One of the first games I ever beat was Kirby's Dreamland on my original old gray Gameboy. In fact, it might have been second after Super Mario Land. I loved it, and play it to this day mostly to see how quickly I can beat it.

The "new" Gameboy Advance game, Kirby: Nightmare in Dreamland is a remake of the NES Kirby game from 1993. It's pretty much a straight forward port of the original game, with some extra mini-games thrown in. Now, I never had an NES and although I've played Kirby on some emulators, I never beat it. So imagine my disappointment when I bought Nightmare in Dreamland Thursday afternoon, and by the next night had beaten it completely. It took about an hour and a half.

All the regular Kirby functions are there, his famous suck the enemies in and spit them out or absorb their abilities, etc, but there's nothing new and the game is far too easy and straight forward. I only died a few times before the final boss, and each time was out of pure laziness. The enemies present no real challenge, and the bosses are easy to figure out.

The graphics and sound of the game are nice and fun and what one expects from Kirby, and on the outside it seems like it would be a longer game. But it's not-the levels are very short, and I didn't find the mini-games interesting enough to play them very much. There are some levels where you can practically float through the entire thing without ever fighting an enemy.

The game itself is enjoyable, and very much fun to play, but once you've beat it there's really no point in playing it again. There is nothing new to find, really unless you feel like unlocking all the mini-games, and your big reward for beating the whole thing is yet another unlocked mini-game. It's still a Kirby game, and has all the charm of a Kirby game, but if you've played either of the Gameboy games or the original NES there is not a real reason to pick up Nightmare in Dreamland.

The world's coolest pink ball is back with all new copy abilities, bosses, warp stars, and tons more! This game is awesome! Even though it doesn't take long to beat the game, you can play it a zillion times! Kirby lives higher than my expectations though the name sounded kinda wierd when I first heard it. That won't matter after you've played the game. Its way different from Kirby: The Crystal Shards because if you get hit, you lose your power and there's no combos. You can also float forever. One of the copy abilities is kinda dumb its called sleep. But that's the only one. The others like laser, UFO, and needle are cool.
Multiplayer is also awesome. You can fight bosses and everybody with your friends. The sub-games are pretty cool, but when you beat the game, you get the coolest sub-game.

10/10 - Graphics: they can't make it better.
10/10 - Gameplay: cool storyline.
9/10 - Bosses: the bosses are pretty easy until you get to
DeDeDe and the nightmares.
9/10 - Duration: doesn't last long (even thought there are 8
levels) but you can keep on playing over and over and...
you get the idea
10/10 - Control: easy to control
10/10 - Overall: definetly one of the coolest game for GBA; a
must have for EVERYONE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
