Definetly a Kids game

I purchased Yoshi's Story hoping that the Yoshi character would be more like the Yoshi of Super Nintendo fame. I thought that the levels would be a little bit challenging, but I didn't expect the game to be a little kids game. This game is definetly good for ages 0-6, but anyone that is older that plays it will probably not get much of a thrill. I only gave it a two star rating because of the enjoyment that it gave my younger brother. I got no thrill. I beat the game in a couple hours and wasn't impressed at all with it's graphics. There are SNES games with much better graphics that are much more worthwhile to get. If I had it to do over again, this game would definetly not be in my possession.

Good for the little people...

Yoshi's Story is a game that is definetly for the younger group. Its a storybook happy world. Yoshi (a cute originally green dinosaur with a long toung to devour enemies, eat fruit, and pop out eggs) and all of his friends are out to save the Super Happy Tree that the bad dinosaur Bowser has stolen. Eat fruit along the way to help keep your strength up. The music is fun and catchy, the sound effects are harmless, and the Yoshi's are so cute and make funny noises. This is a good game for those who have just bought this system, or for begginers. I wouldn't suggest it to a three year old, because it may be to diffucult (there are some things that they might not understand or get to frusterated with), but anyone between 4-10 or maybe 11 would enjoy the game and it would make them feel good about themeselves. This is deffinetly a good game for the middle (between 1 and 10) aged kids, it's not to blow-em-up, and it's not to "kiddish" like Elmo games. It's a good game that will make kids feel good about themeselves. For the older group I would suggest that you would just rent this game, you wouldn't want to buy it.

A friendly and fun game with some friendly and fun friends

Yoshi's Story is a cute game where you can play as yoshis in a happy world. The object of the game is to eat fruit from a stolen tree and to defeat baby bowser. If you are unsure who Yoshi is,he is a friendly little dinosaur who has a long tougne to eat fruit. Yoshi and five other yoshis are out to save the super happy tree that Baby Bowser stole from them. It's a cute game and you'll probably beat it in a few days but it's really for younger children. The graphics are really good and the gameplay is easy to learn and the sound is alright. Rent it for some quick fun but if liked Yoshi's past games I suggest you buy it.

Yoshi's Story is a great game for kids

My little brother bought this game three weaks ago and enjoys it very much. I think that its quite easy but fun. I would have enjoyed it more if it was harder, more missions and 3D graphics. But for a young kid its perfect. I personaly think that its a three pointer but my little brother would give it ten stars if it was availible. I've already completed the game but my brother is stuck on "baby-Bowser". Because its so simple its good for beginners. I also think that the Yoshis are adorable.

The Power of Yoshis!

This is a good game if you like Mario.

Out of the blue the island fell darkened by an evil spell the blink of an eye was all it took and the island became a story book!The Super Happy Tree was lost too and once happy Yoshis begane to stew.
Thats right!Baby Bowser has used his evil to turn the Yoshi island into a story book!But...
Elsewhere on the pop-up isle some Yoshi eggs survived the trial!
And its there job to stomp Baby Bowsers hide!
Yoshis can eat fruit(and enemys)with a flick of the tounge,pound the ground to find secrates and throw eggs.There are lots of items including coins and red and blue Happy Hearts that go ding-ding-ding-ding when you near them.And who could forget the floating row boats and the umbrella on the Bumber Chute.There are special flowers to eat one gives you more power another turns you into a bouncing egg!There are pipes to slide through and hearts that make Yoshi super happy!There are question boxes,more egg boxes and a cute puppy called Pochie!

You start the game with six Yoshis green,red,yellow,dark blue,light blue and pink.Hidden in specific levels though are special Yoshi eggs!They come in white and black.Purple Yoshi can be obtained by doing something special.But if you die you lose that yoshi for good.Not even White ShyGuy can restore them!There are only two black and white eggs and one purple!

Some of the games include a Melon Race where you fly over some numbers and in another you have to carry crates from the begining to the end.Its fun!Yoshi can also lick a red circle to pull him or her to a higher place.Its lots of fun to get seven melons and have a Super Happy Heart parachute down.

I love this game and highly recomened it!See ya!!!!!!!

A beautiful piece of work

While many people have said this game is "sinchy" or "kiddie" because is looks cute and/or is too easy, I hardly think so. Pesonally, I think the graphics are incredibly good and really show Mr. Myamoto's unique side(the side he shows to everyone), and the music is so charming, that you can't help to get drawn into the game after listening to its wonderful tunes. As for the games length and challenge level, the game is rather short to beat(if you don't count finding all of the secrets and unlocking all of the levels beating the game) and the levels arn't extremly challenging, but hey!, who said that callenge is all that matters in a game, huh? What this game lacks in lenth and challenge it more than makes up for with hard-to-find secrets, beautiful graphics and music, and just plain FUN!!!

Very good game

This is a very good game and the grapics are good, but there is only one problem... It isn't 3D...but that doesn't take away from the excitement of the game. You start out with six yoshis, but as you progress you can unlock a white yoshi and a black yoshi. The game itself has many levels and areas to play in..a few of them look sort of alike. But i recomend this game to any age, if you are a Super Mario fan, than this game is perfect for you! HIGHLY recommeded!!

Great for little kids--not great for teenagers

Yoshi's Story was very cute and had fun sounds to listen to that the Yoshi's made. But as I played the game I found that it wasn't very challenging. But later, when my little neighbor played it, she was very fascinated. Therefor if you are under the age of 10 or 11, you will probably find this game to be a great. But if you are above the age 11, this game will be a waste of time after you've won it (which won't take long).

Fun, but way too easy

It was really fun going through the world of Yoshi's, but the game was too easy. I beat it in a few hours. When I buy a video game, I want one that will take weeks to beat, not hours. Still, it was a fun game with cute characters.
