Product Description

Yoshi's Safari is not exactly the greatest light-gun shooter ever made, but it offers a nice variety of fun to keep you entertained, and it gives you a reason to purchase the Super Scope Gun. The story is about Mario and Yoshi going out on a quest to save Jewelry Land, its two rulers Prince Pine and King Fret, and and retrieve 12 gems under orders from Princess Peach (Holy crap! you don't have to save Peach for once!). So you shoot your way through ten stages of on-rails arcade shooting, destroy familiar enemies like the Koopas, Hammer Bros., and more in familiar Super Mario World-style levels all in the hopes of defeating Bowser (Surprise!) and bringing peace back to the land (Yawn...). The Scope Gun works well with this game and never really feels awkward to shoot. The levels are nicely designed, but the graphics don't seem to have the bright colorful flare of the old 16-bit Mario games. The gun feels responsive and reliable, but while your gun is unlimited in ammo, you have to wait for it to recharge to full capacity to get the best shooting results. Unfortunately, the flaws that cripple this game are its stupidly easy levels and the game is far too short (In my first time playing it, I completed it in just over a half hour and died a grand total of two times). But, if you're a more casual gamer this game will suit you because it's not hard and it's actually quite fun and simple. This may not be Yoshi's best game but its fun nonetheless.

I purchased this game for my son,because he love Yoshi so I thought this would be the perfect game for him. When I read the description of the game it said no where that it required the gun to play the game. So I bought my son a game that he can not play. He was so excited knowing he was getting a new game in the mail, only to find out to my dismay that he could not play it. So I had a very upset four yr old lil boy. I thought that was really bad that the seller did not include this very important information as to what was needed to play this game. I would send this game back if I knew how and that I could. It is serving no purpose so I will never buy from that seller again.

This ties with Battle Clash for me... it is a must have for the Super Scope owner.
