Kirby: Nightmare in Dream Land Critic Reviews

With fantastic level designs, great enemies and power-ups, as well as the addition of some fun and entertaining multiplayer modes, Kirby is a must have.

A touch on the short and easy side, but other than that you're looking at a remake of a wonderful classic made far better by incredible graphics and presentation, as well as numerous extras and multiplayer features.

The saccharine score is standard Nintendo fare; it will creep into your psyche and have you humming at random intervals throughout the day.

My point is this: Kirby good. Me like. You buy. All happy.

The graphics are astounding, the levels are very clever.

But keep in mind that there's a lot of discovery and, yes, a little strategy in order to complete the game 100%, and you'll want to do that to get the "extra" something.

The extreme fun will end with a short trek but you'll get true gaming bliss during the process.

Lots of cool villain-mimicking moves and a collection of beautiful backgrounds make the game fun to play and great to watch.

The three hours or so it took me to finish were incredibly fun, with not one ounce of tedium or monotony anywhere to be found - a rarity these days.

A remake of the NES classic.

A really great Kirby game that looks great, plays well and sounds nice, but is far too short for its own good.

Finishing the game takes just a few hours, and after you're done, there's little incentive to play again... Still great fun and better than most platformers out there.

Better than most platformers out there...The only beef we have with this title is that it's too dang short.

I will warn you that you can beat this in an afternoon. Take your time and go for the prizes.

Makes up for its simplistic gameplay and brief quest with a great deal of variety.

The execution of NID is spot on – you can't fault it for any control issues or presentation – and it's totally inoffensive and suitable for kids.

Far from perfect, but features some of the best elements in a game that I've seen in a long time.

The graphics are one of the best parts about the game. The backgrounds are absolutely gorgeous, and the animations have all been re-worked.

Unless you want a mega-dose of pink cotton candy, you'll likely be bored stiff.

While it's admittedly too easy and a little simplistic in structure (albeit with plenty of extras to unlock), it's nevertheless ideal for young ones or anyone looking for an easy-going few hours.
