Product Details:

Kirby's first console platform game since the Nintendo 64 days introduces an amazing new look based on animated yarn and a world of cloth and textiles. The creative approach is woven directly into the game play and allows the ever-morphing Kirby to take on a variety of new forms. It's a one-of-a-kind platformer that lets players explore high and low for hidden objects and fun adventure.

The look of the world is stunning, but it's also interactive. Pulling on stray threads might reveal hidden areas. When Kirby literally goes behind the scenes, the virtual fabric warps and bends to show his location.
Thanks to his versatile yarn composition, Kirby can take on a variety of forms both in his common actions and when he transforms into powerful vehicles. When Kirby dashes, he zips around as a car. In water, he turns into a submarine. At times he can even transform into a massive robotic tank, a UFO and other vehicles.
Two players can play through the entire game together*.
Gems and collectible items are scattered throughout the environments for players to find.

*Additional accessories are required and sold separately.

Its creative which was what i liked about it. the fact that you cant copy abilities is lame but there are different form you can transform to at different stages. You also can't die...at all which makes the game way to easy and not challenging at all so the game gets boring. It is also very short i beat it in less than five hours.

This game is just one of the best Kirby games out there! I have loved just about every Kirby game they made. This one is just one of the most funnest Wii games i have played! Im one of those players that play PS3 nd Xbox but playing this game brings back good memories and is very to play with the guns and violence. I would give this game 9/10 its a very fun game just the thing about it is it would be better if u could play as more characters and if u can also suck bad guys and fly.. but all and all a very excellent game!!!

if you call this a kirby game then you're crazy. there are no copy abilities, you can't inhale and there is no health meter. yes it's creative but this game is just awful. if you have younger siblings or kids buy this game for them but if you want to play it you'll just be wasting your time.

Kirby Epic Yarn is a very kid friendly game.This game right now is $20 used which is a total steal.So if you have a kid who likes the wii,get him this game now.The gameplay is cute and creative,the level music is peaceful and relaxing,and the levels are well thought out.I do like the fact that the main characters are made out of yarn and that they can change shape.My favorite part in Kirby Epic Yarn are the things Kirby and Prince Fluff can change into.Theres many different things from cars,tanks,firetrucks,and even dolphins.This game is very appealing to kids and maybe a couple die hard Kirby adult fans.I dont think Kirby Epic Yarn is better than Kirby Return to Dreamland but its a close second.So 1 through 10,Kirby Epic Yarn is a solid 9.Its the second best Kirby game on the Wii.

So, I'm an adult and picked up this game because there were absolutely no other games in stock that I wanted to get for the buy two get one free promo. I have to say, I wasn't stoked on it, but figured it might be mind numbingly fun and it is! However, the fact that you can't die and how easy it is to play, I'd say it's more for your kids or the person who doesn't like hard hard games. Although I say that, it is still apart of my collection and I have fun playing it on occasion! It's not like the original kirby games, but that's what makes it unique and just an easy "pick up and play" type platformer game. I think it's a good choice for the price!

This game will be one of your favorites even if you are or aren't familiar with Kirby. The levels are at the right amount of difficulty, which makes this game still fun after a while. The music isn't anything special, though. However, everything else in the game more than makes up for the painfully average music.

This game is way different from most of the kirby games. which is not necessarily a good thing. I was looking forward to the normal way where you can get an enemies powers when you defeat them, but in this game that was not the case. when you defeat an enemy, you can only throw them at other enemies. The story of this game is very cute, it is about kirby helping the king of "yarn land" unite the eight lost pieces of the world. As for gameplay, this game has easy controls and is very easy, making it my six year old sister's favorite game.
