Yoshi's Island is an all-new platformer starring Yoshi and his friends! A mysterious floating island has suddenly appeared over Yoshi's peaceful home. Soon after its arrival, a gaggle of kids vanishes from the island school. Thankfully, Baby Mario, Baby Peach, Baby Donkey Kong and Baby Wario manage to avoid being kidnapped. Now, Yoshi and the four young superstars must set out on a wild and colorful quest to rescue the kids and investigate the ominous island hovering overhead. Thanks to the power of Nintendo DS, all of the lush vistas and perilous paths of Yoshi's Island span two screens.

Summary: Never got to try it
Comment: Unfortunately the package sent by Amazon never made it out of the USPS package processing mill. Even though the tracking number provided indicated it was just a few miles away, it never made the complete journey. Amazon most graciously refunded me, so even though very disappointed, it wasn't a complete disaster. My one star rating really isn't appropriate but you have to enter something.

Summary: Yoshi Is Back
Comment: Yoshis Island DS is the sequal to the original Yoshis Island. It is basically the same game but with some added stuff. You still have the same abilities like swallowing enemies, shooting eggs, ground pounding, jumping and fluttering, and if you touch an enemy the baby falls off and you have seconds to get it back.
In the first Yoshis Island baby mario was always with yoshi but now there are more including peach, DK, Wario, and Bowser. Each of the babies gives yoshi different abilities.
MARIO: Sprint
PEACH: Hover Longer
DK: Climbing vines, swinging, and a dash attack
Wario: Attracts coins
Bowser: Shoot Fire
I have only got to DK so far and the babies keep getting better as you go along.
If You liked the first Yoshis Island you will like this one even more. If you havent then you should definitley pick this one up.

Summary: A 10-year-old's review
Comment: Is the sequel as good as the wonderful SNES game, Yoshi's Island, and its GBA remake? Here is my answer: no, but it's a great game. For one thing, a few of the levels seem almost identical to one another. I would have liked for something new to crop up on every single level, like the original. However, something very interesting does crop up: the babies Yoshi is carrying on his back. Collecting flowers, red coins, and star points has returned from the original. Also back are the ground pounding, stomping, jumping, and making and throwing eggs. If you get 100 coins, you get a 1-up (as always). Yoshi can also do a hover jump, as usual. You can slurp enemies up with your tongue, as well. It seems a lot has returned from the previous game. The adventure starts out with Baby Mario and Yoshi, but then Babies Peach, DK, Wario, and Bowser join Yoshi's team, each of them having different abilities. Peach can hover, Mario can dash and hit "M" blocks that are only visible to him, DK can swing across vines, Wario can attract metal with his magnet, and Bowser can breathe fire. The only problem is that some of the levels feel like you have to do the same thing over and over. I would still highly recommend this game. It is a very great game.

Summary: Why must all the good games be killed
Comment: Nintendo really needs to put more effort into its games. It is unacceptable for the name of great games such as yoshi's island to be put to shame by crappy sequels. Furthermore, I have not found a single ds game to be satisfactory. Please stop making horrid games Nintendo.
Customer Rating:
Summary: Pretty good game
Comment: * The graphics for this game are adorable.
* It's an adventure with little action (Is that good or bad?).
* Control of characters is challenging.
* Very clever.
* Good for 4 yr olds.
