As far as level design goes it is pretty simple which I think is a good thing. It some times resembles Mario though. I think Nintendo really step up the graphic when Kirby is compare to Mario. The controls were good in that Kirby could do a number of different things with a relatively simple controller. In Kirby’s Adventure one could save throughout the game without a memory card which is a great characteristic in Nintendo games. The character design was fairly simple in a good way and I enjoyed Kirby’s personality. There is a fun, comedy feeling throughout most of the game which was entertaining. I think this can be seen in the short clips when Kirby moves on to the next area and in the bonus rounds like the quick draw. Overall Kirby is a great game and one of my favorite games.

Kirby Adventure is very similar to Mario which may be one reason why the game is successful. One aspect that makes Kirby a good game is how often Kirby can gain different abilities. Kirby gains these abilities by eating enemies and taking their abilities. Kirby's changing abilities help the game play remain interesting. Another thing I liked about the game was the bonus rounds. There are a number of different bonus rounds which help Kirby earn lives. My favorite one is the quick draw. Prior to this game I had never seen a quick draw element to a video game. I also like the chance to earn an extra life at the end of every level. Kirby’s ability to fly is also a great key element. It adds a new kind of challenge to a platform game.

After playing more Devil May Cry 3 I have come across a number of things I don’t like about the game one of which is the main character. The rest of the characters in the game seem ok but the main character just seems too arrogant for me. I also hate the catch phrases that he says all the time. As I played the game and executed fighting moves Dante would say a certain catch phrase depending on the move; this got old real quick. Many games have some problems with camera angle and this one is no exception. I mostly came across this problem when I was fight enemies. Even though the right analog stick controls the camera I felt that I didn’t have time to use it in this quick pace game. Another thing I didn’t like was how straight forward the puzzles and levels were. There was basically only one way to go the entire game. Even though there are a few problems with this game I still enjoyed playing.

Devil May Cry 3 in my opinion is the best one in the series of three. The game play to me was pretty fun. One of the qualities I liked about the game play was the speed of the game. It was fairly quick pace game which keeps you active and engaged in the game. Another good element of the game play was the array of moves and weapons available. The player is allowed to have four weapons equipped, two gun and a two melee weapons in a single level. Player movement also made for good game play in that Dante was able to move through the level quick and easily. The controls of the game designed fairly well and one quality I particularly like was the ability to change weapons and guns in the middle of the fight with a quick press of a button. I also like the challenge in the game. The enemies and bosses in the game created the main challenge. There was an obvious pattern to the A.I. but if you got hit they took enough life to make the game challenging. The cut scenes were worked in the game play well which was a good way to break the game up and add a story element to the game. So far this game seems to be a descent one.
