‘Kirby Star Allies’ is fun, but sometimes too shallow

by Evan Hatfield of the Ball State Daily News The Kirby series has been pretty reliable for Nintendo in the past few years in terms of quality games. Kirby Triple Deluxe was a fun (if somewhat bland) addition to the series, while Kirby Planet Robobot added some nice new twists to a familiar formula. Kirby Star Allies is more like Planet Robobot than Triple Deluxe.  Its new take on cooperative multiplayer leads to fun times for everybody involved and the new possibilities that come from being able to make friends with enemies are genuinely exciting.   Even so, the game would be even better if it were a lot longer (and a bit harder) than it is, especially considering the $60 price tag on it.

Even enemies can be friends now
