With the upcoming release of Kirby and the Forgotten Land, I thought I would start playing the Kirby games (some replays too). The first Kirby game, Dream Land, is your typical, generic platform game. It doesn't bring anything new to the genre and it doesn't try anything different. The levels look pretty much all the same as well but at least there is variety in the enemies and boss fights. The game itself isn't really that bad of a game. It's still fun to play and a nice start to the Kirby franchise. Kirby is a fun character to play as and you don't get bored of him at all. Sometimes the controls can feel a little stiff, but in the end they work. One thing about this game that I'm happy is in here, is the continue option. In some GB games, you lose all your lives and have to start over. At least this game had the decency to let you restart on the last stage if you ran out of lives instead of sending you all the way back to the beginning. This game probably wouldn't be remembered if it wasn't a Kirby game, but I would still recommend it to frequent platform players and fans of the Kirby franchise.

I loved it! I actually preferred this one over Kirby's Adventure and I'm not sure why. My only problem with this game is it's really easy when you start out but other than that I love it! I think the short time that this game has works because if you're on a road trip, here's a Kirby game you can play in hand held and it's one you can beat on the road since it's short and simple! It also has unique stages with cool enemies. Another thing I really liked is that the boss fight is just Dedede instead of him and another bigger boss fight. That's really all I have to say about it. It's just a lot of fun and a nice short game!
