Played through several courses with the wife. It's very much like Canvas Curse, as expected. I'm enjoying it but also sort of not...I guess because I'm stuck playing on the game pad while my wife gets to play on the big screen. Secondary players can move and fight like normal while Kirby just rolls around.
Enjoying it enough to play it through all the way but haven't decided if I'll replay levels to pick up collectables I missed or not. If you liked Canvas Curse, then you'll most likely like Rainbow Curse, but part of the charm of CC was the DS. It carries over well to the game pad, obviously, but sort of bothers you when you want to playing your $40 on your big screen
Then again, maybe that's part of why it's only $40.
Don't get me wrong, I expected this since I knew how the game would control, but it's still a bit disheartening, at least for me. For those who will be playing solo and like playing on the game pad, then no worries. For those playing with the wife and kids, the more people (up to 4 including you), the more hectic but probably the more fun it'll be.
It's going by quick, too, so there's a decent chance I'll finish it this weekend unless there's a lot of unlockable levels or something, or if the difficulty ramps up (which I doubt - Kirby games are usually easy all the way through or a bit harder all the way through). Either way, I'll report back more later this weekend.
Okay, well, there is one stage so far where you become a tank and blow a ton of shit up and your charge move like that involves you opening up a bunch of hidden missiles then blasting them all at once. That was pretty great
