Description

Product Description
Kirby Offers a New Take on String Theory.

Kirby's first console platform game since the Nintendo 64 days introduces an amazing new look based on animated yarn and a world of cloth and textiles. The creative approach is woven directly into the game play and allows the ever-morphing Kirby to take on a variety of new forms. It's a one-of-a-kind platformer that lets players explore high and low for hidden objects and fun adventure.

Kirby's Epic Yarn features:

• The look of the world is stunning, but it's also interactive. Pulling on stray threads might reveal hidden areas. When Kirby literally goes behind the scenes, the virtual fabric warps and bends to show his location.
• Thanks to his versatile yarn composition, Kirby can take on a variety of forms both in his common actions and when he transforms into powerful vehicles. When Kirby dashes, he zips around as a car. In water, he turns into a submarine. At times he can even transform into a massive robotic tank, a UFO and other vehicles.
• Two players can play through the entire game together.
• Gems and collectible items are scattered throughout the environments for players to find.

Great family game, along the same lines as the Mario games so that'll give you an idea of what it's like. It is actually a fun game to play.
However, I believe the game has a glitch in it. Everytime I start the last stage it freezes and then it can't read the disc. I cleaned the disc and tried again but the same result. All my other games play fine so I know it's not the Wii itself that has the problem. Honestly, Nintendo (or any other game manufacturer) shouldn't be allowed to ship games with glitches in it, they cost us a lot of money and i'm getting fed up with sub standard games from BIG companies.

Comments about Nintendo 1001272 Kirby's Epic Yarn for Nintendo Wii:

This was a very great game. I was excited in getting it. I started playing right away. It was fun to get a new story line, and yaddah yaddah yah, but it was missing the point of Kirby; he can swallow people. All he can do here is hit people with a whip and transform into a car and stuff.

Comments about Nintendo 1001272 Kirby's Epic Yarn for Nintendo Wii:

It is a pretty good game but too short. Not a very good kirby game: no inhale (what are they thinking!); No float jump (what do they want to do? make another Kirby?); way too short. Did not live up to my expactations.

This game was a Christmas gift for my 6 year old and it was actually a replacement for another game I had ordered[...]My son loves the game and he and I play the two player mode. It's been a great experience and gives me time to bond with my little boy who's not so little anymore...we high five and everything when we complete a level. It's really great! Thanks Toys R Us!!! :)

Comments about Nintendo 1001272 Kirby's Epic Yarn for Nintendo Wii:

My 6 year old played this on an endcap at a store and immediatley fell in love with it. Dad does play it with her from time to time, but she can play it by herself. She has played it nonstop for about 1 month now and hasn't finished it completely... Maybe the older kids might finish it quicker, but it is lasting our child a very long time. Graphics are quite fun.

Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend
