Yoshi's NEW Island 4/10
I bought this game for 2 reasons:
-Titanfall isn't releasing in my country
-I remember playing the original and loving it so so much
However this game fails to bring very much to the table and just doesn't feel how or look as it should.
-Level Design is Generic... very... very... generic
-Art Style is inconsistent (a very big problem for a game like this)
-Music sounds better when it's off
-the Gimmicks are baaaaaaaaad
Wow isn't that a bit harsh? NO!
Yoshi's Island for the SNES was a masterpiece that was revolutionary in the way the player could interact with the level and enemies, the art style was cute and everything looked hand drawn and The levels and enemies all felt unique.
Yoshi's NEW Island is just a Mario game where you play as Yoshi. You can just run through to the end of the level and any "fun things" in-between only get in your way. I've never found the finding of the hidden question clouds so unrewarding. The Enemies are also just Shy Guys and Piranha Plants. Later when you get to the Boos, they're just your normal every day Boo that we all know and "love". Ok so what? they don't fit in with the art style at all! The boss battles also seem to only require baisic knowledge of shapes and colours. Did I mention how easy this game was? If you die too much (somehow) you get given a pair of yoshi wings that let you hover around.
At best, the platforming on it's own is good, but if you want to really enjoy this game, you're going to have to want to try and get all the collectables. Collect them all and you get a new secret level per world which is slightly harder.
I feel heart broken, lied to and cheated... especially when it's a game from one of the few series that can make me cry just by hearing the music.
You want to play this game? Make sure you've never played any of the previous ones, don't know what a Mario is and your age is 2-6.
