I love getting games that make you feel really good. Reign of Fire was one, not many people thought much of it but I've got a lot of enjoyment out of it. I just felt good that went with my instinct and bought it, despite iffy reviews.
Kirby Air Ride is one of these games.
I'm been having so much fun with it recently, probably the most fun I've had on the Cube only second to Mario Kart: Double Dash!!
Playing the one player game alone gets boring before too long, but if you try to complete the various checklist challenges, you'll be plugging away for ages. It reminds of the games of old, like Killer Instinct, having to play and play until you complete a certain task.
Completing time trials within a certain limit on one specific vehicle will win you checklist spaces, along with a whole load of other challenges. It's so very, very addictive, and a game that, while it is very simplistic, needs to mastered if you want to get the msot out of it.
Yesterday I was playing it for about 2 hours, trying to complete 2 different challenges. I completed the first one after a fair amount of racing, and the second one I got so very close (I had to complete one race within 3'15", but only managed to get 3'15"23), but strangely the frustration of losing didn't stop me from enjoying Kirby burning around in his weird looking star thing.
Ah, it's so very brilliant. Pure, simplistic, Nintendo fun. Sorry about *another* Kirby topic, but meh, it deserves a couple. :-)

Ah yes Prince of Persia...
I continue my battle through the game.

Prince Of Persia was like that. It was just loads of fun. Except when there were about 50 enemies to fight and it got boring. Until you got that crazy sand/sword at the end and just sliced up everything in sight like an elephant through warm butter.
