    You do not need difficulty to have a good time. This game removes the idea of rushing and frustration and concentrates on the idea of classic platforming game, and innovative uses of buttons and yarns. It's a masterpiece when you think deeply about it.

    I love pretty much everything about this game.

    Some of the most beautiful graphics I have ever seen, on any platform, with stunning attention to detail, brilliant animation with loads of character given to all the enemies, a vibrant colourful and wonderful look and feel to everything.

    Awesome sound with some really catch tunes. Just listening to the tunes makes me feel good.

    Great old school gameplay with some cool and unique use of the main mechanics. The Yarn theme isn't just a tacked on gimmick. The game really gets some great use of yarn based puzzles and mechanics and every little area of the presentation and design fully utilizes the yarn theme to the max.

    Overall Kirby's Epic Yarn is a really fun game and just a great experience. It's one of my very favourite games this gen and one of the most enjoyable and uplifting games I have played in a long long time. It reminds me of all the things I loved about gaming in the first place.

    I would recommend everyone give this game a try because I'm sure if you do you too will love it.    … Expand

    What the developers have achieved is nothing short of epic! Who knew yarn could be this fun? If you need difficulty, there are many other games on Wii for that. This is about sheer fun and exploration. Collection is where most of challenge is. Any level gamer should enjoy this.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. kirby's epic yarn a game that will one day become on of the wii's classics and here is why
    like most sidescrollers the plot is simple kirby finds a wizard called yin yarn and he proceeds to swallow him. kirby gets yin yarns metamato which turns kirby into yarn. then yin yarns sock captures kirby and put him in a new place and with his new friend prince fluff they go to stop yin yarn
    this game is a sidescroller where you use the d-pad to move 2 to jump and 1 is your attack in this case the yarn whip. by doing certain button combos kirby can transform into a variety of things such as a car. one problem with this game however is that you can't die.if you fall into a pit it brings you furthur in the level and this is very abusable. kirby's epic yarn is one of the best games the wii has to offer not the best but it comes close.    … Expand

    The scenarios of the game were all built in a very creative and the end result was excellent. The mechanics is very different from other games in the series but that does not become a negative factor because it is still possible to use several new skills. Its downside is that it is extremely easy.

    Kirby’s Epic Yarn is a game which is devoted to its aesthetic. The premise of the game is that Kirby has been transformed into yarn and drug into Fabric Land by an evil wizard, and he must make his way through said world (optionally with Prince Fluff as player 2) to save the world.

The premise of the game is that Kirby has been transformed into yarn and drug into Fabric Land by an evil wizard, and he must make his way through said world (optionally with Prince Fluff as player 2) to save the world.

    Unlike other Kirby games, Kirby has no ability to suck up bad guys in this game. Instead, Kirby has a magic lasso with a star on the end of it; this lasso, when it strikes an enemy, unwinds them. If you hold down the attack button, it will wind the enemy into a ball of yarn that you can throw at your enemies, with some different enemies’ balls of yarn having subtly different effects (a few act as enemy-seeking missiles or give you a multishot). However, mostly, the balls of yarn are the same thing, though there’s actually a pretty good variety of enemies, with over 70 different types (though in reality, there’s probably more like 40 or so that are significantly different).

    The levels make use of the yarn aesthetic in other ways; the lasso can be used to cling to buttons, allowing Kirby to swing around. Sometimes Kirby can pull on a thread attached to a button and cause the landscape to bunch up or shift in some way, and there are also zippers that can be unzipped in a few locations to reveal new areas, or fabric to be furled or unfurled to do the same. There’s also a few narrow spaces that Kirby can unwind himself into a thread and literally thread himself through, though these spaces don’t play a very large role in the game, with only a couple levels through the game making any sort of significant use of the mechanic.

    This game’s “coins” are beads, and every level has a large number of them, along with two “treasure” items (which can be used to decorate an in-game house) and a music CD containing the level’s soundtrack. Collecting enough beads will earn Kirby a bronze, silver, or gold medal, and between levels, beads can be spent on fabric, on furniture from an in-game store (again, both to decorate your in-game house), and to add rooms to a building so that characters who give Kirby challenge levels to complete will move in. These challenge levels consist of things like races, carrying an object to the end of a level, collecting enough beads in a certain amount of time, and killing enemies within a time limit.

