Breaking The Mold
I always feel bad for reviewing Kirby games. Not because they're not fun to play, or because I don't like them. Quite the opposite, actually. As a whole, I love the franchise for all of its various entries and incarnations, almost to a fault. That is to say, there isn't a single entry in the series that I dislike, and so, I feel bad, because anybody reading a review will immediately see my subjective bias towards the cute, cuddly and inventive worlds that various developers always seem to cook up. This time, HAL Laboratory picks the reins back up and takes the series back to the gameplay of 2005's "Canvas Curse," but also brings two new things to the table: claymation and GamePad-snapping difficulty.
You read that last part right. "Kirby & The Rainbow Curse," the pink puff's first go at a Wii U title, steers the series in a completely unexpected direction. Historically, the Kirby games have been satisfying little romps that are none too difficult to...
A New Type Of Platformer
I spent the last couple of hours playing this game at the dorm room of my college friend and let me say that though I do not own a wii u myself, this is one of the games that make buying the console worth it. Here is my review of Kirby and the Rainbow Curse and I will aim to be as unbiased as possible in retelling my experience of this game.

STORY: The plot is basically bare bones here but that is what you can really expect out of Nintendo games but they are basically the king of making absurd simple stories into incredibly fun games so no complaints here. Basically the story starts of with Kirby goofing off and a hole in the sky appears and rids dreamland of all its color creating a black and white world and everyone else is frozen in place. It is up to Kirby to bring color into dream land again and beat the evil force who had taken away all the color. Basically the plot sets into motion how the rest of the game plays out so let's get into the game...
Personally I think it's tons of fun once you get use to it
First and foremost it's important to note that this game requires the stylus to play. About 95% of the negative reviews this game receives is because people purchase this game without knowing that (despite the fact that it's advertised everywhere) and they get upset when they realize it does not use traditional controls. If the idea of using the stylus to draw lines on the game pad to control Kirby does not appeal to you then turn away now.
Personally I think it's tons of fun once you get use to it. For completionist like myself the game will offer plenty of playtime as there is lots to collect and lots of challenges to complete. Collect stars and treasure chest in each level to unlock trophies, music and secret challenge levels which are really fun and addicting to play and add a new set of difficulty to the game. For people who don't care about collecting stuff and earning gold medals and would rather just get to the credits the game can be finished fairly quickly and...
