Is Yoshi's New Island REALLY That Bad? | The Yoshi Fanatic

As a direct sequel to the highly acclaimed Yoshi's Island on the SNES, Yoshi's New Island had big shoes to fill. Unfortunately, this game wasn't received well upon its release, with many criticisms aimed at its story and especially the soundtrack. But that was over a decade ago, and I haven't played the game in quite a while. So I think it's time to give this game a second chance. Is Yoshi's New Island really as bad as everyone says it is?
