| Simple controls + addictive gameplay + a happy pink puffball = Kirby Air Ride! Though it received a shockingly low score from Gamespot, this game is definitely worth a buy! It includes 3 different game modes: Air Ride, a simple, standard racing game, where you can inhale enemies to copy their abilties, and use them to overtake the competition; Top Ride, a fun and addictive top-down racer with crazy items like a Buzzsaw and Snow Machine, and short, whimsical courses; and, my favorite, City Trial. City Trial has you riding around a city, riding different vehicles, and collecting power-ups to prepare for a Stadium challenge at the end. And, to top it all off, each mode features a huge checklist of 120 objectives, some of which, when completed, unlock bonuses! I highly recommend this one, if for nothing but the City Trial mode. |
