This game is an actually good sequel
Nintendo has always been doing a good job, and always improving from the past. However, some games were so good, that it seemed nearly impossible they could be improved. Yoshi’s Island DS is one of the few improvements to a game that is already nearly perfect. Anyone who said sequels were a bad thing, were proved wrong when they set their hands on this masterpiece. Yoshi’s Island DS is a 2-D plat former in which you take control of a Yoshi in an attempt to reach the goal of the level. Although it may sound identical to the first one, this game has its numerous twists, adding to the already present fun. When you first pop this game in your DS and turn it on, you may be bewildered, or you may be slightly amused. Those who played the original will be slightly amused, those who are bewildered are those new to the series. I must admit the beginning short movie thing seems way too identical to the story of the original game, and at first I thought it was the same exact thing remade. As you start to play World 1, everything seems to identical to the initial game. Well, as you progress you notice things begin to change. Among reaching the first fort (World 1-4) you will see that the boss is different. Also, Baby Peach who is found in World 1 changes everything. Her ability to help Yoshi fly due to certain winds is fun and okay at first, but after you unlock her more fun things occur. Once you move through the game, you eventually unlock the other babies, and inherit their special traits. All of the babies help you out, and are required for certain locations. Levels are different, and Worlds change completely when getting further. You may eventually find the game to be tricky, as some aren’t just running through. Puzzles come about and mazes are sent at you. Forts and Castles soon get harder, and story becomes more and more suspenseful. So far, I’m finding the game short, but believe me, it does get more challenging the farther you proceed. The usual items are there for you to collect to achieve a high score in each level, and the game is played on both screens, making things confusing and also enjoyable. The graphics are improved and seem to be brighter… Overall this game was worth it, and I really enjoy it! No matter how mature you are, you just can’t say no to this instant classic.
