Kirby's Epic Yarn - IGN REVIEW - (9.0) - 6 HOUR SP!!

http://uk.wii.ign.com/articles/112/1128257p1.html

9.0 / 10 (On IGN's new 0.5 scale)

Apparently its a very easy and accesible game (apparently no difficulty changes either), so Ninty are probably hoping that it will be a 'bridge' type game for casuals to swallow up, similar to NSMB Wii.

Impressive score, but at 6 hours, I will definately not be getting this at full price. Heres hoping DKC will be 2x longer for me to consider picking up (it's looking like the superior platformer atm IMHO)

6 hours is pretty reasonable

its a baby game with little challenge

most of the experienced players will blaze through it.

Another great score.

Congrats for Kirby. I dont own a Wii but Im a fan of the past Kirby games. Its good to see him back.

Well it's longer than Vanquish LOL, but just like that game, it's too short to warrant buying it day one for me. Thank goodness for rental services!

That's like longer than all the other Kirby games :P

So if I really loved all the other Kirby games then that means I'll really really love this Kirby game I assume.

Thats pretty long for a Kirby game, I mean KSS can be beaten in a couple of hours.

6 hours sounds about right for a Kirby game. Slightly more than i was expecting even.

This will be a nice 2011 drought title for me.

Wow, was expecting an 8.0 or 8.5, what with the lack of Kirby's inhale ability and all. I'll probably get this game now.

Sounds alot like every other Kirby.... with the exception of Amazing Mirror. The confusion I faced in that game made it last hours more.

Aside from the art style I don't really see much special about this game.Zero5000X

aside from the fact that the gameplay actually goes hand in hand with the graphics?

which cant be said for the most games released this gen...

Well of course... it's 9GN.

Didn't a bunch of sheep get offended when pepole said this could be a PS3/360 DL? I think i've spent more than 6 hours on a number of PS3 downloads...

they gave it 6 hours with a tons of replayablity. Who only plays a Mario level one time? [spoiler] nobody [/spoiler] LaytonsCat

I'm between this, DKCR and Epic Mickey, and so far, it's been a hard decision, i was sure to get this one, but i think i'll wait for a price drop, so far, Epic Mickey looks like the game to get this holiday on Wii, then again, DK could have the final word.

Because they base what is considered a downloadable title by the time it takes to complete?

Guess Modern Warfare should have been a DL title. I beat that game in 3 hours.

Kirby has no MP of any kind, and while people have said that this is pretty standard for a Kirby game, it still doesnt encourage me to buy this game full price :/ Although I agree that basing the purchase of a game PURELY on length is wrong, I still feel cheated when an SP game ends so quickly.

I see game longevity is the bashing point of today. Great score.

agreed, thats why LBP got its AAA, even if it was broken

well considering how cows hate "crappy controls" it should have been an issue, especially when you add the 2D thing..

8.0 at best. And probably less if it was released on the wii that has higher standards for platformers. It would have had to compete with SMG

Another critically acclaimed Nintendo game. What else is new. Nintendo has been on fire this year with the GOTY Galaxy 2, Sin and Pun 2, and now Kirby (with Metroid Other M being the exception) DKCR is up next.Oh and GS will give Kirby a 7.5. Im calling it right now.

Meh I am more worried about the difficulty than the length. So it is really easy? I heard you can't die in this game.

Indeed. Is this whole "can't die" thing sounds kinda lame to me...unless it's handled like how it was in a Wario land game or something.

6 hours is supposed to be impressive?

People have the nerve to rag on LBP's single player. At least it was challenging and lengthy and allows players to continue the adventure with create mode. Bread_or_Decide

lol the SP was easy as hell and short. We breezed through that in an afternoon. It was pretty crappy too.

Crappy in regards to what other users made online. LBP user levels has been some of the most fun ive had this gen. I was playing a resort level with my friends yesterday and it was unbelievably well made. Games like LBP and KZ2 have been favourites of mine partly because of how uniquly they control. Its a shame seeing people interpret that as broken.

I know this whole post is OT but anyone else out there that has LBP1 but has no desire to get LBP2? Its not that it looks bad, i just feel really content with the first game.

hakanakumono

Well, for a Kirby game I guess it is.

Platformers aren't generally super long experiences, and the longevity of them comes from replayability. Mario platformers aren't really long games, but they still get plenty of play time from me due to me going back to them due to how much fun they are.

We aren't talking about RPGs here.

^ this. But since I love Kirby, I might end up buying it even though it doesn't seem to feel like a Kirby game at all :S
