Yoshi´s Story (N64)

The sequel to the highly popular SNES game, Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island, arrives as an update for the N64. The game has remained faithful to the original: it has retained the 2D format, rather than the more common 3D, and some of the features from the original game, such as the eating of various objects, and the general movement of Yoshi, have remained intact. No appearance from the moustachioed Mario either, not even in baby form, giving Yoshi a chance to shine; or so you would think. The story of the game is probably about as corny as possibly could be constructed. The main objective ... more

To be honest, I was a little dismayed by the reviews this game got when it came out; but, nonetheless, I went out and bought it and haven't been truly disappointed at any stage. This isn't to say that Yoshi's Story 64 doesn't have its little foibles which get on your nerves; for example, the way the stage on each world you choose influences the number of stages that will be available to you in the next world (if, for example, you choose Level 1 in World 1, Level 1 ONLY will be available to you in World 2 onwards). The fact that only one player can save their game irritates all except the ... more

Aah, yoshi's story. The memories. It was the first game I got with my N64, but also the first game I sold with my N64. It is a 2D platformer - rare on the N64. And it's so...darn...cute. . You play as the Yoshis, finding their way through a storybook. The graphics are good - pre-rendered, but - as with the whole game - in two dimensions. The sound is reasonable, but the irritatingly cheerful music begins to get on your nerves, and the yoshi's singing...well, let's just say that the mute button may be used for the first time in your television's life with Yoshi's story. The rest of the effects ... more

This game is by nintendo. Every game Nintendo does is good. This is no exception, although its different. This game takes a break from the normal violent or competetive nature of the normal games, this is relaxing. Yoshis story employs you to take command of the 8 yoshis (including black and white) to rescue the Supper Happy Tree from the evil clutches of baby bowser. The Graphics here are in a world of their own - bright, colourful and original. The sounds and music reflects the overall cute look of the game - the tunes'll get you singing along, and the overall layout is impressive. Not ... more

This game is beautifully constructed, t he graphics are supreme for a single player 2-d adventure game. There are nice touches to the gameplay, such as the addition of the mario one style warp pipes, and this is a classic SNES conversion gmae, on the N64. The graphics have been given th e2-D but 3-D impression, making the game look lovely. The water effects on the later levels are astounding. The time that come when you have to enter the water for the later levels allows you to take in the graphical splendour of the game, however, the gameplay is the one thing that lets the game down. The game ... more
