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.

Old favorite :)

I played this so much when I was younger, I'm only 18 now, but I saw it on here and HAD to buy it. I basically went through the levels so fast, and kind of got bored, the game wasn't as interesting as I used to think it was. One thing is that I try going through it so fast that I end up falling in one place and get so frusterated I give up, but over all.. great game for kids or people who are easily entertained. I still play on occasion.

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!!!!

Great for beginners and the experienced

Most people think this game is stupid and easy. The game is pretty easy, but I enjoy it because I'm a little new to the N64. I don't have one, but if I go to a hotel and it has video games, I'll play Yoshi's Story. Like I said, this is a good starting game for new N64 players, and even advanced players should like this. I'm a huge fan of Yoshi, and the fact that they're baby Yoshis may seem stupid, but it is rather cute. I swear, Yoshi's Story is a great game! But, it's not as great as Yoshi's Island, which has more opprotunities.

surprisingly average by Nintendo standards

Here's the thing- Yoshi's Story is an okay game by itself, but the fact that the superior Yoshi's Island for the Super NES exists means this game is pretty much forgettable.

I remember when Yoshi's Story was first released and how everyone HATED it back then. Today, time has been somewhat better to the game, but not by much. It's STILL not that great of a game.

It's too easy and not complex like Yoshi's Island. THAT was a game that was really good for its time.

I wouldn't dismiss Yoshi's Story, but I wouldn't rush out and buy it either.

Fun for me.

I was happy that a Yoshi game came out so I bought it. Most people don't like the music or gameplay but I do. I think it was kind of neat for the to make the enviorment look like cardboard. It's also nice that you can choose what color Yoshi you want. That's my opinion.

Colorful

Yoshi's Story is a bright and cheerful game.
This is more for the lil kids,
However I found it quite fun.
The music isn't horrible as many reviewers suggested.
It's just the kind of music that grows on you.
The game itself is fairly long, and the levels are
somewhat unique.

this game sucks big time

Yoshi's Story is an insult to many Yoshi fans. Here is what I have to say. I don't want to write a full review for this... thing that my parents paid nearly 12 dollars for.

Graphics (6/10)
Just pure eye candy. And eye candy doesn't make a bad game good.

Sound/Music (0/10)
I feel like my intelligence is being insulted by this music. It's for preschoolers! I, being in eighth grade, feel as though listening to this music for just an hour will cause my brain to turn into mush and make me get a whole bunch of B's, C's and D's on my report card. I am a straight-A student.

Replayability (0/10)
Don't even go there. Each LEVEL takes five minutes. Now with my algebraic math skills... l = number of levels. t = time in minutes to complete a level. l=24 and t=5. 24 times 5 is 120 minutes to win each level. Ha! And Story mode only lets you play 6 levels! That's 30 minutes to win the ENTIRE GAME!

Overall (1/5)
We should be able to give 0 star ratings...
