Maybe it's just me, but I had a difficult time understanding this game. I always like a game with a goal, and this one doesn't seem to have one. I also couldn't figure out any strategy. Maybe I'm trying to put too much into it, and need to just relax and enjoy what's there.
Really fun, but too easy

I rented this game and loved it. I missed all the side-scrolling mario games from the old Nintendos, but there aren't many for 64. This one was what I was looking for, but way too easy. It only took me a few hours to beat the whole game. I don't remember if I had it on "easy" or if there were settings or not, but it was easy. I also liked how I could switch the text over to Japanese.

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.
Yoshi's Story is a great game for kids

Yes, this game is very easy which makes it great for kids. My son also enjoys playing Super Mario World 64 and Super Mario Kart Racing.

I found this game very fun. The graphics and music are great! The "sniff" effect was awesome. As is the way you can switch the text to 3 different languages.
Fun,but fast

I really liked this game! It was fun, exciting, cute (adorable!), and the list goes on. The only word that doesn't describe this game is challenging. I beat it in one day. One day! And I can't even get past easy games! If you have younger childern who are past Elmo games but before Zelda, I would recomend this game.
Fun, cute, but realllly easy

I really liked this game. It has excellent graphics and many different levels. The Yoshis are really cute and my little brother loved being able to choose different coloured Yoshis. 'Trial Mode' was good as well. The gameplay was fun and interesting, but it was all over before I knew it. It was so easy! This game would be better if it was longer and more difficult. I would reccomend this game to all younger gamers.
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.
An Excellent Game

I would have to say that I extreamly enjoyed this game. My boyfriend gave me an N64 for my birthday last year (my poor little sega genesis died :o( and I was trying to get used to the new controler and such, well he first put me on 007 the James Bond game... Lets just say that was a mess. But then he bought me Yoshi's story and it was incredibly cute, colorful, and offered me a fun chance to get to know my system. I love games like this just because I think that they appeal to younger kids as well as older. It wasn't as challenging as some other games, but I wouldn't trade it in, it's really a great buy. I love it!
