Kirby: Nightmare in Dream Land

"This game is great -- it justs ends quickly."

INTRO- Kirby: Nightmare in Dream Land is a great game. It feels good on the GameBoy Advance and I would enjoy another Kirby adventure on the GBA. With 20+ abilities to copy, you will find everything to feel fresh.

STORY- Kirby: Nightmare in Dreamland is actually a remake of the 8- bit NES adventure titled Kirby's Adventure. Don't
let the title confuse you. This game starts off Kirby's adventures and it really is a good beginning. In Dream Land, dreams flow from the Fountain of Dreams. Kirby then discovers that King De De De has been bathing in the Fountain of Dreams. Triple De then steals the Star Rod and distributes the pieces to all his minions. Now you must help Kirby recover the Star Rod and save Dream Land.
My Score: 6

GRAPHICS- The graphics for this game are great. As you watch Kirby and his enemies, you almost seem to get distracted by the beautiful backgrounds and landscapes. For a GameBoy Advance game these graphics are very detailed.
They seem to grip you.
My Score: 9

MUSIC/SOUND- This games cheery music will make Kirby fans happy. Several of Kirby's other games music is back in this game while there are quite a few remixes, also. When Kirby gets hit he will slightly yell and actually makes noises when hit. You can't go wrong with this music or sound. And if you are really into the music, you can go to Sound Test and listen to all your favorite tunes.
My Score: 8

CONTROL- Once you pop this game into the GBA, it seems as if your hands know all the correct controls. They're easy to master and easy to remember. Control is not a biggy in this game.
My Score: 8

REPLAYABILITY- This game is very short and you may not want to jump right back into playing the game, nut once you get 100% you unlock a Hard Mode and after that you can even play as Meta- Knight. And if you don't find the main game fun, there are 4 great mini-games for you to enjoy. There is Quick Draw(Samurai Kirby from Super Star), Bomb Rally(my favorite), Kirby's Air Grind, and Boss Endurance is unlocked
after completing the main game.
My Score: 9

OVERALL- It. Is. A. Great. Game. Period. Buy it. I give this game an overall score of 8.
