came for the main game, stayed for the masterpieces that are kirby quest, kirby's brawlball and strato patrol eos
kirby subgames have never hit this hard... except maybe drum dash.
i'd love to return to it now that i've played the pikmin games to see how i feel about the main game, but i don't have a ds at the moment.

not so great controls combined with the not so great ai lead to a lot of frustrating moments and it makes gold medaling all the levels more tedious than challenging. mediocre level design and 95% of all problems in this game can be solved by furiously swiping your kirbys at it and it ends up making the game boring and tedious real fast. every world has the same fucking lay out. the game is piss easy and makes it really hard for your kirbys die in combat, they'll most likely die from getting crushed due to ai and controls. bosses are lame and boring to fight with the only exception being the final one. the food system is is ok, after you reach the cap of 10 kirbys there's no point in going after the main collectable unless you want the game to come to a screeching halt for a second just to let you know you got a useless 10000 points. the game cockblocks you right before the final world and makes you go back through EVERY level in which you haven't collected a rainbow medal which is fucking annoying and adds to the tedium. story is whatever it's a kirby game. ost is not half bad and there's some good sprite work. the pinball, shoot em up and rpg minigames go way too hard for no reason and are the best things about this game.
Mass Attack is a wonderful new light on the Kirby series, and proves that a pikmin-esque platformer can work. While there are a few flaws with the touch controls lag and camera issues when there are a lot of Kirbys around; Mass Attack still shines through with its robust Kirby throwing/ solving gameplay and medal fetching side-quests. With a bunch of mini-games and a lot of levels to explore, Mass Attack is an excellent and highly replayable addition to the series.
