5.0 out of 5 stars Death Wail of the NES, November 23, 2005

= Fun:5.0 out of 5 stars 

This review is from: Kirby's Adventure (Video Game)

Yes, children, there used to be an 8 bit system called the NES. By the time Kirby was released on it, the SNES had taken over, with its superior graphics and sound.

But Kirby is a labour of love. Rather than make some piece of trash as the last great NES game, the makers polished it and polished it until you can almost see your face in it. The graphics stretch the 8 bit format to its absolute limit. This is the aesthetic equivalent of painting the Lord's Prayer on a grain of rice - the beauty is that of working WITHIN the limitations. Kirby himself is a beautiful vibrant pink, the worlds he passes through are delicious lime greens, ice blues, chocolate browns - the rich colours do not attempt to emulate 16 bit, but instead try to make 8 bit as beautiful as possible

Likewise the sound. Kirby makes the cutest "ooh" and squeaking noises; the music is well-composed and works wonderfully within the confines of an 8 bit synthesiser.

The gameplay is also polished, with an intuitive beauty to the controls. It's a finger dance to play this game - an experience of control and aesthetics that few games can match.

Farewell, little NES! Maybe you will be reincarnated in a future century...

A Kid's Review

This review is from: Kirby's Adventure (Video Game)

This is one of Kirby's first games, and it's really not that bad, considering the amount of games it has to compare itself with. I mean, this is NES, but as NES games go, this is definitely one of the best! If you manage to beat the game and defeat the final boss, you still have to find all the secrets, and the you have to beat the game over with half as many power pieces AND get all the secrets again. I admit, the levels aren't all extremely challenging but that was never the point of a Kirby game, from what I can tell. It's still fun to see Kirby doing what he does best, even back then - grabbing up powers and slapping enemies silly!

5.0 out of 5 stars My favorite NES game., July 31, 2001

Awesome game. 2D platformers just don't get any better than this. Kirby has the appearance of a cute little cream puff, but don't let it fool you: this guy's easily got more moves than Lara Croft. Kirby can absorb powers from enemies (or simply EAT them), slide, dive, fly, dash, and all sorts of other things. He can get everything from a sword to a laser, become a living tornado, and even drive his own UFO. The graphics are very colorful and vibrant, especially for an NES title, and the music is nice and upbeat and happy, just like the whole tone of this game. It looks a lot like a kids' game, but believe, anyone can have a lot of fun with this. It's even got secret modes to unlock by beating the game at 100%. There is really nothing bad that I can mention about this title. It's simply a must-have for any NES owner who likes platform games.
