Kirby: Canvas Curse is an excellent DS game that completely changes Kirby gameplay, but stays true to every other Kirby game created. It is one of the best games out for DS as of right now. The new Kirby game is entirely touch screen based, so if you've been waiting for a DS game that makes good use of the touch screen, then this is the game you've been waiting for. In Kirby: Canvas Curse, a witch turns everything into paintings and turns Kirby into a ball by removing his limbs. That's where the touch screen becomes so useful. You need to use the stylus to draw paths for Kirby so he can make it through the level. You have no direct control of Kirby, other than to do a Dash attack and Special Absorbed attacks. You need to use the stylus to draw bridges, draw ramps, and even walls that can protect Kirby from projectiles. The graphics are actually quite pleasing. They aren't 3-D graphics like most games today, but they are very good and suit this game very well. Also, the sound is great, and once again, really suits this game. While you go through the game, there are Medals hidden throughout every level. The Medals allow you to buy extra stuff such as songs, trails, and vitality boosts. After you play through the game with Kirby, you are able to use other characters. You are automatically given the character Waddle Dee, but you are allowed to buy 2 other characters with the Medals. These characters are King DeDeDe and Meta Knight. After you play through the whole game with those characters, you are given another character, Waddle Doo. In other words, if you want to get everything out of this game, you'll have to play through it five times. But that necessarily isn't a bad thing. It gives a lot of replay value to this game. Those are most of the basics of the game without giving too much away. Kirby: Canvas Curse truly is a great game, and one of the best ones out for DS right now. Do yourself a favor and pick this game up as soon as you can. You won't regret it.
