    How Could I say NO to a Kirby adventure game? This Is a Very Great But. Its REALLY Short And Bosses Aren't That Hard But The Mini Games R Cool.

    A good game. Not just a boring platforming game. The ability to eat your opponents and take there powers makes this game some good competition for Mario. The minigames are a little bit too much fun to be considered minigames. The game is medium length but pretty easy.

    It's not the funnest Kirby in recent years, nor is it innovative, but in the end, platform gamers will find something to treasure here aside from the uninspiring level designs, repetitious backtracking, and easy boss battles.

    Kirby: Nightmare in Dream Land is an enhanced port of the classic Kirby's Adventure, the first game in which Kirby could gain copy abilities. Despite excellent presentation, tight controls, secrets, and mini-games, it struggles to fill two hours for a single play-through and the tacked on multiplayer options do nothing for the game. This is short, easy, and largely forgettable forKirby: Nightmare in Dream Land is an enhanced port of the classic Kirby's Adventure, the first game in which Kirby could gain copy abilities.

    Este juego tiene unas buenas razones por que le doy un 7, primero, un control resbaladizo que hace que te compliques cuando quieres atacar u otra cosa, segundo, en algunos niveles se abusa de la cantidad de enemigos.

    Solo eso

    Kirby: Nightmare in Dreamland es un gran plataformero un unos gráficos pixel art muy agradables para la vista. Las mecánicas de absorción de enemigos para conseguir poderes características de los juegos de esta saga son muy entretenidas como de costumbre y, combinando muchas y variadas habilidades, escenarios completos y con rutas secretas, y una banda sonora hacen de este un buen juego.

    Fun little platformer with everyone's favourite power-stealing pink blob. A little too lacking in challenge to be truly satisfying but kids will love it.

    A remake of the NES classic. [Feb 2003, p.97]

    Unfortunately though we can't really see Kirby's latest adventure lasting anybody for particularly long, multiplayer games and secret hunting notwithstanding.

    While it's admittedly too easy and a little simplistic in structure (albeit with plenty of extras to unlock), it's nevertheless ideal for young ones or anyone looking for an easy-going few hours.
