8.8

*runs*

The Good: Compelling characters and story; outstanding world and puzzle design; longer than most action adventure games; terrific graphics, from an artistic perspective.
The Bad: Wii-specific elements feel tacked on; graphics and sound sometimes go from nostalgic to dated.

(In reference to Gamespot's Yoshi's Island DS review):

Gamespot is just giving this a high review to pre-emptively stave off accusations of anti-Nintendo bias when they release their Twilight Princess review and give the game an 8.8.

 

[Xabora]

Hang him by his Man nuts!

 

[Oblivion]

Well, seems the internet had a good run.

 

[elostyle]

Not as good as tales of symphonia? Far below PDZ anyways.
