Although
some people have been skeptical about the look and feel of the
game, I see no problem with the child-like presentation. It's
the game play which got me hooked. It's a fabulous combination
of jumping, swallowing, shooting fun, that had me playing till
the end. Some annoyances come from the incredibly stupid crying
baby Mario who you loose when Yoshi gets hit. Other than that
the intuitive egg aiming works a treat, whch seals off this gem
of a game.
