I've played the game for a bit longer and it's a lot of fun, though I think the move to Metroid-style gameplay was a bad move. Like the reviews stated it doesn't really work when you don't get to keep your powers and upgrades, and Kirby was meant to be quick, linear fun.
It reminds me of when me and my programmer friend were coming up with ideas for our platformer (which will be released!), and since he and I both love nonlinear games he suggested that we give it a Metroid-like structure, but I decided against that knowing that I just wanted it to be a simple, fun, pick-up-and-play platformer that you could play bits of every now and again and not have to worry about where you were supposed to go, ala Metroid. Playing Amazing Mirror (as good as it is), reaffirms my decision.
But I still haven't tried multiplayer, so maybe that'll be super-friggin-awesome or something.
Make no mistake though, it's still a very fun game. I just think it would have been better in a more linear, traditional Kirby structure.
Because he's ABF.
