Feeling elevated?
- by Alana Hagues
Kirby and his warp star are back in action thanks to Kirby Air Riders, and we believe many of you have been soaring through the skies (and the “city”) to unlock everything this past weekend.
The unexpected sequel to the underappreciated GameCube racer Kirby Air Ride has outperformed its 2003 predecessor, enhanced by stunning graphics and performance, an abundance of characters and stages, and numerous customized vehicles.
It’s an absolute joy with friends, and our very own PJ O’Reilly concurs, awarding the game an 8/10, encapsulating that “This is undoubtedly a chaotic and frenetic racer, but it possesses depth for those wishing to hone their skills and ample competition available both online and at more challenging levels for enthusiasts.”
