Kirby’s Epic Yarn is a videogame — the latest in a very popular series — made exclusively for the Wii and suitable for gamers of any age. You play as Kirby, who on most days is a spunky pink blob with big anime eyes. But in this newest adventure, an evil wizard zaps Kirby into a ball-of-yarn version of himself and sends him into Patch Land, a whimsical world made of fabric, a Willy Wonka wonderland filled with thread monsters, denim terrain, polyester backgrounds, and of course, cotton ball clouds. The gameplay involves swinging, jumping, and whipping through many madcap levels (you can collect beads along the way if you want, but it’s not mandatory), advancing through a storyline about helping a petulant royal ruler named Fluff save his torn-asunder textile kingdom, as well Kirby’s native world, known as Dream Land. The game is well produced. In fact, Kirby’s Epic Yarn is one of the best-reviewed games of 2010, with a Metacritic score of 89.

And yet, I named it the worst videogame of the year in the new issue of EW. This is what I wrote:

“There’s a fine line between cute and grating, delightfully busy and irritatingly overwhelming — and for me, this hyperactively adorable side-scrolling puzzler crosses it.”

Shall we prepare the angry mob?

so basically he pciked it as worst game of the year just because he can, not because of the game itself... that was well explained!

As a Kirby fan for the past 11 years, I have to agree.  It's the first Kirby game that made me feel like I wasn't playing a game for everyone.  It's comparable to watching something from Nick Jr.  I still stand by my stance that it's more of a Wario Land: Shake It 2 than a Kirby title.

And that makes the game just the worst Kirby or the worst game overall this year?

Of course this is just his opinion, but in this case his opinion is just very wrong, so he shouldn't be allowed to publish anything ever again. :P

well, it's hard to take ET very seriously, when this is showing along side other garbages the show is famous for.

now... where is that Maxim video game review?

Well sure.  It wasn't originally going to be a Kirby game, after all; he just got thrown into it halfway through the game's development.  Kind of like Starfox Adventures.

Ya, but at least kirby actually was able to fit in this game.
