I got my nintendo DS right when it came out. The DS wasn't up to par till this game came along and i nabbed it the first week it came out. Once i got this game, it was hard to put down. Kirby: Canvas Curse only could be played on the nintendo DS, since the 'magical paint brush' is created by the stylus. Having this game will make you feel appreciative of the DS and its' unique cababilities. Here are my 1-10 rating for different categories on Kirby: Canvas Curse =
*Presentation = 9/10. Not anything bad to say about that.
*Graphics = 7/10. The game doesn't need 3D to thrive.
*Lasting Appeal = 7.5/10. For what the game is, the adventure lasts a long time and never gets old, but lack of multiplayer brings the quality down.
*OVERALL* = 8.7/10!! Highly recommended to any DS owners.
