Kirby and the Rainbow Curse Review

User Rating: 7 | Kirby and the Rainbow Curse WIIU

Kirby and the Rainbow Curse is a gorgeous game which makes good use of the Wii U game-pad.

Story

The story behind Kirby and the Rainbow Curse is a cute tale, but doesn't offer many cut-scenes or details as to whats going on, its more or less a backdrop for you to paint with your stylus and progress through the levels. Its unfortunate that the story is not fleshed out more and that no characters were really introduced or explained.

Graphics/Presentation

The art direction in this game is phenomenal, and the use of clay modeled effects works wonders, as everything looks like it was handcrafted. The textures are smooth and it truly is a unique one of a kind design that i have never seen before. Also the presentation was good as expected from a Nintendo game, as i experienced no frame-rate dips or slowdowns throughout my playthrough.

Gameplay

This is one of the few Wii U games that makes great use of the Game-pad, and i found that it was a very intuitive and fun design with the stylus that overall worked well. There are some clunky moments when drawing the ropes but this was not the case often.

Overall Kirby and the Rainbow Curse is a fun, unique, and gorgeous game that makes good use of what the tablet like game-pad has to offer. Although the story is nothing special and can be completed within 10 or so hours, its an enjoyable adventure and its unique approach and style makes it worth a try.
