Kirby Canvas Curse is a normal two-dimensional platform game when all the bells and whistles are removed, and a very accomplished one at that. The game takes place across several themed worlds, each comprising three stages. Gameplay revolves around

Like past Kirby games, if a defeated enemy has a special power, Kirby will then steal this power to use to his advantage. These range from rocket ships and electricity attacks, to turning Kirby into a stone to pound his enemies. These are activated by

After having his arms and legs magically removed in a pleasant and non-violent fashion, Kirby finds himself transported into a world of paint and canvas. No longer having any appendages, Kirby has no choice but to roll his way to his objectives. Moving

This certainly is a different kind of game, interesting even. But, a blast to play? A must have? These are things that Kirby: Canvas Curse sadly is not.

Even though Kirby has no mouth in Canvas Curse, he can still absorb some enemies' abilities by dashing into them. There are about a dozen familiar abilities, including Beam, Missile, and Stone, but some of the old classics are missing, such as Sword,

Beyond drawing lines, the player can tap enemies with the stylus, stunning them, or tap Kirby to give him a brief burst of speed. In traditional Kirby style, defeating certain enemies will give you their abilities. Defeating the snowman allows Kirby to

Kirby's been a ball before, but this isn't a pinball game.

Trial modes add value, but it’s ultimately a little too short and lacking in difficulty to occupy your DS for more than a couple of weeks. 8.0Overall: A great addition to the K
