It's a different type of platformer. It's more about challenge and discovery. Looking for everything is great fun. The game is polished, entertaining, the Amiibo is a must, wonderful. I have put in well over 20 hours of play to beat the base game, much more if you 100%, which is fun to do.
   
   The gameplay has a nice build to it, with new items slowly being rolled out to you. Love how new ideas and elements present to you.
   
   My feeling is the destiny wheel turned off many critics. Which is silly as, it's not horrible, not great, but in the end, does nothing to impede the game. So easy to land on the number you need.
   
   Also, Chibi-Robo has always been polarizing. Critics want basic, paint by numbers. Not into edgy, different.
   
   Also, do NOT get the complaints on the vehicle levels. The cart, balloon, etc are all fun. Once you understand the controls, it makes great sense. Are they challenging? Sure. That's what I want in a game, a challenge. Not paint by number hand holding.
   
   The costume element of this game is great. In where you find codes within the game then share these codes with others on Miiverse, gamefaqs, etc. And, the 100%ing of this game is something I am truly going to shoot for. It's very addictive and fun. Getting all the costumes is something I feel will be quite rewarding to do.
   
   This is a game that is TRULY about exploration first, then platforming. And, the exploration is challenging and clever at times. If you are the nook and cranny sort of exploration person, who loves to find everything and smiles when discovering new items, this game is so much for you.
   
   The presentation is fantastic. Great menu, great Chibi Universe, many configurations of things to do, and, the Amiibo is greatly used in this. Heck, even other "non" Chibi Amiibo are well used in this!
   
   The sound effects are strong, the music light and catchy. Nothing special but serviceable enough to where you smile.
   
   If you love the Chibi-Robo Universe, and are looking for something different in game-play, get this now. Honestly, very surprised at some of the low scores on this game. They are not deserved and no doubt, if you try to collect everything, you will get at least 40 hours out of this wonderful, fun, inspiring, colorful game.

   Zip Lash, unlike other Nintendo games that negatively mix up the formula (Sticker Star) still sustains the series in ways that even acoomadateZip Lash, unlike other Nintendo games that negatively mix up the formula (Sticker Star) still sustains the series in ways that even acoomadate the optimistic and devoted fans. For example, the beginning of the game starts out with a beautifully animated CGI Chibi - Robo showing the main premise of the game, with a catchy tune coming after that. If that wasn't cool enough, the game starts off in a spectacular space view with the "Drake Redcrest" theme playing inthe background. There are even some noises and other cool quirks you can point out in you look hard enough. Great impressions there. The level design is well executed, having a grander scale and a story, while not as compelling, still gets the job done. The art design has a neat blocky style to it, and the animations for the enemies, characters, and NOC's are run smoothly and give the game a sense of charm and personality. Each level is also fairly decently long, ranging from around 15 - 25 minutes if you take your time. It's a very leisurely paced game, but that's what makes it fun, and addicting as well. It may play it safe in some areas, but other times it throws your excpectations out of the water for an awesome segment of high speed action. Not to mention the 3D is really good and truly magnifies Chibi Robo.
   
   If there were any problems had in my initial run, it's the Stage Spinner, where the next level you go to is basically determined by chance. It ruins the flow of the game and playing the same level kver and over squeezes out the fun to be had and is replaced with a troublesome chore. Sure, it can be manipulated, and it isn't such a big issue, but it's definitely something to point out.
   
   Overall, Zip Lash was a well crafted game, and has what to expect from a Chibi - Robo game, even if it's different. While I do regard the previous installments as being more inventive and innovative, Zip Lash is definitely a great way to get the casual retail demographic into this awesome series. Now we just need a true sequel to the first game for the Wii U or NX.… Expand

This game to me represents the creative bankruptcy that Nintendo experienced throughout 2015-2016. Ruined what could have been a great franchise.… Expand