    These challenges and attempting to 100% the levels are the source of most of the challenge in the game, as the game proper is extremely easy – Kirby literally cannot die in this game. If he falls off the screen, he is picked up, dropping some of the beads he’s picked up, and put back on the level. If he runs into an enemy, he scatters his beads around him like Sonic after getting hit by an enemy. However, unlike Sonic, Kirby won’t die even if he has no beads whatsoever, meaning that it is literally impossible to fail at a level. The levels take about 10-15 minutes apiece if you explore them thoroughly, and there’s 36 of them in the game in total, scattered across eight worlds.

    The real highlight of the game are the game’s 7 bosses; each of the bosses has its own unique attack pattern which changes over the course of the fight. These boss fights are quite elaborate, and the bosses themselves are markedly more difficult in many cases than the rest of the game. While the patterns are all different, in the end, when the boss becomes vulnerable after being hit, Kirby can pull on a button attached to them to unwind them; over the course of the battle, they will gradually be unwound, and eventually will unwind completely (or break free of the strings being used to control them), complementing the game’s aesthetics nicely.

    The game also includes a half dozen or so transformations; most of these are pretty gimmicky, though they all change the gameplay fairly significantly (apart from the dolphin, which mostly just makes you much more agile in the water). A couple of them turn the game into a scrolling shoot-em-up, while others alter the gameplay in other ways, such as just driving in one direction or sliding around on a snowboard in one direction. While they mix things up a bit and give some mechanical variety, they’re all too limited to really feel all that great, and the train in particular is particularly bland and gimmicky.

    In the end, this is a decent platformer, but I can’t say that I’d really write home about it. The aesthetic is neat, the game is still visually appealing even many years later, and the bosses are pretty cool; however, outside of the bosses, the levels never really feel all that impressive, and even as I sit here the game is blending into a blur in retrospect. Clocking in at about 20 hours to 100%, this is not a terrible investment of your time, but there are better platformers out there.    … Expand

    I play this game with my 4 year old. He loves it and laughs a lot. He likes to pick my kirby character up and throw him across the screen. Very like Super Mario Bros but without the difficulty spike (at least for me)..

    Perfect for young kids- with a nicely narrated story- and it`s sheer platforming goodness for us old folks too.

The hotel decorating feature is more fun than it has any right to be. I have the best Kirby room and none of y'alls can match it. My only gripes with the game is the lack of additional content when compared to other Kirby games. There's no arena and no extra mode, which is disappointing. Would recommend if you like platformers are want something to do with a friend.

    This is a really fun game, with great visuals. It's a game that made me want to keep playing much Mario than Mario did. I removed 1 point because of the difficulty. Not because you can't die, because I liked that part, but because it wasn't challenging enough. (You can get gold medals on 80% of them on the 1st try)

    Absolutely delightful! Anyone who doesn't like this game doesn't have a HEART and shouldn't be playing video games, period. Screw brown and gray first-person shooters, Kirby is for real men.

    The creativity in this game is refreshing and very unique. My son and I both had a blast playing this game. Granted, it is a little easier than most platform games, there are plenty of world's that you can go back and unlock. So even though it is easy, there are plenty of more things to do after you beat the main game.

    I didnt enjoy this game as much as others did, but it is top quality. The visuals are amazing and the gameplay variety is staggering. My problem? Its WAY to easy. You cant die and there isnt much satisfaction in mastering levels. Buy it for your kids, or yourself if you want a great game but you find other games too challenging.

    The art direction is simply astounding and rivals Little Big Planet on the PS3 for sheer mind-blowing creativity. Boasting a central mechanic built around the idea that Kirby is composed of yarn, Epic Yarn is a refreshing platformer whose only flaw is its admittedly forgiving difficulty curve.

    A fun but different type of Kirby game. The different type of Kirby's you can be in this game is what makes it fun to go along with the levels. The multiplayer is much more fun to complete this game than solo. Although a fun game to play, replay value is some what dull. I suggest playing the first Kirby on the NES over this game.â

    Kirby's Epic Yarn is bubbling with youthful vibes and bubbly motifs and even though it felt a bit awkward playing a game with such childish themes, once I began to play through the excellent platforming levels, it was easy to see that Kirby's Epic Yarn may be youthful, but the game play is mature.

    Game play is unique due to the yarn-based theme with Kirby able to use clothing accessories, such as zippers and buttons, to advance his goal to save Patch Land. Difficulty is where the game suffers and depending on how you play the game will depend on how difficult it will be. But even if you played for 100% completion the game is never extremely challenging. Just make sure that when you decide to play it, don't let the childish themes turn you off. You will miss out on an excellent platformer.

