Ah Yoshi... you finally have your own game. Question is... why are there different color shy guys? And when you eat them, they turn into eggs that you can throw and kill the other ones with? LOL. *gets a spoiled tomato thrown at him* fine. I will get on with the review already. Jeesh. Let me have my moment...
I remember this game growing up. I played this, Banjo and Kazooie, and Cruisin' USA, along with 2 Star Wars games, but I played this one a lot.
For a game that was done 2D on purpose, when it could have been 3D... it was still pretty good. The graphics were pretty 2D, but there were some 3D aspects in there, here and there, which I though was pretty interesting. And they did a pretty good job of making the characters the 3D, but the background and the maps, so to speak, 2D. I even like the book, how it seems like a pop-up book. Therefore, I am giving the graphics a 9.
The sound... for a Yoshi game... aww yeah. They were good. The sound that Yoshi makes... *Yoshi!!!* with his accent and all that is just cool in my opinion. And then the dragon in Chapter 2, and some other things were done really well. Therefore, I am giving the sound a 8.
Alright... so now I have to talk about the addictiveness, huh? Well, if you love Yoshi, then game is going to be addictive as mess. But... if you hate Yoshi, then yeah. I mean, it's a pretty good game, I like it, and I like it. But, you know: it's just one of those games that you have to like the character or like the story line to be really addicted to it. So the addictiveness is getting a 6.
As for the story? Man... Yoshi has to go through all these crazy things... trying to survive and stuff. Actually, there isn't much a story really. Just Yoshi going through these different world's, and you have to survive and stuff. So the story is getting a 4 this time.
The depth of the game was pretty neat though. If you died with one Yoshi, you could get another one. There are 6 different colored Yoshi's in the game. And then the whole pop-up book for the title screen was pretty cool too. The game takes awhile to beat, and there are a lot of stages and levels and worlds. One thing I don't like though... you can't jump from one world to another one. That is one of the only things that stunk about this game. So, the depth of the game gets a 9.
And now for the difficulty. The game it hard in some places. In others, it is pretty easy. The game is fun, but there is one or two parts that were really mean to me. :/ The game is not hard. The game is hard enough to make you die here and there, and still have fun while are you at it. And, the Shy Guys are not that hard to kill, if you do it right, but the dragon in the 2 world, and some other things really got on my nerves.
So... it's been great doing another review for you guys. Hope you liked this one. I tried out a new review style.
