Aaaand now I'm practically double-posting this, but it's related...

Pretty good reviews overall. 75 aint bad, especially considering that ridiculous 40 and gamespots 50.

In my opinion more reliable reviewers rate it pretty high.

Bummer. I was looking forward to this ... Enjoyed the DS game. Sadly Nintendo decided that Europe isn't important and this game will be released in 6 months time here. By then I won't care anymore.

Pretty good, I was expecting it to be around 75-80

Maybe is because is not released on europe yet, but i´m expecting more reviews too :/

Yayy! 75 is a pretty good score imo

It's a very niche style of play and a very non traditional Kirby title. So I think 75 is expected.

This is why I prefer listing reviews to just a metcritic score. My first review was gamespot and I was terribly disappointed...

Really, only two reviewers disliked it and when you read their reviews it appears they allowed their own personal preferences to weigh too heavily on the scores. They didn't care for the somewhat unique style of gameplay, essentially, and said it was difficult to master.

If this type of game appeals to you, though, the other reviews seem to suggest this is certainly a quality 80+ game. I initially thought about not picking my preorder up after gamespot but I'll definitely get it now. :)

Still 12 reviews? Things are a bit slow...

Anyway, 75 looks good enough for this game. Like I said before, something between 75-79 is what I was expecting at first.

In retrospect I am now firmly convinced that gamespot's 5/10 was rated solely so that she could use the headline "Kirb Your Enthusiasm"
