Kirby's Epic Yarn

Kirby's Epic Yarn made it debut on October 14 in Japan, October 17 in North America February 24,2011 in Australia and February 25,2011 in Europe.

When I saw this at E3 2010. I was personally thinking to my self. What the heck is so epic about Yarn.

(Well type it in google, you find something). But I got my self to buy it and surprisingly it is really good. It seems that a side-scrolling game and yarn make a pretty good combo.

So is a game+yarn=great game or do we have to cut some loose threads?

Lets Find Out!

Story:
The story is narrated by Sinan Kubba in a kinda childish way. But the story begins in the land of Dreamland, where Kirby is getting a snack to feed his bottomless pit. But as Kirby is about to eat the Tomato he found, the evil wizard Yin Yarn comes out and reveals that the tomato is actually a Momato(whatever that is). This in turn banishes him to Pacth Land  where he meets Prince Fluff. Kirby then ventures of with Prince Fluff, to sticth the world of Pacth Land together.

Gameplay:
The gameplay is rather smooth and natural. You basically move with the control pad on the Wii remote and to attack use the 2 button. The difficulty is also practically noting, heck there is no difficulty since you can't die. Through out the level you collect beads, these beads give you your score. IF you die, you don't die, you just lose half of your beads.

Kirby can also transform into many different shapes and forms. Like a car for extra speed, a submarine for underwater travel, and many more.

This game also allows Co-op play where the second player plays as Prince Fluff which is everyway identical to Kirby.

Artstyle:
The graphics is just breathtaking as in the yarn. As I read, the graphics are made up of digital photographic pictures of actual Yarn which were placed under Polygons. The developer wanted a real yarn look alike. Now that is pretty hard work.

Music:
It's Kirby. There is some good music within it. The composer's for the games soundtrack were Jun Ishikawa and Hirokazu Ando. Creating music that was light and happy. Also, songs that get stuck in your head for about 40 hours.

Final Verdict:
To Sum up, Kirby's Epic Yarn is one of those games were you think you might skip it because of how cute it is. But once you play it, you will love it.
