Game Review: Beginning Impression: Kirby and The Amazing Mirror

Like most Kirby games, the plot is kind of childish, and weird. Do I care? No...I totally expect that from Kirby games! What attracts me to the game, however, is that it's generally safe to say that it'll be fun. I mean, sucking up your enemies and stealing their abilities is really cool, right?



Also, I think this game is turning out to be very fun! I mean, there are four Kirbys. Yeah, I know you're thinking "when you have your gameboy advanced hooked up, but only then...". Wrong...the computer actually controls the three other Kirbys for you! It's really neat, since they can explore on their own, and stuff. The problem is...it doesn't really count for you. I mean, I WISH they'd follow me, to beat up the bad guys for me...while I just sit back and fool around...but because they don't follow you, you all have a cell phone. I'm not sure if that's what the game calls it...but that's what it is. You can call a star to take you back to the beginning, or you can call your friends to come to your aid. Since the cell phone runs on batteries, you can only call the computer-controlled Kirbys three times, or collect the batteries throughout the areas. And also, this isn't your level-to-level kind of game. It's a maze...and there are so many areas and places to explore...and not only are there different areas, each of the areas are separated into different regions.



Oh, yeah...the plot...what I'm suppose to accomplish...I might as well tell you it...okay, so there is this magical mirror (hence the title...) and apparently it's creating chaos in Dreamland, the land where Kirby lives. MetaKnight, a friend of Kirby's, tries to stop it, but ends up turning evil in the process. And now Kirby has to collect shard of the mirror (that shattered) so he can go defeat the evil. So far...I have two. A lousy two...but I'm on the verge of three!
