just played an hour of yoshis new island and i came out impressed....i never played the ds one but did beat the snes one (which was overrated imo)

there is much more challenge in yoshi than kirby...the collectibles are better and harder to get...the bosses are less of a hassle....coleecting gems in kirby was a pain.

you can actually die in yoshi....the music is good and the 3d is very nice as well..i like it on.

should of got at least a 7...though i would give it an 8. oh well...i hope people still buy this great game.
