Title: What's the verdict on Yoshi's Island DS?
Post by: Oblivion on February 04, 2012, 06:20:30 PM

I started playing Yoshi's Island again recently, and got a hankering for some more. How's the DS version?

at the beginning it feels like a shitty attempt at cloning the original without understanding it, but there is some great (and challenging) level design in there (about half of the levels are good). basically, everything presentation-y that was great about the original game (boss fights, music, overall "flow") is lame here, but the actual meat of the game is (mostly) just as good.

The level design is most often pretty horrendous.

Terrible.

Edit: Nevermind, I was thinking of Yoshi's Touch and Go, I don't remember if I've ever played Yoshi's Island DS.

it's really underrated. The later levels are harder then most other mario games.

Really bland, bad level design, lots of cheap deaths, horrible music. Definitely a disappointment and not a patch on the original.

Man, I wish I could jump in here to defend the level design's honor, as I remember really liking about half of it, but too bad I don't remember enough detail to go into specifics.
