    Highly polished Kirby platformer in the classic sense. Fairly straight forward and easy to beat but it's loaded with secrets and it's just so beautifully done that it's hard not to be won over, at least for a while, by the almost disgustingly cute little pink ball that is Kirby.

    Masahiro Sakurai be defending his Kirby because by then, we should be getting more great Kirby games. Kirby: Squeak Squad doesn't make it up, but it works.

    Squeak Squad is what you would expect of a standard Kirby platformer. Colorful levels, easy to approach and of course, several different copy abilities. The difficulty curve of this game gradually increases, which is why people that may not have played platformers before would still be able to play the game. However, this means the game is simple, and hard to set apart from other 2D KirbySqueak Squad is what you would expect of a standard Kirby platformer.

    It has all the staples of a good Kirby game; fast movement, creative character designs, lots of abilities to experiment with, energetic music, nice visuals and lots of mini games - but is unfortunately let down by some annoying touch screen gimmicks, little to no developments on the previous games and has some pretty repetitive level design.

    Отличная часть с Кирби для релакса. Что-то из разряда "настолько легко, что и приятно". Но моментами бывало и трудновато (это касается исключительно босов). В итоге, если вам хочется поиграть в какую-нибудь часть с кирби, то можете садиться за эту (или если вы не знаете что еще проходить на Nintendo DS)    [RU]

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. This... This is the game that assassinated kirby.... not really but sort of... lets get into it. So this game gameplaywise is honestly very average for a kirby game at the time. You get a few new power ups with the magic one being the best. There may be no power up gimmick like the shinya kirby games but that's not always a bad thing. The biggest problems I have with the game is the story and the progression system. So with progressing, it's mostly a linear game but then you hit a roadblock where you need certain items to move on. It says what items you need but it doesn't say the levels they are at. It lead me to needing a walkthrough but other than that the progression system is good. The items you need to get to 100% the game can be cleaver too but they can also be in bad places. As for the story, I have a big problem with it. Kirby's main goal for the adventure is....... cake. Really? He gets his cake stolen and he needs to go on an adventure for it? It's probably eaten up already. Then he breaks into king dedede's castle and they fight. Then the mice known as the squeak squad comes in and steals a treasure chest which kirby thinks has a cake in it.... IT'S A MESS! It's like they are both young siblings always bickering and HAL knew they messed up because in another game called kirby's return to dreamland, kirby is seen with his cake but he's happy to play chase with his friends for the cake. Then when trouble emerges, he drops the cake. Funny. I must say though the bosses can make a good challenge, especially the lead mouse but the very last boss is a pushover. Lastly the graphics of the game look good even though it's just a slightly improved version of kirby and the amazing mirror but that game looked good to begin with.… Expand

    Another attractive 2D platform/puzzler in the mould of classic 16 BIT games that makes good use of the touch screen. Nothing Earth-shattering but pleasant enough.

    The only thing we didn't like about Squeak Squad is that it's a tad on the easy side...But there is no denying the ineffable charm of this title.

    Stomach issues and assumption of Japanese linguistic ability aside, however, Squeak Squad is the most complete conventional Kirby side-scroller in some time. Yes, it may not be a "killer app" like Canvas Curse, but it's not trying to be.

    Though Kirby Squeak Squad rarely finds a way to challenge you, it's a clever and cute enough platformer to recommend to most DS owners.
