There is no higher difficulty level. There literally is NO way to die. I actually just finished playing this game and I didn't bother to finish it because I didn't feel any sense of achievement by simply collecting jewels throughout a level. I didn't even get to the Management simulator part of it, but it looks like I didn't miss much; like walking out of a bad movie before it's finished.esperandote said:
Yeah, I knew I wasn't going to be interested in the game, but the vid was worth the watch if only for Imp-KEA. I almost did a spit-take. (That'll teach me to not drink or eat while watching ZP.)
I never wanted to die so bad in a video game. I wanted to like it, but it was like I didn't even have to try, lol. Kirby Super Star and its difficulty was awesome in my childhood. 
Further proof that the Wii truly is meant for childeren. First adult who I see playing this game will get a lollypop and a colorful cap with a propeller on top from me.
Another epic review.
Kirby's Epic Yarn was pretty entertaining, granted you had no punishment for completely screwing up, aside from less shinies, but was still a neat way to blow some time.
Yahtzee should start doing some old school games as well. Would be interesting to see how Paper Boy holds up.

Can I have my lollipop now?The Human Torch said:
Hard as hell to find, even used. My neighbors stole my copy (long story) and I'm still waiting to hear back from the police. The lockon-free aiming really rocks in Prime 1 and 2 now, btw.icame said:
He is right. Modern gaming is shit. In fact 95% of all games coming out this year will be shit. So for the track record of the last 2 1/2 months have not been on the poor side. At less Yahtzee is not afraid to tell parents to fuck off. Kids should be studing. People wonder why I think the next generation of humanity will be the final one. So far kids are stupid as hell. Might as well sit here waiting for the nukes to take us all. Stupic fucks.
Wish he would address the second biggest problem with gaming. The Teens and very young adults. Which is why games like this is being made.

That game was awesome. My favorite part was getting to turn whatever powers you got into an ally.NightmareTaco said:I never wanted to die so bad in a video game. I wanted to like it, but it was like I didn't even have to try, lol. Kirby Super Star and its difficulty was awesome in my childhood.
Hilarious and true at the same time. I am a huge fan of the Kirby series so I was disappointed with how elementary this game is. Kirby's cute but his games usually fall into that category of games that loudly declare, "YOU SUCK" when you fail to do something. Not Epic Yarn. It really felt like my hand was being held throughout the majority of the game. The only real challenge was to make sure you got everything you needed within a level so you didn't have to go back and replay the whole thing for just one item.
Children eight and under might really like to own this game, but for everyone else I recommend a week-long rental.

Hmm, are we going into anagram territory now? I'd like to see some more of that.
In my opinion, I think that the whole detour to what this games teaches (or not) to young players took a bit long and detracted from an actual review of the game itself (storyline, design, play mechanics, etc). I did enjoy watching this review and Yahtzee's hypothetical child rearing prowess, but if I could not buy a game based on that review alone.
Good job!

Also, Care Bears: Epic Mecha Battles would rock.
Honestly lately sometimes I feel Yahtzee hates on games just to hate on them. There are so many great things about this game that he simply failed to mention, and a lot about it he just misinterpreted almost specifically to make it look worse than it is. Seriously, Yahtzee, what happened to you pointing out things that were actually bad in games and simply overblowing them for humor's sake? ZP is rather quickly working its way lower and lower on my priority of shows to watch on the Escapist...