The gameplay, shortened to the point, has been butchered to be way too easy. Kirby can do things in the environment, like become a car, or use an ability meant for a certain area, like a tank. this is a pretty cool concept, but the problem with it s that you can't die in the game. beads, which determine your score at the end of the stage, are lost every time you fall into a it or get hit by an enemy, making it impossible to lose this game. I can see Nintendo making Kirby a bit easier, but here, it's way too easy. the graphics for the game are pretty nice. the environments and colors for this game shine, making it one of the nicest looking games on the Wii. the soundtrack for the game is very lighthearted. all the tracks in the game sound very cute, almost a bit too cute. tunes in Kirby could give a great beat and rhythm while also sounding cute, but here, being cute is all it sounds like. if there's one thing I cannot stand in this game, it's Prince Fluff. he's such an unneeded character in the game, and is seriously bland in general. In the End, Kirby's Epic Yarn is a good game, just probably not for Kirby fans. while it can be enjoyable with its story and dialogue, it can be a shut off for some by being too cute or too easy. if you're trying to get into the Kirby series, start with this one. just be prepared for the challenge other Kirby games will have.… Expand

I generally enjoy the "Kirby" series, and I quite enjoyed the latest adventure in the series, "Kirby Star Allies," but after completing this game, one that critics and fans have sung the praises for ever since its release in 2010...I honestly felt nothing. I walked into this review without a numerical score in mind, because the game as a whole just made me feel so...whatever. And I wanted to love it, because I always find myself enjoying the "Kirby" platformer games, but this one didn't really leave an impression me like "Kirby 64" or "Star Allies" did.
    Obviously, "Kirby's Epic Yarn" has some very pretty visuals that keep things interesting and inject a cool, child-like charm into the game. The game itself is also very easy to get into, the controls are pretty smooth, and the gameplay is relatively varied overall. As always, Kirby retains his signature cute charm in this game, but unfortunately, he gets bogged down by a few other unfortunate problems.
    For one, short length and lack of difficulty are once again on full-display here, and while you could argue that, since this is commonplace for "Kirby" games, it's not such a big deal, in the case of this game, you know it's a problem when you technically can't "die" in the game. It unfortunately comes off to me as a bit too streamlined and too child-proofed, robbing whatever challenge the other games in the series may have. Along with that, some of these new gimmicks and forms in the game occasionally control kind of awkwardly, which can be annoying when you go from ultra-smooth, accessible platforming into a tank that can't seem to aim without turning nutty. And finally, the game is just dull. I'm sorry, but even with the childlike-design, pretty yarn aesthetic and all that, it just feels so empty to me. I feel nothing while playing it or after playing it, and the emptiness made it hard for me to love the game.
    Guys, I'm really sorry, I wanted to love "Kirby's Epic Yarn," but unfortunately, I just happen to be in the minority here. All I can say is that, if your curiosity is intensely high, give it a shot and you might walk away with something special. Otherwise, there's several other better "Kirby" games to pick from, this one just isn't quite worth it. Sorry, Nintendo. I wanted to love it but I just can't. I hope "Kirby's Return to Dream Land" (which I obviously haven't finished yet, because if I did I'd be reviewing it) is good!

    This is one of the most beautiful game I have ever played. While you could argue that it's too easy, although a few of the timed bonus levels are tricky, that would be missing the point. The game, just like say an animation film like Miyazaki's Totoro, is primarily conceived for children. However the creativity and level design on display here are simply breathtakingly inspired and delightful.

    This is the most fun I have ever had with a game, this goes way back with me, and I can't recommend it enough. Seriously, It's amazing.

    The differential from the formula of the old Kirby games does not ruin this one. It doesn't exactly help it either, though. While this game lacks almost any difficulty, which is even less present in multiplayer, it is still colorful and fun enough to be another good game in the Wii's library.

    Kirby´s Epic Yarn is one of my favorite games. The game is great, I like the challenges, the music is excellent, the design is accepteble and the rest is just great.

    (9/10) - I beat this twice with my neighbor and brother. Beautiful soundtrack and just a charming game.

    The game is offering a unique style and a new concept. But Kirby's Epic Yarn is too easy to get a 90+ rating.

    While you wouldn't call it epic, Kirby's Epic Yarn is a welcome addition in the current, and possibly continuing, dearth of quality Wii titles.

    Who knew a stroll into Arts and Crafts land could be this much fun? Kirby's latest adventure is a pure joy, and although it's a bit on the easy side, it'll keep you very entertained from start to finish without even flinching.
