5.0 out of 5 stars Official Nintendo Power Yoshi's Island DS Player's Guide, January 23, 2007

This review is from: Official Nintendo Power Yoshi's Island DS Player's Guide (Paperback)
This Player's Guide goes hand and hand with the game. Helps you to find all the hidden places and items you would have a hard time finding other wise. Makes playing a snap. This is a must for others who are playing Yoshi's Island DS and want to have an edge on the game. And the nice thing it doesn't take away from the excitement yet adds more to it. Ever since I started playing the older classic Nintendo games with my son in the 80's we had to find out things the hard way. And that is find for those of you who like to find things that way. But I can never find them all and need a little help. You can play it first without the guide and then try with it to see if you missed any. And I'll bet you did. Nintendo is know ed for hiding things. Plus it gives you the edge on fighting the bosses and other enemies in the game. I recommended the guide to everyone.

5.0 out of 5 stars A Yoshi Island DS Essential Must-Buy Book!, February 25, 2007
This review is from: Official Nintendo Power Yoshi's Island DS Player's Guide (Paperback)
I gave my daughter a Nintendo DS as a gift, and one of the games I bought for it was Yoshi Island DS because my husband loved the older version of it on Nintendo 64. However, she couldn't get past World 1-3.

We saw this book on a recent shopping trip, and we immediately bought it after browsing it. In just 2 hours (after reading the first few pages until World 1-3), she was able to finish World 1-3 and started playing World 1-4.

The book was so good at presenting all the characters, villains, must-have collection items, must-have bonuses, and ways to rack up points that you feel you can play the game and beat it! The book also gives detailed maps and descriptions of worlds, hints and advice on how to get through each world without actually revealing everything about each world (i.e., it doesn't give spoilers). The layout and graphics were colorful and true-to-life to the DS game. The flow of the writing was also good, i.e., the book first tells you about the basics (controls and moves), characters and common items seen on every level of the game, then the minor games (mini games within each game), lists the enemies, gives you general advice in the form of helpful hints that are useful at each level or world, and then gives you keys on how to read the maps of each world that are subsequently presented.

Being essentially a manual or guidebook on how to play the game, I was expecting some high-fallutin' words that a kid won't be able to understand. So I was pleasantly surprised and pleased to find out the book was very easy to understand. If your average third grader reads a lot, he or she will have no difficulty going through the book and understanding it in order to be able to play the game better.

After reading the book from the basics until World 1-1, I was ready to try the game myself. I don't know if there are too many mothers out there who became addicted to playing the Nintendo DS, but I certainly am hooked now as a result of reading this guidebook! To date, I have completed the first 4 levels in World 1, and I attribute that to the book. Without the book I would probably only last until Level 1, if at all!

In summary, this book is a must-have if you want to be able to play ALL the worlds and levels of Yoshi Island DS. The game is a very entertaining game and will give you lots of fun by itself -- but the fun will be mixed with frustration at too many failed attempts to complete each level (I know because I've been there). The book is well-written, even an 8-year-old kid can understand it. After reading the book, you can play the different levels you have played on Yoshi's Island and improve your scores at each re-playing. This book is an essential partner to the game so you can fully appreciate and enjoy the different worlds and levels available on the game and quickly become a pro! This will help you win at each level rather than die repeatedly because you didn't have the hints and strategies this book gives you.

5.0 out of 5 stars Lovely and Detailed Book, June 17, 2009
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Official Nintendo Power Yoshi's Island DS Player's Guide (Paperback)
This book is one of my favourite purchases. I played the very first one for the SNES and now I have this for the DS and I can't get enough of it. The book helps me to get through those levels that are difficult for me to get a 100 and through the difficult side levels. This is a good and fun game. The guide is well recommended to buy if you are one that uses guides to help you through a game. The guide is very detailed and well put as are most from Nintendo Power. This tells you where EVERYTHING is in each level and who to use at the right times.

On top of that you get to use not one baby but more then one in this game. I always use Peach because she can help me reach areas that I can't without the others. The others are great for areas that they are needed like DK with Vines and Baby Bowser with forzen blocks that hide something as simple as a flower.

This is agreat sequel to the Yoshi's Island for the SNES
