"But as unique and different as Yoshi Universal Gravitation is, it really feels like an undercooked game design. We've put a couple hours into this game, completing more than three entire levels. So far, it's not as elegant a platforming experience as other Nintendo games; it's sort of clunky in its storytelling, and the continuity from one level to the next feels extremely sloppy. The individual areas of a level start and end abruptly, never flowing smoothly from one challenge to the next. The artwork, using the crayon-scribble and CG rendered look of Yoshi's Story on the Nintendo 64, isn't nearly as slick due to clumsy character animation. The rotation definitely works on the GBA, but it's completely digital -- there's only a left, center, and right, and the game won't recognize slight variances between them."

Why the hell did Nintendo hire Artoon to massacre a Yoshi title in the first place?

Hopefully because they hate yoshi as much as i do.

I've put quite a bit of time in YUG (a friend of mine got it for me for Christmas) and it is most certianly not a 2 hour game. Lots of levels and a good amount of fun. It sounds like the person who wrote the impressions hasn't hit the meat of the game yet. The first 30+ levels are more or less training levels.

Yoshi is a solid platformer that throws some new design elements into the mix. Deal with it.

Artoon made this? Man, I used to be more up to date on this GBA stuff than anyone else on the Internet, and now I know nothing. *sigh*

I hope Yoshi eats you and your family and turns you into eggs.. and then throws those eggs at Justin Timberlake..
