I loved Kirby 1 and 2 on GB... both were really good games. Never played the NES or SNES ones... so 64 was quite dissapointing. I was expecting an equal for Kirby 2... it wasn't even close.
Why? First, NO UNLIMITED FLIGHT! This hurt the game so badly... the best part about the Kirby games was FLYING! This removed that... and half of the fun and uniqueness of the series.
Oh, the incredibly lame minibosses that never move and the slow pace of the game (sure all the games are like that... which makes it not so bad. But for a new platform they could have sped it up a bit), and the ease of the levels... and other things. It was a fun game, sure... but not the great 2d platformer I was expecting. It was merely above average... not good enough! Not nearly good enough. So for me while I'd give it a good score I'd say it was one of the more dissapointing games on the system, no question. It was just ... kind of boring. I don't know how to describe it. It was fun... but simplistic. And easy. And no flying... it just got dull after a while, and that "this isn't nearly as good as I was hoping" feeling just never left me. Oh well... the one thing that saved it was the cool combo powers. Those were fun... but not enough to make the game worth completing.
