TheFadedWarrior's Yoshi's Story Review!!Yoshi's Story is a fun side-scrolling semi-platformer where, of course, you play as dinosaurs from the Yoshi species. I hope you read this review and play the game for yourself.GraphicsThe graphics of this game are pretty good for the N64. They aren't blobby like most games (and compared to SM64 and Kirby 64, the graphics of this game are amazing), and there's an interesting mix of dimensions. The perspective is 3rd-Person, which isn't too much of a surprise, but half of the sprites are 2D (Poochy, Pak E. Derm), and the other half are 3D (Yoshi, Shy Guy). My only complaint is that the background has some really weird stuff in it. I give the graphics an 8.SoundMost of the music is very cheerful sounding, and always makes me smile. I figure that all Yoshi games have distinct tunes to them. You can find the full soundtrack here. The sound effects as well are very happy as well. I give the sound a 9.
Addictiveness
This game is pretty addictive. In my opinion, it's really fun to play as a Yoshi to kick the antagonist's and enemies' butts. I can't think of any other things to say other than that this game is really fun. I give the addictiveness an 8.
Story
There isn't much story to this game. Yoshi's Story is somewhat a sequel to Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island. What happens is Baby Bowser steals the Super Happy Tree, and all the Yoshis become grumpy. Your main goal in the game is to gather all the fruit they find to become happier and progress through the storybook (yes, they live in a book), and eventually find Baby Bowser and get the Super Happy Tree back. Every time you complete a world, it tells a little bit about how the Yoshis are doing. I give a story a 6.
Depth
This game isn't really that long, but it's not that short if you think about it. However, for an N64 platformer, it's really short. If you look at Super Mario 64 and Banjo-Kazooie, Yoshi's Story is equal to getting all the stars/jiggies in 2 levels. There is only 24 levels in the game (6 worlds, 4 levels in each), but, of course, there are the secret Black and White Yoshis to find. However, the stupidest thing is that you only need to beat 1 level to progress onto the next world. This guy beat the game in 16 minutes. Of course, though, he didn't get 100%. I give the depth a 6.
Difficulty
This game isn't really that difficult. I would have given the addictiveness a 9 if this game weren't that easy. The reason I called this game a semi-platformer is because this game really doesn't have too much hardcore platforming. In Yoshi's Island, sometimes you had to take a lot of risks. I feel that in Yoshi's Story, there aren't very many risks to take, which is a major disappointment. I give the difficulty a 5.
Overall
Yoshi's Story is a very fun, however very easy and short, game that has really good graphics. I would recommend this game to anyone who has an N64 or an account on Vizzed. I thoroughly enjoy playing this game, and now that you have read my review, I hope you play this game too. TheFadedWarrior's Yoshi's Story Review!!
