    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.

    While it's pretty easy to do the minimum required to pass each checkpoint, getting special items will demand a flexible imagination that stretches far beyond simple 2D. [Sept 2005, p.81]

    There is truly no game experience like Yoshi: Topsy Turvy, and this puts it in a unique place. For what it is, Yoshi's latest adventure is a success, but one could only imagine what a great game this could have been.

    It feels incredibly hard to master, and at times the levels just come across as a little bit too overwhelming.

    Everything about the game feels like it needs just a little bit more polish, especially the tilt sensor. What could be a very innovative and fun mechanic to add to a platforming game ultimately falls short of its goal and only manages to hamper the gameplay.

    Unlike most Nintendo-published titles, the game really feels like it lacked direction, and as a result the game is more annoying than fun. If you're a diehard for Yoshi platformers, you'll enjoy the game on some.

    This is a rushed job and one of Nintedo's worst in several years. Are these games filled with broken tilt mechanisms? You decide.
