    There have been many Dragon Ball Z games in recent memory (both good and bad), but the same cannot be said for the original Dragon Ball series. You know, back when main protagonist Goku was three feet tall and had a tail? Back then the series had an engaging story that wasn’t about power levels. Thankfully, we have the Dragon Ball Origins series from Namco Bandai to fill that void. Read more

    • highly polished, good controls, nice graphics, decent replayability
    • cutscenes are too numerous and a bit too lengthy

    When all is said and done, Yoshi Touch & Go is a great game but the problem is that you don’t actually get that much value for your money. It has evolved slightly from it’s first showing at E3 2004, but it’s tech demo roots are still highly evident. Perhaps this outing for Yoshi could not have been better named! It is bordering on being brilliant but at other times feels average. Some may like it some may not. It’s Touch & Go at times! Read more

    Originally known as “Balloon Trip,” this game was announced at the same time the DS was back at e3. Little was known about the title until the first few screens were released, but even then I wasn’t exactly sure what to expect. I hadn’t really done my research before buying it except looking at a few scores. I thought it was kind of a platformer where you have to move Yoshi across the screen while killing enemies.

    Yoshi's Island was terrific on the Super Nintendo. It stroke back again on the Game Boy Advance. And now, we get....what seems like a minigame of the Yoshi games. Yoshi Touch & Go has a variety of game modes. The one I always play is Marathon. The graphics are great for the DS handheld. The sounds are superb too. As for the gameplay... In a normal game mode, Baby Mario would fall from the sky. Read more or see product

    This game is an excellent well-rounded game suitable for all ages. Being able to explore the lands, trying to get as far as you can, avoiding all your enemies is an amazing task. It is very addictive in the way that you try to beat your personal best score each time you play. This great game gives you a great oportunity to show off ur stylus skills, being able to create your own tracks and collect coins by circling them and bringing them to mario. Read more

    • Good graphics, addictive adventures
    • no added bonuse games or mini games etc.

    Finally, the game receives a 6/10 for its lack of story that the original Yoshi's Island had and for its repetitive gameplay. The only pluses are its great music and originality. Read more

    I would not recommend this game unless you are incredibly bored and want to waste some money. Read more

    • Nice graphics, ineresting gameplay and a multiplayer mode
    • Boring after the first hour of two. No replay value

  • Manufacturer's Description

Fans of the original Yoshi’s Island may want to keep an eye on this original tech demo for the Nintendo DS system. Balloon Trip puts the system’s touch screen and dual screen support to use in a game design that’s a little hard to explain.
