I do hereby bestow this game with the Hostile Creation Award of Awesomeness. The game is:
A - Beautiful. I love the graphics, they're absolutely gorgeous. I've seen Wind Waker influenced effects here and there, and it's a good addition, but for the most part it has a unique style (that's still true to the Kirby style of past games).
B - Long. For me, anyway. I've already beat two areas (only missing two medals), but I'm going to have to go for 100% as per usual and it's going to keep me busy for a very long time.
C - Intuitive. The controls are much more natural than I expected them to be, the level design is great, and the new high jump game is a good ending game.
D - New. I like the way they're doing the bosses in this game, interesting approach. Not to mention the controls and all, etc.
E - Friggin' fun. It's a Kirby game. What can I say? I've always loved Kirby, and HAL has made yet another amazing game.
I think the control scheme might get a little tiresome, since it's rather limited, but that's yet to be seen. It's fun so far.
