Although originally designed for younger gamers, Yoshi's Island still gives a fun experience to all ages. There are dozens of secrets and levels to play. I especially like the fact that it is one of the few games left where we do not have to worry about getting "contaminated" with violence and horror images. Believe this, there are still people in this world that enjoy "CLEAN GAMING." Wish there were MORE games left like this. I am never left with feelings of weirdness after playing this game, or games like this one , such as "Super Mario" 64, or any Mario series. I highly recommend this game to anyone who is tired of the blood and gore of the other types of games. Any of you parents who guard their children's mental health, this one is a good and wholesome one. ENJOY!!!!
Underrated, but not amazing. (4 stars)

Due to the success of the phenomenal Yoshi's Island for the SNES, it can be understood why many gamers view Yoshi's Story for the N64 as a disappointment. But does that truly make it a bad game?
The biggest complaint with this game is that people say that the game is far too easy to complete. While it is true that the Story Mode is ridiculously short (you only play 6 of the 24 stages) by completing each level in story mode by going through it multiple times, you can play them on Trial Mode (where you choose which of the 24 levels you want to play, in any order.)
The gameplay is very simple - the objective in each stage is to eat 30 fruits which are scattered throughout the levels. Sounds simple enough if you're only trying to win the game with the lowest requirements (similar to playing Super Mario 64 and fighting Bowser with 70 stars instead of getting all 120.) Playing this way is ridiculously easy and will take at most 45 to 60 minutes to accomplish.
However, the game's challenge comes in getting high scores in Trial Moade. In order to maximize your score, you must eat a particular fruit - melons. There are exactly 30 of them on each stage and going through the levels only eating melons is difficult on almost every level, seeing as though they are not always in plain sight and can be found by accessing certain secret areas of each level. This is a very difficult challenge, and to do this on all 24 levels will take about 15 to 20 hours to do so.
As for the graphics, sound and controls, they're decent for 1998 (except the sound and music, which due to it's "cuteness" can get very irritating at times) and the game controls very well, as every other game developed by Nintendo is.
If you are looking for a decent challenge, buy this game and go for all the melons in all 24 levels. You won't be dissapointed. But if you just want to play through the game, steer clear, you will not enjoy this game.
REALLY FUN
