With its impeccable balance of difficulty, satisfyingly simple level design, and insurmountable overload of squishy charm, Return to Dream Land provides a platform experience that comes as close to perfect as one can get...Videogames simply do not get any more pure than Kirby's Return to Dream Land.

A very fun, classic game that delights in its streamlined, simple appeal. The gameplay avoids most of the conventions associated with modern day platformers, especially Wii platformers, but the new additions and ideas are placed tastefully without getting in the way of the classic feel of the franchise.

This is one of the greatest outings in Kirby's lineup. The gameplay is a perfected version of Kirby Super Star; very accessible, with enough movement and combat depth to satisfy any seasoned veteran. All of the additional characters (with the exception of Waddle Dee) are a blast to play, expanding upon the unique movesets even further. This all makes for an incredible multiplayer romp you can tear through with your friends.

Best game of the franchise and, for me, best game ever. Complete, funny to play alone or with friends, the plot is also very original and pleasant, as well as quite long for an adventure game.
I also find all the other mods and minigames funny and enjoyable.
THANK YOU FOR HAVING MADE MY CHILDHOOD BETTER

That said, any issues I have with Kirby's Return to Dream Land are relatively minor; this is an exceptional title, whether you're a longtime Kirby fan or not. [Oct 2011, p.80]

Kirby returns to the roots in a platformer designed for all kind of gamers. Not difficult, not deep and not innovative. However, it's still a Kirby game, and that means only one thing: big quality.

If not for its impressive graphics and completely insane multiplayer design, Return to Dreamland might be a tough sell. Despite his juvenile appearance, Kirby often plays host to some of Nintendo's most imaginative game design, yet Dreamland is anything but. It's a perfectly tame, perfectly predictable little platformer whose only real edge comes in its cooperative design and, to a lesser degree, in how dauntingly unforgiving the later, "secret" stages can be.

A good, solid platformer with several fun quirks, but has an issue with reusing the same gameplay elements for some of the stages and a rollercoaster-style of difficulty level.

The ambitions have been low at HAL Laboratory, and Kirby's Adventure simply isn't varied enough.

Nice and decent Kirby game if you like Kirby. That's kinda about it. I don't have much.

A pretty good platformer, but also pretty standard fare though. There's nothing that really stands out here, to make it an excellent must-play experience. Personally, I enjoyed Epic Yarn more - I felt there was a lot more creativity in that game. But don't get me wrong, this is overall a fun experience, and especially accessible to younger children. Recommended if you can find it at a bargain price.

It´s an OK game.However, the story is kinda **** mean, first the guy helps you, then turns evil for apparently NO FREAKING REASON!!!Not to say that this game is too easy!

로보보가 훨씬 재밌음 엑스트라 모드는 JOAT 그자체고 맵 구성이 너무 단순하고 슈퍼능력 구간은 좆노잼이고 추가 컨텐츠나 엑스트라 스테이지같은게 없어서 그닥
차라리 스얼이 컨텐츠는 많아서 더 나은듯
