Kirby games, after you play this you'll be saying, "What's Kirby's Dream Course?"

Kirby 64 Review

Hello. I recently purchased Kirby 64: The Crystal Shards. In fact, I purchased it less than 24 hours ago, and I have already beaten the game. This includes finding all 100 Crystal Shards. Although I thought the game had a great story and amazing graphics, it was just to short. I believe that they could have put much more to the story, and made many more levels. Don't get me wrong, this is now one of my favorite titles, but just be prepared for an all-nighter.

Kirby returns!

Ever since the debut of Kirby for Nintendo Game Boy in 1992, I've been a major fan. With his Game Boy sequel, an SNES sequel and countless, excellent spin-offs (Block Ball, Pinball, and my favorite, Dream Course), I am glad Nintendo has not forgot about our favorite creampuff.

Like a good majority of all the other Kirby games, this one is easy. It is a 2 and a half d platformer, and remains faithful to the originals. There is no analog control sadly, but the d-pad holds up quite well. There is rumble pack support too.

The level design is very good, and the graphics are really colorful and pastel like. I am a huge fan of 2.5d games, but what annoys me about this one, there are no branching paths, say, as the Playstation masterpiece Klonoa. Oh well, it's still good and entertaining.

Kirby, of course, can still eat enemies. But this time, he has a ton of new abilities. The best part about this feature though, which has made Kirby games so classic, is that you can now combine any two abilities to make a totally new one. This is a very nice touch, and is very enjoyable and adds a lot more to the game. Sadly though, Kirby doesn't change into costumes that much like previous installments...

The game has some great movie sequences (cinemas), which tells the story. These are incredibly bright and fun to view, as is the story is very good. Some are serious moments, others are comical. For each one you see, it becomes unlocked in the movie theater section of the game.

The game, despite it's difficutly, boasts good replay value. In order to complete the game 100%, you must find crystal shards. Some are easy to find, and others are very well hidden... and you'll have to think on how to get to them (i.e., which abilities to use out of the dozens of combos). Also, there are 81 character cards to collect, which add more as well.

That's not all! There are three, three really addiciting mini-games, not that stupid Pokemon Stadium stuff! These games are just as enjoyable as the actual game, and I wish there were more. It can support up to four players, as well as computer opponents on four difficulties: easy, normal, hard and intense!. "Checkerboard Chess", has you scrambling around a checkerboard, blasting the floor beneath your enemies and to make them run out of all their lives. Another involves you hopping across a path avoiding obstacles, and finally, you must capture fruit from a falling tree, while trying to steal oncoming pieces from your rivals.

If you're a Kirby fan, this game is a must for you. Even though it is a tad easy, and I feel it is missing a little something, the replay value is surprisingly good and the mini-games rank right up there with Mario Party, maybe even better. Hopefully Nintendo will keep the Kirby franchise alive... I wish they'd release some merchandise for him. It's only been eight years since he's been on the market and in the hearts of games.

First things first; Kirby megalomaniacs waited too long for this game. Now, for the review. This is an overall great game that shouldn't be pushed aside by gamers who think they are too cool to play with the lil' Pink Guy. Young people can simply play the game through and have fun, while older gamers can get the hidden crystal shards on their quest. Included is 3 fun four player mini-games that can keep you busy, a card collecting sytem thet has the games baddies on them, and a lush "two and a half d" environment. The main part of the one player mode is kirby's transformations. Mixing bomb, fire, spike, ice, spark, cutter, and stone, there is more than 30 different kirbys to be, and also vehicle rides too. Anyone can find something to enjoy in this game.

Easy to play side-scroller

Kirby returns in a big way in this new N64 game. While it is mainly aimed at kids, it is an all-around fun game that is easy to get into and start playing.

The graphics are colorful and cute, and Kirby is busy eating everything in sight. This game is a true side scroller that fails to break any new ground, but it is still a worthwhile purchase.
