When you play the original Kirby's Dream Land, it's easy to see why Nintendo thought this would be a great franchise. It's fun to play, it's easy to control, and it's got a lot of character. There's a lot to like about it. The graphics are excellent, the music is toe-tapping, and the gameplay is varied.
So when you finish it after only playing it for half an hour, you're understandably a little annoyed.
I purchased this game way back when I was about 14 years old, on my original Game Boy. I paid $30 for it, and I quite literally finished it in half an hour. I died once during my entire playtime. I tried returning it, and of course they didn't accept the return, so there I was, stuck with a game that I had already finished. There was nothing to unlock, nothing extra to do except play the game's included "Hard Mode," which was just about impossible.
For $2.99 on the eShop, the length (or lack thereof) of Kirby's Dream Land is a touch more palatable. With so many other choices, though, I would be hard-pressed to recommend such a short, short game. Maybe I'm still angry, but dang it, thirty dollars is thirty dollars.
Stupid Kirby's Dream Land.
Final Rating: D
