  • Summary: Get ready for a unique game experience that challenges you to tilt Yoshi through topsy-turvy worlds. By tilting the Game Boy Advance SP, you'll turn the environment around Yoshi to knock over enemies, swing pendulums, and help him run up walls and leap pits. Yoshi's Island is trapped in a storybook, and only by meeting the challenges of each chapter will you succeed. Expand

  1. The game is short, but the last chapter can be pretty challenging and the main boss fight is a serious pain in the, uhh, wrist.
  2. There really isn't much in the way of replay value once the game is beaten, as players will see most everything the first time through, and spikes in frustration due to the technology – not game design – will keep most from wanting to make a return visit.
  3. The game is solid, displaying the attention to detail you'd expect from a Nintendo-published platformer. [Aug 2005, p.84]

    Yoshi's latest adventure simply proves that it really doesn't matter which way you look at a mediocre game -- it's boring from every angle, and no amount of spin can prove otherwise.
