Comments

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.
