Advantages: Good, simple puzzle game.

Disadvantages: Multiplayer can get samey.

When I first saw Mario and Yoshi I assumed that it was simply an addition to the Super Mario series on the Gameboy. Being an avid platformer fan, I bought it, took it home and instantly realised I had actually bought a PUZZLE game! I was at first a little annoyed. I played it for a while. I was actually beginning to LIKE it! After a few more plays through a one player game I really enjoyed the game's quirky graphics and sound track. The idea is simple - you stack up little enemies in blocks of three and they disappear. But unlike most puzzle games, it wasn't a case of simply going on forever. When you enter a level, there are some blocks already laid down. You just have to clear them - but it's not as easy as it sounds. The two player game is also very good, but a little repetitive, as you both start with a blank screen and the simple idea is that you have to "outlast" your opponent. All in all, I think that you should give Mario and Yoshi a try. And afterall, its RRP is only £4.99!!!
