Uff. The game just favors only one gimmick ...heavy stun lock overuse. Poor design. Miserable experience.

Único juego, hasta ahora, de carreras con el universo de Kirby, altamente caótico y a su vez altamente entretenido, un juego altamente recomendable para jugar con amigos ya que tiene muchos modos multiplayer, en un comienzo es confuso pero a las pocas partidas le vas tomando la mano.

The best way I can sum up the genius of Kirby Air Ride is as a game you play on your birthday. Each time I have played this with other people, whether new to the game or not, it feels like a game you have just unwrapped and eagerly cram into your Gamecube so you and your friend can try it out.

It's a massively multiplayer party game before each were fully defined. Okay, yes, both existed, but Kirby Air Ride takes enough chances to feel daring for its time and ours! Will I ever sit down and play by myself? Hmmm.. I don't know... Will I ever play for longer than one, short, possibly soft drug-fueled hangout/kickback? Hmmm... I don't know, the controls are kind of weird and it's offputting... that's what some of you may say but give it a chance amen

Kirby Air Ride may not have gotten the best review scores, but man it is still one of my favorite games. Why you ask? Two words: City Trial. Lol xD. My friends/family and I would literally just spend hours upon hours in that mode.
