I bought this on a whim. I read it was good but didn't really know what to expect. It is a beautiful story the type that leave the audience feeling good and refreshed. It was a lot funnier, at times, than I thought it would be. It's a tale about loss but well done and uplifting. The animation is nice too. This is my dark horse movie of the year, never saw it coming. Love it, have lent it to friends and they love it too. It's good for everyone.

It's Ghibli but not Miyazaki. The story felt predictable to me, but it was were drawn. I really didn't like the protagonist at the beginning but by the end she grew on me. This isn't a bad movie, and a friend of mine who is a tough film buff actually enjoyed this a lot more than me. This maybe hit or miss, don't expect a ponyo, cat returns, spirited away, or neighbor Totoro story. Has a bit more serious tone, but not too serious if you now what I mean.

There are four different shorts directed by well known directors. One of the shorts was even nominated for an academy award. They all deal with Japanese culture in one way or another, but the different art styles and story telling feel new and refreshing when going from one tale to the next. Highly recommend.

If you are interested in this, you've probably already watched season 1 and if you haven't....well what are you waiting for GO SEE THAT FIRST! Season two is great, each episode can be enjoyed by its self. The voices and characters are funny. This is from the creators of cowboy bebop (I think) and its kinda the same but funny. I 100% recommended. This is must buy.

Sprite animation is just beautiful, I really like the backgrounds as well. The fight mechanics are deep. There is a story mode but I haven't really played it, I'm not expecting much. So far online connection has been great, multiplayer lobbies are setup like virutal arcades and is kinda fun. I'm new to the blazblue series but love what I've played. If you like guilty gear Xrd or KOF XIII you may like this one too.

Graphics are great, the character/enemy design is beautiful, the world is amazing however it is difficult. I died 6 times at the beginning of the game, that is a trend in this game. Because of its difficulty I haven't finished the game yet, however I will continue playing it. The controls are little hard getting use to but I love the speed of action in this game. Fan of dark souls, or just like tough games, then get this game!

Graphics....wow, the drops of water running down the cowl look amazing. The grapple works, compared to Arkham origins. The missions aren't anything new, but the riddler ones involving the batmobile are great. I haven't finished the game but so far love everything I've seen. If you're a batman fan, this is a must. If you love open world games, this is also a must. I don't like the idea of planned $39 dlc but if it adds to the story I'll be all over it.

C.S. Lewis “Critics who treat 'adult' as a term of approval, instead of as a merely descriptive term, cannot be adult themselves. To be concerned about being grown up, to admire the grown up because it is grown up, to blush at the suspicion of being childish; these things are the marks of childhood and adolescence. And in childhood and adolescence they are, in moderation, healthy symptoms. Young things ought to want to grow. But to carry on into middle life or even into early manhood this concern about being adult is a mark of really arrested development. When I was ten, I read fairy tales in secret and would have been ashamed if I had been found doing so. Now that I am fifty I read them openly. When I became a man I put away childish things, including the fear of childishness and the desire to be very grown up.”
― C.S. Lewis
Why did I provide the quote above? Well Kirby and the Rainbow curse is cute, colorful, and fun. Many people bash the wii u for its "childish" titles, favoring realistic violence over whimsical fantasy. Kirby is a title that I know will get overlooked by many simply because the protagonist is a pink ball of cuteness. The graphics look great and the art style chosen is claymation, giving the game a fun and unique look and feel. However, you will be looking at the gamepad a lot because you have to use the stylus to move Kirby making it almost impossible to enjoy the beautiful colors on your HD TV, this is my only gripe with the game.
The controls are a little awkward, as stated before you use a stylus to navigate Kirby, you don't really control him, it's nice and feels responsive. Though it may take time getting use to.
The gameplay is fun, navigating areas and unlocking chests rewards you with statuettes to observe in a gallery plus music to listen. If your a collectionist you will love what is offer. The game has multiplayer, however I haven't played it yet.
Lastly, the game is only $39.99, it's approiately priced considering the cool level design and art style. It's a game that should be played and enjoyed by everyone. Bright, colorful, and cute. A great distraction from all the doom and gloom of more "mature" titles.
+graphics/art style +music is great +nicely priced +fun gameplay with some replay-ability/ multiplayer
-I spend more time looking at the Wii U pad and not my HD TV, the pad is great and all but does not do the game Justice.

This game is big and beautiful. The amount of stuff to do and explore could take days to finish. The game offers a lot. It's graphics are solid, the music is great and the gameplay (FPS) mechanics feel on point. However, the story wasn't the greatest and some of the characters were forgettable. I think you may like this title if ( played co-op with friends), love FPS or simply tired of the standard run of the mill military shooter. Kyrat is different, not a conventional setting. Riding elephants and hunts tigers or summoning Tigers doesn't really get old.

Graphics are good, and it has fantastic RPG elements but the characters (at least for me) are dull and boring. That for me basically killed any enthusiasm I had for the game. Don't get me wrong, it's a good game but it's not for everyone.
