Yoshi's Island DS is a great successor to the first Yoshi's Island, but nothing, not even this, beats the original.
[THE BAD] The puzzles and item collecting are sometimes annoying and frustrating
I have been waiting for this game ever since June, and it has become one of my favorites, even though the first is better. Anyway, on to the review!
The controls are just the same as the original Yoshi's Island, but you can set them at the options menu. += move, A= jump, B= lick, spit out, Y, X or R= aim egg, shoot egg, and L= lock the aimer. These controls are fairly easy, and you'll get used to them if you aren't already.
Gameplay is great, just like its previous game. Semi-challenging puzzles make this a fun and sometimes frustrating game. Bosses are fun and they are all defeated differently, so it never gets repetitive.
In Yoshi's Island DS, you can unlock a total of 5 different babies: Mario, Peach, DK, Wario, and Bowser. And if you beat the game, you unlock 5 secret levels, one for each world. Then if you get a 100 on every level in a world, you can unlock an extra level.
A good thing that improves this game from its proceeder is that in the secret levels you can be black Yoshi and in the secret levels- white Yoshi!
Well thats my review! I hope you liked it! This game may not be batter than the original, but it sure lives up to its predecessor.
