Kirby's Adventure

To start with, I'll have to admit that I love Kirby games. The first Kirby game I played was Kirby's Dreamland and it was cool enough! Next I played Kirby's Adventure and it was mind blowing! The ability to suck in a baddie and take over it's power was an incredible idea. That's why I'm happy to say this...

What could have been the best platform game on the NES is tarnished by ease of play. However Kirby is arguably the best character on the NES ever!

First you draw a circle, then you dot the eyes. Add a great big smile and presto, it's Kirby! Those are the detailed instructions at the beginning of Kirby's Adventure, the full color sequel to Kirby's Dreamland for the Gameboy, and they couldn't be more accurate. Simple you say? That's because Kirby is simplicity itself: a little pink creampuff eating things and kicking ass.

I highly recommend you get this game, whether you get it for the NES or whether you decided to get the GBA remake of it. My opinion is that the NES version is just as, if not more, fun to play, and probably cheaper. It’s also a better game for its time, and a testament of what the NES was capable of.

Overall, this game is good. Very good, in fact, but it doesn't offer everything we would have hoped for. I wanted to see more challenge and I would have appreciated better replay value and control. But, I like this game a lot and I still play it fondly to this day on my old NES.

Overall, this is a great game for all of you NES-a-holics and retro gamers alike. Like mentioned above this game spawned a number of sequels. Kirby's Dreamland for the Game Boy, Kirby's Avalanche (a lousy Tetris knockoff) Kirby's Superstar, and my personal favorite, Kirby's Dream Course for the SNES. He even got a game on the N64 and made appearances in both Super Smash Bros. games. So there you have it. There's no reason not to buy this title.

Kirby is a fun game and a must own for any platform game enthusiast. Many people consider it to be the best Kirby game ever created. I think Kirby's Dream Land 2 is better, but that's just my opinion. This is a good game for showing off the awesome power of the NES.
